Filtering and sorting marketplace abstract products

The following drop-down menus can be used to filter the marketplace abstract products on the Products page:

  • Categories where the abstract product belongs.
  • Visibility (defines whether the product is online or offline).
  • Stores where the abstract product is available.
  • Approval status (defines whether the product is approved or denied by the marketplace administrator).

The page refreshes and displays the available options as soon as the filter parameters are selected.

To sort the existing abstract products, select one or more sorting parameters from the drop-down menu on the Products page. Choose among the following sort criteria:

  • SKU
  • Name
  • Number of variants
  • Visibility status
  • Approval status

By default, the table is sorted descendingly by SKU.
