# Trade Portal Products

enables trade portal product configuration.

Trade portals require specific product configuration before products can be published.

Products need [brands](/gtx/docs/trade-portal-products#brands) and [web categories](/gtx/docs/trade-portal-products#product-web-categories) configured.

They then need to be marked for [web publishing](/gtx/docs/trade-portal-products#publishing-products).

If multiple [product locations](/gtx/docs/trade-portal-products#product-locations) are enabled, each location also needs to be marked for web publishing.

### Product Brands

**To set up brands:**

- Open Brand Maintenance (System > System Files > Products > Product Brands)
- **Add** any additional brands, as required

> add brand maintenance link

### Product Web Categories

**Product web categories** must be configured before products can be assigned to them.

Product web categories can be viewed and edited by selecting **System > System Files > Products > Product Web Categories** from the menu bar.

- Click the **Add** button at the top of the module window

In the **Add Web Category** window that opens:

**Note:** The HTML section below can also be used to edit the Story description's online appearance (or hidden, by unticking Show HTML in the Story toolbar).

> :::(Warning) (Tip) [Bulk File Maintenance](/gtx/docs/bulk-file-maintenance) can be used to update the web fields of multiple products at once. :::
