If you own and operate a Yahoo Store, then you are probably already aware of the Final-text variable. Typically, I use this variable for adding all my little store icons down at the bottom of my pages. One of my stores sells neon open signs and I include my newsletter signup form, google ads, my trust seals, credit cards we accept, etc. (see image below)

For the Final-text variable, I use raw html code and paste it into the field in my store and by doing this, all of my store pages will feature the same thing at the bottom of the pages. This way I can simply update this one field and it will update on every page of my site. This saves me time and energy and puts information I want to showcase to my customers on every page.

OVERRIDE YAHOO STORE VARIABLES!

Now here is the cool part. Did you know you can override that variable on ANY page in your site? Thats right! While in your store editor, you can browse to any page in your site and click the edit button, then click override variable, then choose final-text. (see images below)

Now after you do this, you will have a custom area at the bottom of the page you are editing where you can completely change the Final-text area for that one page only. By doing this, for example on the site we sell neon signs, I have a different Final-text for my home page than I do for all my other pages. This way I control exactly what I want and where I want it.

This method for overriding variables can be done with tons of other stuff to. As you can see by the picture above, you can override availability of certain items or change the thumbnail picture sizes. Play around with this feature. Its a great little option for Yahoo Store owners.
