This platform is hosted and has some peculiarities that appears in the structure of categories and subcategories. The first will appear as collections, and the second - as tags, due to SaaS shopping cart structure.
Quite often, store owners can’t see the part of their products on the front of the store while the same items appear in admin area. This happens, if products after migration have “0” quantity in stock and are automatically settled as “Out of Stock”. In accordance with this fact, some shopping carts automatically hide such products from displaying on the frontend of the store.
