Products and variations
Add and edit products, their photos, texts, categories and variations; bulk actions and quick price changes in the list.
Add a product
Choose Add a product in the Catalogue. The editor only has the fields a showroom needs, in tabs (the tab you were on stays open after saving):
- Details: name, SKU (optional), whether it is on the site, and Featured. The address is made from the name; the code in it never changes, so shared links keep working when you rename a product. Below: a short description next to the photos, a longer one below them, and a table of specifications (Width: 220 cm).
- Photos: choose Add photos to pick from your media library or upload new ones. The first photo (blue edge) is the main photo. Use the arrows to change the order. Tick Hover on the photo shown when a visitor points at the product in a grid (by default the second photo). Square photos look best.
- Price and stock: see prices and seasons. The stock line is free text such as "In stock" or "Delivery in 4-6 weeks". A product with variations has no such tab: its prices are in the Variations tab.
- Categories and filters: tick every category the product belongs to (open a category with its arrow to see the ones under it), and the values visitors filter on, such as its colour. A long list has a search box.
- Variations: see below.
- More: related products, the page "Contact us about this product" goes to, and the title and description in Google.
When something is not saved, the editor opens the tab with the problem.
The status decides who sees it:
| Status | On your site |
|---|---|
| Draft | Not shown |
| Published | In grids, categories and search |
| Hidden | Only for people with the link |
Variations
A sofa in two woods and two widths is one product with variations. First add the attributes (Wood, Width) and their values under Attributes. Then, in the product's Variations tab:
- What does it come in? Tick the attributes the visitor chooses from (Wood, Width).
- Which ones? Tick the values the product comes in. They are ticked as filters too.
- Choose Make the variations: one for every combination. Remove the ones you don't sell.
A product with variations opens with the Variations tab second. Every variation is a card with its photo (or colour), name, SKU and today's price, and Hidden when it is not on the site. Open a card to change its name, SKU, prices, stock line and photos. Empty fields show the product's value in grey: that is what the visitor gets. When a visitor picks a variation, its photos are shown.
Below the cards, For all variations has the sale dates and the price note, which count for every variation, and the prices and stock for variations that leave theirs empty. Add more variations makes the combinations you don't have yet; the ones you have stay as they are.
Values you tick without making variations are used for the filters only.
The products list
- Search on name and SKU, filter by category (with its subcategories) or status, and sort.
- Prices: change the regular, sale and seasonal price right in the list. Press Enter to save.
- Bulk actions: tick products, then publish, hide, set to draft, mark as featured, add to or move to a category, set or remove the seasonal price, or delete them.
Duplicate in the editor makes a draft copy with the same categories and variations, without the SKUs.
