Resources
Resources are outside, external assets that relate to Products and are typically embeddable references to something on the web in some shape or form.
Example Resource types*: Flickr, Imgur, Instagram, Slideshare, Tumblr, Vevo, Vimeo, Vine, YouTube. They could also be references to a PDF hosted on the Internet somewhere, or a URL to a Google Doc.
Room to grow
* Resources are not necessarily limited to any of these types. More Resource types could be added as time goes on.Resources are great for accompanying product detail page information on your website. It is our hope that you can utilize the resources we've gathered up and associated to Products to help sell the them via various sales channels. Resources are very versatile and can be used in a number of ways.
