Do categories decide which options a product shows?

No. A template's options and bundles determine which choices it offers.

Categories group templates, set their Shopify product type, and carry warranty, terms, signature, deposit and commission rules. Assigning Linden Sofa to Sofas does not automatically add Fabric or Cushion Fill.

Why does a template read No vendor?

No vendor means the template has no available vendor, including when its assigned vendors are inactive. Staff can still add the template, but the new line needs an active vendor. Open the template's Organization settings and choose vendors, or enable Offer all vendors to include active vendors added later.

Why is my export missing the cost columns?

Your role does not have View costs, so Export without costs omits Base cost, Value cost and Cost override. The columns are left out entirely, rather than exported as zeros. Ask an administrator to review your permissions if your work requires those costs.

Can I delete a vendor?

No. Open the vendor at SettingsPurchasing & accountingVendors, turn off Active Vendor, and click Update Vendor.

The inactive vendor leaves pickers while its history remains. Turn Active Vendor back on when staff should be able to choose it again.
