Home > Premium version settings

In the plugin you will be able to find the General options tab, where you can set up all the general features, then the Brands tab, where you can add and configure each brand and an Import tab, where you can import the brands from a CSV file.

Moreover, you will find plenty of Gutenberg blocks, shortcodes and widgets to display your brands on the frontend.

Default brand taxonomy: all entries in Product -> Brands will be treated as brands; For further details, scroll the page to the Brand creation entry.
Product categories: all product categories will be treated as brands and for this reason, for each of them, you can set an image to show in detail page and the redirect link for users who click on the category name.
Product tags: all tags created for products in your shop will be treated as brands. Therefore, what has been said for categories goes also for tags.
Attributes: among the available options you will be able to find also all the product attributes created in the shop, for example product color, product materials and product size in the screenshot below. You can handle just one attribute at a time if they are treated as brands.

Brands tab

Name
Slug
Parent brand
Description
Thumbnail or logo
Banner: this is the banner image that appears on the brand page
Custom URL: here you can add a custom URL for this brand, by default it takes to the brand page

On the right side, instead, you will be able to see the list of all brands and for each of them you can view the brand detail page, edit the brand, delete the brand from the brand actions.

Bulk delete brands and CSV Export

From this page, you can also select either all or specific brands and either delete or export them into a CSV file.

Please, see the Import page to see how to import brands from a CSV file.

CSV import

From the Import tab, you will be able to import the brands from a CSV file.

You can also edit the delimiter, which by defaul is the comma.

The CSV file will include the following columns:

id: ID of the brand (the format requires it although it is not used);
name: name of the brand;
slug: slug of the brand;
description: description of the brand;
parent: ID of the parent brand (it will be searched in the current installation and not in the CSV brands);

thumbnail: the image of the brands that has base_url domain;
banner: banner image for the brands that has base_url domain;
custom_url: custom URL to be stored within the brand and used instead of the default brand URL.

Wondering how to export the brands instead? Please, refer to the Bulk delete and CSV export section on this page.

How to assign brands to products

Home > Premium version settings

In the product edit page, you will be able to find a dedicated metabox to choose the brand, just below the Category and Tag metaboxes.

You can also select multiple products from the Products page and bulk assign one or more brands from the Bulk actions.

To find out how to show your brands on the product and Shop page, please, make sure you enable the related options in the General options tab.

Brand detail page

Home > Premium version settings

The plugin automatically generates a new archive page for every brand, where you can display the brand logo, banner, description, and all the products in that brand.

For more details about how to configure these details, please, refer to the Brands tab.

Brand restrictions in coupons

Insert brand in product permalink

Home > Premium version settings

The product permalink basic structure can be edited to dynamically insert the brand name associated to the product in the URL.
