Animal Listing Fields Explained

Price - Price of the animal.

Sale Price - If you want to list a reduced price, enter a number here. For this to work you must list a regular Price as well.

Categories & Tags - The selections made in this section will determine where your listing shows up on your website. Using the Pastel het Albino Ball Python example, you would list that animal under the Ball Python, Albino and Pastel categories.

Variation Control - If you do not desire to list individual pictures for your animals but instead wish to list an example photo with the option to choose sex, you can use this section.

Advanced Options - Fill in this information to have ID #, Hatch Date, Sex and/or Weight appear on your listing.

Animal Images - Select an image to display on your listing.

Additional Animal Listing Options

Categories - To add a new morph or type of animal to your website, click + Add new category to the “Categories” Group. Enter the Name, select the Group Parent (if applicable) and click Add Group. Depending on how your website is setup, this will not automatically add a page to your website. You may have to manually add a page and insert the category code onto the page. If the Category sidebar widget is in use, manually adding a page to your site is not necessary.

Variations - To add a new Variation drop down to your Animal Listings, enter the Name and Variation Values in the right column and click Add. The new variation will automatically be available for use in the Animal section.

*NOTE: Generally their is no need for you to add or change any settings in the Categories, Variations or Settings sections of the Animal Listings. If you change any of these settings, we are not liable for any errors this can cause on your website. We are available to add or edit these options for an hourly rate.

Additional Gallery Options

Captions - To add a Caption to your image, click Manage Gallery from the Gallery drop down. Click the gallery where your photo is uploaded. Next to each photo are two fields. The first field is the alt tag which is used in the code to describe your photo (used for search engine optimization and the visually impaired). The second field is your caption which will appear when you click a thumbnail. The caption field permits the use of HTML.
