Product Ribbons

Product Ribbons is a new feature that allows you to create and customize ribbons to display on Products in the catalog, on Product Listing widgets and on the User dashboard. Product ribbons can be used as a visual call out on a Product to help drive registration and revenue or highlight important information about the product such as: 

• New, Highly Rated or Recommend product offerings 
• Credit information 
• Product category or subject 
• Free or reduced cost offerings
