Categories

Catalogue sections are grouped by product type, age and contents. The set of sections is built from live stock: when a position runs out, its section leaves on its own.

How this list is assembled

A storefront section is exactly one catalogue tag, and the other way round: one tag gives one section. There are no composite tiles holding two tags under a common heading — they were dropped because the counter of such a tile matched neither of the tags being added up, and the buyer saw a number that exists in no category at all.

The list itself is built at the moment you open the page: only tags that currently have stock are taken, sorted by the number of available positions. A tile shows two numbers — how many are in stock now and what price the positions start from; both come from the catalogue rather than from the copy.

If a tag appears in the catalogue that is not on the storefront map, it still gets its own address — otherwise part of the goods would become unreachable. So the set of sections is wider than the list of drawn tiles and changes on its own, without edits to the site.

Section names, by contrast, are fixed: they come from the shop dictionary rather than from the feed. Whatever a batch is called by the supplier, on the storefront it lands in its section by tag — and the section heading does not follow lot titles around.

Why a section can disappear and come back

A section with zero stock switches off entirely: it drops out of this list, leaves the sitemap, and its address starts returning 404. That is neither a deletion of the category nor a fault — it is by design: there should be no live link to an empty storefront.

When a batch under that tag is restocked, the address comes back to life by itself. Hence a practical consequence: if a saved link to a section suddenly stops opening, the reason is almost certainly stock rather than a move — look into this list and check whether the section exists right now.

Old addresses keep working meanwhile. Section slugs have changed over the life of the shop, and the former ones lead to the current ones by a permanent redirect: a link saved half a year ago is not broken by anyone.

What to read in a section and what on the card

A section answers one question — what type of product this is. Everything that decides the hand-over lives one level down: in the title of a particular position and on its card.

  • The delivery format — in the title after the word «Формат». One section holds both text lines and account-manager profiles side by side, and those are different connection scenarios.
  • The contents — right there as marks: mail, a 2FA secret, a cookie, a state such as a freeze or the «Под восстановление» note.
  • The minimum batch and the price — on the card: they are set by the catalogue row, not by the section.

So it is easier to choose in two steps: narrow the type by section, then compare positions by title and card. What each mark means is in the glossary; how to split a delivered line into fields is in the format converter.
