Comics

Due to tax reasons, comics should have 2 entries on the taxonomy tree.

• New comics, sold at, or below cover price are periodicals, but as they typically are not returnable, do not fit under magazines. but are periodical media

• Comics sold at above cover price are collectibles, and should have an entry of their own, as much as collectible cards do.

Graphic novels work perfectly well under printed books.

As well, Comics, in both categories should be able to access the built-in Genre metafield

Description

In defense of my proposal for a comics section under collectibles, I would point out that comics share very little with the other collectibles sub categories, except, perhaps, collectible cards, which has the sub categories sports and non-sports.

In defense of my proposal for comics having their own entry under Media> Periodicals, they do not share the same category as magazine (in fact, there is a whole history concerning the creation of comic magazines such as Mad, to skirt the Comic Code.

I can't share a specific store as an example, but I have several clients and I have made over 2 dozen shopify sites for comic and game shops.

Please feel free to reach out to me with any questions

Thank you for these suggestions @ivanwine!

A separate category for Comics sold at above cover price in the Collectibles area makes a lot of sense. We're also looking into creating a separate structure in the Media vertical for periodical media, including new comics. Genre or an equivalent attribute will come as a preset. Please bear with us while we work on these changes for our next release in or around October 2024.

I appreciate it. I’d absolutely love to be able to make your category system work with my clients products. The comics industry is an especially weird one, made even more obvious when put into the Shopify ecosystem (3,500 new SKUs every month!) Thank you for your time! -Ivan He / Him WWW.YOUR FACTOTUM.CO <http://factotum.com>M

I add the Comics sold at above cover price in the Collectibles area.
The breadcrumbs and the attributes located here.
As for the new comics it exist in media vertical under Genre attribute.

Comics are periodicals and graphic novels are books, however. This screenshot you supplied seems to show them listed as the same thing -Ivan He / Him WWW.YOUR FACTOTUM.CO <http://factotum.com>M
