Perch Shop Products Category

Hi,

I am running through a new install of Shop, and am at this stage:

Step 3. Create Categories {#categories}

Select Categories from the Apps menu, and create a new empty Set to act as the primary category set for organizing your store. A good name might be Products. Create some categories as needed for your products. If products are not going to be displayed in Categories you could just use a single category of default.

I have created a set called Memorials for this purpose, but it is still showing as a to-do on the Shop dashboard. Does the set have to be called Products? Not a problem if so but would be better if I could do something different in this case.

Thanks for any help, diagnostic report is below.

Mike

I think it does have to be called Products - there's no way to 'tag' a set to be used for Shop. Other than calling the set 'Products'...

Yes it looks like that is the case, thanks for confirming Duncan. Switched it to Products and it works fine. To be fair this is the first build where I have wanted something different. I will pop some feedback on the page suggesting the docs are updated to make this clearer, at the moment it sounds like you can choose anything.
