PRODUCT ID
Making Changes to a product. At anytime you can change the product EXCEPT RENAMING THE PRODUCT ID.
The PRODUCT ID once first created must never be renamed later. If you rename the Product Id, you will lose all links, this also includes search engines such as Google. Renaming a Product ID is web suicide.
Product ID Policy: You can use any letter or number including - (dash) e.g. my-bike-32-inch for your Product ID.
Tip: Never use underscore_ as many search engines will not index and store that page.
PRODUCT NAME
You can name the Product with letters and numbers. This will be the name seen inside the menus, on hyperlinks and inside any Google results.
Product Name Policy: You should name your products sensibly in a manner that accurately describes that product AND, assists you being found in the major search engines.
e.g. My 32" Mens Racing Bike Yellow Frame
CATEGORY / SECTION
The section is the CATEGORY where you place your product. Once you have a Product ID, you can freely move in and out of any Category (section). The Product ID will follow your control.
If you intend to delete a section, you must first move out all of the products into a different category. Once the section is empty. Then you may delete.
IF you delete a section (Category) whilst product reside, you will be creating a loop. Loops are not good.
Category Name Policy: You should name your categories sensibly, and in a manner that helps your keywords.
e.g. GTR Taipan Mens Racing Bikes, e.g. Speedflex Mountain Bikes 16-24"
Category names are vital for the successful navigation of your store.

There are two price field options, Retail and Wholesale. You can use one or both together.
Only customers who are logged in can see wholesale. Before a customer can gain access to your wholesale prices, you must approve them inside your admin panel. You receive an email when a customer requests login status.
Retail Prices - Retail prices are the normal sales price. This is shown in bold on each webpage.
Wholesale Prices - Wholesale prices are 'trade' prices. This field is non mandatory and you may or may not use wholesale at your discretion at any time.
Price Name Policy: You should include two decimal places. e.g. 100.00
The currency of your choice is automatically displayed, so 100.00 becomes $100.00 on your webpage.

The headline is the larger text that appears above your product picture. Use this to portray a powerful sales message or buying description of the product. This field is mandatory and will follow your product around WavyGuy.

We suggest for each product, your Long Description contains at least 300 words. This will dramatically help you get found in WavyGuy and major search engines.
Write your product descriptions naturally and with clear concise details.
Be accurate and avoid keyword stuffing. Keyword stuffing will harm you, not help you.

We also suggest, that you write 10-15 lines of short description. This will be used at different parts of your store and will help major search engines find you.
