Go to Catalog > Categories
Search and click Edit on the category you wish to make external linking.

IMPORTANT: Previously, Aspenware Commerce required that all categories were set to Include in top menu for the category to work, but this selection now is no longer required during configuration and is now used to enable this new feature. Consequently, if there are existing Aspenware Commerce categories that were configured previously with the Include in top menu box checked, those will need to be unchecked if you do not want them displayed as focus categories in the Commerce Site Navigation. |

To customize a language string:
Go to Configuration > Languages
Click Edit on English.
Expand String Resources Tab.
Search for the string resourcein Resource Name.
Click Edit.
Enter the desired text to display.
Click Update.
Special Considerations
Categories fenced by customer roles are supported.
Some content elements cannot be configured, such as the cart notice title “Item Added,” “Subtotal,” “View Cart,” “Checkout”, and header content, including “Menu”, Login, Logout, and “More…” which appears if more than four focused header categories are enabled. These will be converted to language strings and customizable in Admin in a future release.
For customers using the Loyalty feature, The setting for loyalty.fab.attach.to, which controls the location of the loyalty Fab must be set to #HERO for it to display correctly. The fab position of #BRANDHEADER is not supported for ResortOS shops. (Refer to the Configuration: Loyalty for more details on editing this setting.)
For customers using the loyalty feature, the Loyalty Styles HTML widget’s HTML should be updated to the code snippet below. Note that the change is to --fab-position-top-mobile: 80px so that the fab is always located below the header and above the products and shop banner. (Refer to the Configuration: Loyalty for more details on editing this HTML widget.)
