Magento Category and Product Listing Pages - Top 3 Challenges

March 3, 2018

eCommerce Product listing pages are the heart of every online store. Also known as category pages, this is where the list of products is displayed. In Magento, creating these pages is a manual task that needs to be done regularly to keep the pages afresh. While Magento provides a strong platform to conduct commerce, we often hear that one of the main challenges here is that the platform is geared for marketers and merchandisers who are tech-savvy.  Some of the basic challenges faced are

Manual efforts to create product listing or category pages:

Assigning a product to a category or subcategory is done by retailers by manually accessing the 'Manage Categories' or 'Manage Products" menu. This means each time a new product has been added to your store, someone has to manually add them to all the relevant category pages. Else they are unlikely to get displayed on the front end.

Static pages that do not update dynamically:

By assigning products to the categories using the manual method, Magento depends on the user to update the catalog and each category with newly added products. This means you need to manually edit the relevant categories so that the new products are displayed at your store. For example, a page for New Arrivals or Sale, requires the team to manually add/delete every product to this page based on the date of arrival or the discount.

Lack of visual aids to promote or remove products:
