Posting information about when your items ship is a good way to show your customers that you mean business.

To make it easier for you to include and update this info in your store, we've added an "Availability" field to the Store Editor and Catalog Manager. Just use the field on the "Variables" page to set availability info for all your items, or override the variable on individual pages to set it per item.

To set the availability in the Store Editor:

1. From the Store Manager, click Store Editor.
2. Click Variables in the Editor toolbar.
3. Use the Availability drop-down menu to select an availability.
4. Click Update.

This sets the availability for all products to the value you selected. If you need to set a different availability for one or more products, override the Availability variable for each product that is different from the global availability value, and select the appropriate value.

To set the availability in the Catalog Manager

1. From Store Manager, click Catalog Manager.
2. Click Manage my Tables.
3. Click the link for the table you wish to edit.
4. Click Edit under Store Fields.
5. Scroll to the bottom, select Availability, and click Add Field.
6. Click Update and then Save.
7. Go to the Items tab, select and edit all items, and set an Availability value for each product appropriately.

You can also upload Availability if you build your store using database uploads.
