  4. The Edit Product screen will display, allowing you to make your changes

  5. Click Save Changes

Adding A New Product

When you are ready to add a product to your shop, you can add it in one of two ways. You can either add the product directly to the Shop. Or you can add a category first and then add the product to the category.

1. Select Shop from the top menu and then scroll down to the Products in this category section at the bottom. This will add the product directly to the Shop.

2. Click the Add Product button

The following options will then appear:

  • Categories - This indicates which Shop category your product belongs to. This will appear as SHOP > SHOP CATEGORY

  • SKU – This is your Stock-Keeping Unit and is a unique number used to identify each different product available in your Shop

  • Title – The title of your product goes here

  • Short Description – This description will appear on your Category page and should be a small snippet of information about your product

  • Long Description – This is your main product description, which will appear on your Product Page. This is the location to add all the specific details about your product.

  • Price – The product price

  • Trade Price – This is what the product cost for you to buy/make. This is for your records only and the customer cannot see this

  • Weight – The weight of the product. This option can be used if you are setting up your postage costs by weight, or if you'd just like to keep a record of the product's weight

  • Visible On Site? - If your product is not ready to go onto your live Shop just yet you can always hide it or publish it to your site straight away

       5. Select Save Product

Your product will then appear in your chosen Shop Category
