Create Product

Menu Path: Catalog > Products > Create

Adding a new product involves providing all the essential details that your customers need to make a purchase decision. The creation screen is divided into logical sections.

Step 1: Basic Information​

This section forms the foundation of your product page.

  • Product Name: Enter a clear, descriptive title. This is the main <h1> tag on the frontend and is crucial for SEO.
  • Category: Select the appropriate category from the hierarchical tree. Proper categorization ensures customers can find the product via site navigation.
  • Brand: If applicable, link the product to an existing brand defined in the Relations > Brands module.
  • Short Description: A concise summary (usually 1-2 sentences) that appears near the top of the product page or in product cards.
  • Detailed Content (Description): Use the Rich Text Editor to provide comprehensive details, specifications, usage instructions, and embedded media.

Step 2: Inventory & Identification​

Proper identification is vital for warehouse management and order fulfillment.

  • SKU (Stock Keeping Unit): A unique alphanumeric code used internally to track inventory. This field is mandatory and must be unique.
  • Barcode (EAN/UPC): The standard retail barcode number. Useful for point-of-sale integrations and shipping logistics.
  • Initial Stock Quantity: Enter the number of items currently available for sale. If you track inventory dynamically, the system will deduct from this number upon successful orders.

High-quality visuals directly impact conversion rates.

  • Cover Image: The primary image shown in catalogs and search results.
  • Gallery Images: Upload additional photos showing different angles, close-ups, or lifestyle shots. You can drag and drop to reorder the images.
  • Video Link: (Optional) Provide a YouTube or Vimeo link to embed a product showcase video.

Step 4: Finalizing and Saving​

Once the core information is entered:

  1. Set the initial Status (Draft or Active).
  2. Click the "Create" or "Save" button at the bottom of the page.

Next Steps: Saving the basic product unlocks advanced configuration tabs. To set prices, add product variations (like size or color), and configure SEO, proceed to the Edit Product guide.
