msgid "Choosing the displayed price tax usually depends on a country's regulations or the type of customers **(B2B vs. B2C)**. To select the type of price displayed, go to :menuselection:`Website --> Configuration --> Settings`, scroll down to the :guilabel:`Shop - Products` category, and select :guilabel:`Tax Excluded` or :guilabel:`Tax Included`."
msgid "This setting is **global**, and the tax-display type is the same for (all of) your website(s). It is, therefore, not possible to select different tax displays for different websites. This may be a significant point of consideration when implementing a database with multiple ecommerce websites aimed at varying customer types (i.e., B2B and B2C)."

When enabled, ensure an amount is set in the :guilabel:`Base Unit Count` field of the **product template**, and in the :guilabel:`Sales Price`."
msgid "Pricelists are the primary tool to manage prices on your eCommerce. They allow you to define website-specific prices - different from the price on the product template - based on the **country group**, **currency**, **minimum quantity**, **period**, or **variant**. You can create as many pricelists as needed, but it is mandatory to have at least one pricelist configured per website. If no custom pricelists are added, Odoo defaults to the **Public Pricelist** for all websites."

msgid "The **first** option allows you to set different prices per customer *segment*, i.e., registered customers, gold customers, regular customers, etc. The **second** option allows you to set *price change* rules such as **discounts**, **margins**, **roundings**, etc."
msgid "If you are selling in **multiple currencies** and have pricelists in foreign currencies, customers can select their corresponding pricelist anywhere on the :guilabel:`Shop` page from the drop-down menu next to the **search bar**."
msgid "If you have permanently reduced the price of a product, a popular means to attract customers is the **strikethrough** strategy. The strategy consists in displaying the previous price crossed out and the **new discounted price** next to it."
msgid "To display a 'striked' price, enable the :guilabel:`Comparison Price` option under :menuselection:`Website --> Configuration --> Settings --> Shop - Products category`. Then, head to the product's template (:menuselection:`Website --> eCommerce --> Products`), and in the :guilabel:`Compare to Price` field, enter the **new** price."

msgid "A *Chatbot* is a program designed to mimic a conversation with a live human. Chatbots are assigned a script of pre-written steps to follow. The scripts are designed to anticipate a visitor's potential response, and lead them through a series of questions and answers the same way a live team member would."
msgid "Chatbots can be customized to fill various roles, from customer support, to creating leads, to collecting contact information. The goal of the chatbot depends on the page of the website they are assigned, and the messages included in the script, among other criteria."
msgid "Before creating a new chatbot, the *Live Chat* application must first be installed on the database. This can be done directly from the :menuselection:`Apps` menu by searching for `Live Chat` in the :guilabel:`search bar` and clicking :guilabel:`Install`."

msgid "To create a chatbot script, navigate to the :guilabel:`Script` tab of the chatbot details page, and click :guilabel:`Add a Line` to open the :guilabel:`Create Script Steps` pop-up form."
msgid "First, enter the content of the message in the :guilabel:`Message` field. Then, select an option from the :guilabel:`Step Types` drop-down menu."
msgid "The :guilabel:`Step Type` selected depends on the intended purpose of the message. The available options in the :guilabel:`Step Type` drop-down are listed below, as well as their use, and any additional information:"
msgid "Text step types are only intended to deliver information, and do not allow for any visitor input. As such, they need to be followed by additional steps to continue the conversation."
msgid "This step asks a question and provides a set of answers. The visitor clicks on one answer, which either leads to a new step in the conversation, or can lead to an optional link to a new webpage."
msgid "It is helpful to add a catchall answer to question steps (ex: \"Something else\"). This helps visitors continue the conversation, even if their needs don't exactly fit with any of the other answers."
msgid "This step prompts visitors to provide their email address, which is stored and can be used by team members later to follow up with additional information."
msgid "The only accepted inputs for this step type are email addresses that are in a valid format. If a visitor attempts to enter anything other than a valid email address, the chatbot responds with a message stating it does not recognize the information submitted."
msgid "Similar to email, this step type prompts the visitor to enter their phone number, which can be used at a later time to follow up with additional information, or to schedule demos, and more."
msgid "This step forwards the conversation to an active live chat operator, so that they can continue assisting the visitor. As the conversation transcript is passed on to the operator they are able to pick up where the chatbot left off. This not only saves time for all parties involved, it can also help qualify conversations before they reach live human operators."
msgid "If no active operator is available on the channel, the chatbot continues the conversation with the visitor. Therefore, additional steps should be added after this one to ensure that there is no abrupt end to the conversation."
msgid "The free input step allows visitors to respond to questions without providing pre-written responses. Information provided in these responses is stored in the chat transcripts."
msgid "Choose between :guilabel:`Free Input` and :guilabel:`Free Input (Multi-Line)` depending on the type and amount of information being requested from the visitor."

Mega menus can also be structured more visually than regular drop-down menus, for example, through layout, typography, and icons."
msgid "To create a mega menu, go to :menuselection:`Website --> Site --> Menu Editor` and click :guilabel:`Add Mega Menu Item`. Enter the :guilabel:`Name` of the mega menu in the pop-up, click :guilabel:`OK`, then :guilabel:`Save`."

The tool also suggests relevant keywords to drive your web traffic. The more keywords are present on your webpage, the better."
msgid "If you change the title of a blog post or the name of a product, the changes apply automatically everywhere on your website. The old link still functions when external websites use a :ref:`301 redirect <website/URL-redirection>`, maintaining the SEO link juice."
msgid "Compare how your website ranks using `Google Page Speed <https://pagespeed.web.dev/?utm_source=psi&utm_medium=redirect>`_ or `Pingdom Website Speed Test <https://tools.pingdom.com/>`_."

Adding alt tags keywords in the :guilabel:`Description` field is essential from an SEO perspective. This description is added to the HTML code of your image, and it is shown when the image cannot be displayed."
msgid "Structured data markup is used to generate rich snippets in search engine results. It is a way for websites to send structured data to search engine robots, helping them understand your content and create well-presented search results."

This allows your product pages to be displayed in Google using extra information like the price and rating of a product:"
msgid "A robots.txt file tells search engine crawlers which URLs the crawler can access on your site, to index its content. This is used mainly to avoid overloading your site with requests."
