FAQ



FAQ (frequently asked questions) page type is used to make a list of questions and answers, which provide a better understanding of a particular topic. The FAQ page is very useful for listing the most common questions and answers about your webstore. For example, you can provide information about which payment and shipping methods are supported by your webstore, are there any discounts or special offers.

Create an FAQ page

To create an FAQ page in Sana Admin click: Web pages > FAQ.

Here you can create new FAQ page, edit or delete, translate into any available language, copy to another webstore, view it in the webstore and set as a home page.

When a page is filled in with content you can preview it to see how it will look in the webstore before saving it.

You can also search for an FAQ page by title and URL. You can also sort the FAQ pages by title and URL.

The tables below provide the description of the FAQ page fields.

Basics

Field Description
Title Enter the FAQ page title.
URL Enter the FAQ page URL. You should specify the part of the FAQ page URL which will be used after your webstore address.

URL is the required field only for the FAQ pages in the default language (English). For the FAQ pages in other existing languages the URL field is optional. If you do not specify it, the URL of the default language (English) will be used.

Use FAQ page items under the Basics tab to create the list of question and related answers.

The overall structure of the FAQ page items is presented as a list or tree. You can change the order in which you want FAQ page items to be shown by dragging and dropping them into the order you want. You can also change the levels of FAQ page items, either make it as a parent item or as a child to the one of the first level item. The number of child items that can be created is not limited. Do not create a very deep structure of the FAQ page items to be nicely presented on a page (not more than three (four)-level structure).
