Showing products on the site

Which products are shown on different web sites?

You define which products are to be shown on different web sites by a setting in the product itself. 

Showing product information on the website

There are a number of page types that can be used to display products.

1. Product page: Shows a single product.
2. Product list page: Shows products from a given product list.
3. Category page: Shows information about the category itself, and lists the products in it.
4. Section pages: There are several section pages that can be used to promote products.

WebForms or MVC?

You can use both WebForms and MVC to display products and categories in the online store.

WebForms: display template and .aspx files

If you use WebForms, the rendering of products and categories is handled by an .aspx file. Each field template can be linked to one display template, and each display template can point out one .aspx file per web site.

MVC: action and controller

If you use MVC, the rendering of products and categories is handled by actions and controllers. Each field template can be linked to one display template, and each display template can point out one action and one controller per web site.
