    Hi there!
    I have an online store with new and second-hand products that share the same categories (cold, hot, cooking, pastry, etc).
    What is the best way to separate them (new and second hand)? for collections? tags? categories?
    What should be the recommended syntax? I thought for example:
    Home/product/new/cold/name-of-product
    Home/product/second-hand/cold/name-of-product

    but I can’t use the same name (cold) for new and used categories.
    If you have not understood, please let me know.
    Thanks!

    Hi there, @nibfreelancer, thanks for contacting us!

    What is the best way to separate them (new and second hand)? for collections? tags? categories?

    My understanding is that you would like some feedback from us on the best way to categorize products based on whether they are new or second hand, is that correct?

    I don’t think there is a “correct” answer to your question because there are several ways to achieve that and all of them will work.

    Given that you are already using Product categories for your products (cold, hot, cooking, etc.), I would suggest using Product tags to label your products as New or Second hand. That will allow you to keep concepts separated. However, notice using Product categories would be completely fine as well, given that a product can be assigned to more than one category.

    An alternative option, which is more complex because it requires writing custom code, would be to create a custom Product taxonomy named “Product Status (New/Second hand)” that would serve this specific purpose.

    My last suggestion, in case you would like to allow users to filter products by New/Second hand status, would be to use Product Attributes. You can find more information about Product Attributes in this page:

    Hope that helps!

    Hello,

    I like the idea that Albert gave, I mean, there are many ways to implement this.
    I was checking this plugin: Product Condition for WooCommerce,
    https://woocommerce.com/products/product-condition-for-woocommerce/

    It might help you set up specific conditions for your products not only used and brand new but more, just in case you would like to escalate your business model in the near future.

    You can set up the following conditions:

    • Acceptable
    • Brand New
    • Certified Pre-Owned
    • Damaged
    • For Parts
    • Good
    • Like New
    • Manufacturer Refurbished
    • New
    • New Other
    • New With Box
    • New With Defects
    • New With Tags
    • New Without Box
    • New Without Tags
    • Pre-Owned
    • Remanufactured
    • Retread
    • Seller Refurbished
    • Used
    • Very Good

    I hope this helps.
