Understanding MightyMerchant Components

What is a Component?

MightyMerchant uses the term "component" to describe the functionality and presentation we have developed for each type of web page you will need to use on your website. Here are some examples of types of web pages:

1. A shopping cart product page.

2. A blog.

3. An FAQ section.

4. A gallery of photos.

5. A services section on your website.

Each example above requires a specific set of functions and a layout that goes along with those functions.

Assigning a Component

Components are assigned to categories in MightyMerchant. Each component has a component type and also a component layout. Most components have multiple layouts to choose from; each layout will change the way the section of the website looks on the website.

To assign a component:

1. Go to the category in your Site Manager where you want to set the component.

2. Select a component from the "Component Name" field.

3. Save your changes.

4. (Optional) Usually you can leave the default layout. If you want to select a different layout you can re-open the category and assign a component layout from the "Component Layout" field. The list of layouts will change depending on the Component Name you have selected.
