From here, you can add a new brand or edit an existing one.

The brand grid shows the following information:

• URL Key – Enter the URL key that will be used for the brand page.
• Logo – Upload the brand logo. PNG, GIF, JPG, and JPEG files are supported. The maximum file size is 4 MB.
• Featured Brand – Set this to Yes if you want to mark the brand as featured.

• Meta Description – Enter the meta description for the brand page.
• Description – Enter the description you want to show on the brand page.

Click Save Brand when you are done.

Open a brand from the grid to update its URL key, logo, featured setting, meta description, or description.

To remove a brand, open the brand and click Delete.

When you create a new brand, options that are already used by another brand are not shown in the dropdown. When editing a brand, its current option remains available.

Products can be selected manually from the brand edit page.

1. Open a brand from Catalog → Shop by Brand by Towering Media.
2. Go to the product selection section.
3. Select the products you want to assign to the brand.
4. Set a position for each product.
5. Save the brand.

The saved position controls the order of products on the brand page.

The product grid can also be filtered using the configured brand product attribute.

Customers can open the Shop By Brand page to see the available brands.

Brands are shown with their logos and names. Pagination is available when there are more brands to display.

The Browse Brands section can be used to find brands by letter. Featured brands are also shown in the sidebar.

Click a brand to open its brand page.

The brand page shows the brand logo, name, description, and assigned products.

Customers can:

• Filter products
• Sort products
• Move between pages
• Add products to the cart
• Add products to the Wishlist
• Compare products

The brand page also uses the standard Magento product listing toolbar and filters.

When enabled, the brand information is shown on the product page.

The customer can see the brand logo and description. Clicking the logo opens the brand page.

This gives customers a quick way to view other products from the same brand.

The More from this Brand section can be displayed on the product page when it is enabled in the configuration.

It shows other products assigned to the same brand.

The administrator can control:

• Block heading
• Block position
• Product layout
• Number of products
• Product sorting
• Add to Cart button

Each brand can have its own URL key.

For example:

https://example.com/brands/nike

The brands part is controlled by the Route to Brand Pages setting.

Each brand can have its own:

• Meta title
• Meta description
• Brand description

If Add Noindex to Pagination Pages is enabled, paginated brand pages use:

NOINDEX,FOLLOW

This setting applies to brand pagination pages after the first page.

Use the following checklist after installing and configuring the extension:

• [ ] Check that the Shop by Brand module is enabled.
• [ ] Check the Brand Product Attribute setting.
• [ ] Create a brand and set its URL key.
• [ ] Upload a valid logo and save the brand.
• [ ] Check that the brand is enabled.
• [ ] Assign products to the brand and set their positions.
• [ ] Open the Shop By Brand page and check that the brand is listed.
• [ ] Open the brand page and check the logo, description, and products.
• [ ] Check product filtering, sorting, and pagination.
• [ ] Check Wishlist, Compare Products, and Add to Cart.
• [ ] Open an assigned product and check the brand information.
• [ ] Click the brand logo and check that it opens the correct brand page.
• [ ] If More from this Brand is enabled, check that the block appears correctly.
• [ ] Check the block position, layout, product limit, and sorting.
• [ ] Check the brand URL and pagination noindex setting.
• [ ] Clear Magento cache after changing the configuration.

Check whether the option is already being used by another brand. An option that already has a brand page is not shown when creating another brand.

Check that the products have been assigned to the brand. Also make sure the products are enabled and available in the catalog.

Check the logo file type and size. PNG, GIF, JPG, and JPEG are supported, and the file must be 4 MB or smaller.

Check that the brand is enabled and that the URL key is correct.

Also check the Route to Brand Pages setting.

Clear the Magento cache after changing the URL settings.

Clear the Magento cache and Full Page Cache, then reload the page.

Check that the block is enabled in the configuration.

Also make sure there are other products assigned to the same brand.

This is expected. Changing the Brand Product Attribute does not change the attribute used by brands that were already created.
