Currently ShopTab admin does not provide an ordering system to move products or categories around or to feature specific products onto the home page; however, there is a simple solution to organize your categories and or products.  For existing ShopTab users follow these steps:

1) Log into http://admin.shoptab.net and then click on My Products tab which should be the default page you land on

2) At the bottom of your products click Export Products

3) Open the Export Products in a spreadsheet program like Microsoft Excel

4) Once the file is opened, delete the ID column as this is an ID column assigned by the ShopTab database

5) Organize your products and or categories in the way you want them to show on ShopTab. The products near the top of the spreadsheet are those that will show first.  Special Note: On the first page of your Facebook ShopTab 10 (default setting), 20, 50 or 100 products are displayed.  If you want specific products to always show on the first page make sure those are the first 10 products at the top of your spreadsheet

6) Once done organizing all your products and or categories, save the file as a .csv to your computer

7))  In ShopTab Admin, go to the Data Feed tab and upload your new .csv file.  Wait about 5 seconds (based on average 500 products file) and then click on My Products tab and all your products should be displayed.  If you run into any issues please submit your .csv file, email address you use to log into ShopTab admin in a ticket at http://support.shoptab.net

Once the steps above are completed your Facebook ShopTab categories and or products or services will be displayed in the exact order you desire.  Let us know if any questions.
