Read our feature guide on product specifications for more information. This feature works in the same way for both WebShop and PocketShop.

Display selling units and pack sizes

Display product pack size and/or selling units if it is imported from your ERP. Importing and displaying selling units and pack sizes works in the same way as it does on WebShop.

Display PDF downloads

Add PDF documents containing additional information to the detailed product screen, which your customers can download onto their device as needed.

When you have products that share the same PDF documents, using the Shared Product Downloads feature allows you to reuse the same documents with different products. By default, there is a 1:1 relationship between product and document, which may lead you to importing the same document multiple times. When enabled, the Shared Document feature allows you to change the relationship to a Many:1 relationship between product and document, so that you can import the document once, and link it to multiple products using the product code as the product identifier.

Read our feature guide on Shared Product Downloads for more information. This feature works in the same way for both WebShop and PocketShop.
