How to add new products to your online store?

When you’re done setting up your store, you’re ready to add products. There are three ways to create new products:

1. through the product management view
   
2. through the ‘Products’ content area

Add a product through the product management view

To get to the product management view, go to Store > Products. Here you can see all your existing products.


To add a new product, click on the Add new product button and fill out the following fields:

• Name – product name displayed in store.
• Description – product description displayed on product page.
• Categories – assign your product into one or several categories.
• Status – if you wish to hide the product, you can use the status Draft.
• URL slug – insert the name that the automatically generated product page URL uses; for example if you write “shoe”, then the product page URL is mystore.com/en/products/shoe
• Gallery – add a product image to the product. If you wish, you can add more than one product image to the product. Please note that the first image is always set as the main image of the product - it is displayed first in the product list view and the product detail view. You can change the order of the given pictures at any time. To change the order, grab the picture whose order you want to change and drag it between the pictures to the place where you want to display it. Important: you can make changes to the product image in the Edit product view. In order for the changes to the product image to take effect, it is always necessary to press the Save button in the Edit product view. You can also view the product images in a larger size by clicking on the image in the product detail view - with this click, the gallery opens in full screen.

Creating a duplicate of an existing product

Both in the product list and in the product detail view, it is possible to duplicate an existing product with all data, i.e. create a copy of it.

• Creating a copy of a product in the product detail view 

Select Store > Products from the bottom toolbar and click on the product you want to create a copy of. If you are in the product detail view, click on the three dots on the top right. In the menu that opens, select Duplicate. This action creates a copy of the product with all data including variations, prices, and SKUs.

• Creating a copy of a product in the product list view

Select Store > Products from the bottom toolbar and click the three dots at the end of the product row. A menu will open where you select Duplicate. During the copy, a new product is created with all data, including variations in prices, SKUs, etc.

Please note that when duplicating a product, the inventory and number of reserved products are not transferred to the new product. These data must be entered manually separately.

Categories

If your products are divided into more than one category, you should assign a category to each product. To do this, enter the category title, such as "Furniture", in the Category field.

Once the products are added, you can use the Products content area to display your products, either displaying all or selecting specific categories. This guide provides a comprehensive explanation on how to add the Products content area and how to filter desired categories.

Add a product through the ‘Products’ content area

You can also do all this in a different order and add a Products content area first. The Products content area comes with a +Product button which enables you to add new products easily. This way a new product is created in your store and is automatically assigned in those categories that have been selected in this particular Products content area.
