Product type facets allow you to organize your different products into categories on your online store. Product types are configured using four (4) out-of-the-box facets: Publications, Events, Merchandise, and Other Departments. You may rename the labels as desired. Product classes must be linked to the codes within these facets. You may also add as many "Product Classes" to each facet as desired.
Product facets, powered by system types and codes (highlighted below),
drive what is displayed in the sort order. In order to get a product facet
to display on the web, you must first web-enable it.

is the facet code and it is assigned to the following product classes:
books, uncategorized, technology, internet, computer, financial, digital
content, and magazine. In order for the product class to display on the
web, it must be web enabled.

product class. See Configuring
