Products & Categories

Products are the heart of BYNDIO. Everything else — orders, commissions, reviews, shipping — revolves around them. Here is how products show up on the public-facing website and what you need to know as an admin.

Product listing page

Visitors can browse all approved products at https://byndio.in/products. This page shows a grid of product cards, each displaying:

• Product image — The main photo uploaded by the seller.
• Product name — The title the seller gave it.
• Price — The current selling price, with the original price shown as a strikethrough if there is a discount.
• Rating — The average star rating from customer reviews.
• Seller name — So customers know who is selling it.

Visitors can filter products by category, price range, rating, and availability. They can also sort by newest, price (low to high or high to low), popularity, or rating.

Category pages

Each product category has its own page at a URL like https://byndio.in/categories/electronics. These pages work just like the main product listing but only show products in that specific category.

Categories are organised in a parent-child hierarchy. For example, “Electronics” might contain subcategories like “Smartphones”, “Laptops”, and “Headphones”. Visitors can drill down into subcategories to narrow their search.

You manage categories from the admin panel under Categories. You can create new ones, rename them, reorder them, add images, and nest them under parent categories.

Product detail page

When a visitor clicks on a product card, they land on the product detail page. This is where the buying decision happens. The page includes:

• Image gallery — Multiple product photos that visitors can swipe through or zoom into.
• Price and discount — The current price, any active discount, and the savings amount.
• Description — A detailed write-up about the product, written by the seller.
• Specifications — Structured details like weight, dimensions, material, colour options, and sizes.
• Customer reviews — Star ratings and written feedback from people who bought the product.
• Questions & Answers — A section where prospective buyers can ask questions and get answers from the seller or other customers.
• Seller information — The seller’s name, rating, and a link to their storefront.
• Related products — A row of similar products that might interest the visitor.

Customers can add items to their cart or wishlist directly from this page. They can also select product variants (size, colour, etc.) if the seller has set them up.

Product approval

This is important: products uploaded by sellers do not go live automatically. Every new product and every edit to an existing product comes to you for approval first.

In the admin panel, go to Products and look for items with a “Pending” status. Click on a product to review its details — images, description, pricing, category, and specifications. If everything looks good, approve it. If something needs fixing (poor images, misleading description, wrong category), reject it with a note explaining what needs to change.

This approval step protects the marketplace. It ensures that only legitimate, well-described products appear on the site, which builds customer trust.

Things to watch for during approval

• Misleading images — Stock photos that do not match the actual product.
• Incomplete descriptions — Products with vague or missing descriptions hurt the shopping experience.
• Wrong categories — A product listed under the wrong category makes it harder for customers to find.
• Pricing issues — Suspiciously low prices could indicate a scam. Extremely high prices might be an error.
• Prohibited items — Make sure the product is allowed on your platform per your terms of service.
