Item Management
Overview
The Edit Items screen gives you at a glance an overview of your store items, their price, sale status, and number of purchases. You may select items to edit or delete by checking the boxes on the right and selecting the appropriate action from the drop-down menu next to the Submit button. Items may be added by clicking the Add Items button on the top right.
Adding Items
From the Simple Commerce module's control panel home page, or from the Edit Items section, click Add Items. You will be presented with a familiar looking screen, one that looks much like the Edit section of the Control Panel, and can in fact perform searches here using the same methods.
To add Store Items, simply check the boxes to the right of the items you wish to add to your store, and then click Submit (Add Item should appear as the action in the drop-down menu next to the Submit button).
Adding / Editing Item Details
When editing a store item or adding a new one, you will be presented with the following form. If you selected multiple items, you will be able to see and edit the details for each item all from the same page.
Regular Price
This is the price the item will normally be sold for. Required.
Sale Price
When on sale, the item will be sold for this price. Required, even if the price is the same as the regular price.
Use Sale Price?
When checked, the item will be sold at the Sale Price instead of the Regular Price
Item Enabled
When checked, the item will be enabled and available for purchase. If unchecked, the Simple Commerce Purchase tag will not show details, purchase links, or buttons for this item.
Admin Email Address
Send administrator email notifications for this item to the specified email address.
Admin Email Template
The email template that will be used to generate administrator notification emails for this item.
Customer Email Template

New Member Group
If selected, a member who purchases this item will automatically be moved to the designated member group for this item.
For example, you could have a member group called "member_paid" and when a current registered member purchases an item called "Yearly Membership" the member group would be automatically switched to the "member_paid" member group.
