ezimerchant Professional version 4

You may have the need to supply your customers with additional files which provide more information about the product that your customer is purchasing. Files like MP3's, PDF's, Demo Programs (.exe) etc are a good example of these.

We have included a feature in ezimerchant Professional which allows you to 'attach' these additional files to your products.

STEP 1

From the main screen in ezimerchant Professional, click the 'Manage Products and Categories' link.

STEP 5

Enter a 'Title' - This will be displayed on the website as the link to the file.
