How do you link the CMS front end pages to catalogues and products - I have set up the catalogues but get a 404 page when trying to view the catalogues or products. Is there any documentation on how to set up CMS pages to the Commerce?
Thanks
If this product is so good why is the documentation on how to set up a simple catalog of products so rubbish?
Can anyone tell me how you can create a simple Events catalog which has a list of Event (products) that show the Prices and can be set up to show the correct price per Member login?
Anyone?
Is there any code regarding Creating a brand new Product via code?
