Store block tags are versatile tools for building an online store quickly and easily. Store blocks display online storefront components - Navigation Bar, Product Info, Shopping Cart, etc, which are all integral parts of an online store. The difference between block tags and info tags is that a store block tag calls a template (an html page) where any number of tags can be used, including other block tags as well as info tags.
The structure of folders containing the store block templates is shown below.
A helpful aid for working with store block tags is the document Avactis Store Blocks Customization. It provides detailed information about customizing store blocks.
