Create a product

Creating a product is a crucial step in managing your online store. It allows you to add new items to your catalog, define their features, prices, and images, and make them available for sale.

To create a new product:

• From your store's admin, go to Store → Products.
• Click Create.

• Enter the required information in the General section.

Title: Provide a unique and distinctive name for the product you wish to offer.
Subtitle (Optional): or short descriptions, are a great way to provide additional information about a product, whether to highlight its benefits, specific features, or ingredients.
ID (Optional): This is used to reference the product in your storefront, equivalent to the URL. If not specified, the ID will be generated from the product title.
To create the identifier, be sure to enter hyphens between words and avoid accents. For example, if your product title is Winter jacket, and you want to highlight its material, you could enter: winter-jacket-cotton-bio.
Description (Optional): Write a complete and detailed description of the product. This is an opportunity to explain its features, benefits, and any other relevant details.
Media (Optional): Upload high-quality images to showcase your product. Attractive images play a key role in customers' purchasing decisions. The current image format is square.

 

NOTE:
The current Media format is square. Please ensure sufficient margins around the product to maximize its display.

Even when the image isn't fully visible, the editor offers a click-to-zoom feature. Your customers can use this feature to view the details of your products.

• Click Continue.

Note:
If the image doesn't display when you upload it to your product, please follow the four steps below to correct the problem.

1. Upload your image.
2. Hover over the image that appears. A checkbox will appear in the upper right corner; select it.
3. Select the "Make Thumbnail" option that appears at the bottom.
