Product details

Product details

The information you provide about a product influences how it is shown to customers, helps you organize your products, and helps customers find the product. However, you do not need to provide every detail for each product.

Title and description

Title: Product Name

Description: The description of your product. It should be informative and persuasive. If you are a business owner, you can use this section to describe your products and services in detail.

Media

Visual aids such as images, and videos help customers visualize what a product looks like. You can add media from your device's storage, from the file manager, or by providing a URL.

Price

  • Price - The price that you're charging for the product. You can set the currency on the Settings > Languages & Regions page. 

  • Sale Price - The original price for a product that is on sale. When you enter a sale price, the product displays the sale price.

  • List Price - List price is the original price of an item as set by the manufacturer or seller. It is often used as a reference point for comparison shopping. The list price may be higher or lower than the actual selling price, depending on factors such as discounts, promotions, and haggling.

Inventory

  • Quantity on Hand - The number of products on warehouse or retail shelves, not including any items designated for completed sales (such as items waiting to be picked up by customers who made online purchases).

  • Available - The number of units in stock. If you are managing your inventory across multiple locations, then the quantity is displayed for each location.

  • Committed - The number of units that are part of an order but aren't yet fulfilled. Inventory units that are part of draft orders aren't counted as committed until the draft order becomes an order.

Shipping

  • Weight - The product's actual weight.

Variants

For a product that has variants, this section displays the options for the product, such as color and size.

Status

Product status determines whether a product is ready to be sold. Newly created products are set to Active by default, while duplicated products are set to Draft by default. The following statuses are available:

  • Active: The product details are complete and the product is ready to be sold.

  • Inactive: The product details are complete, but the product is no longer for sale. Inactive products are not visible to customers.

  • Draft: The product details need to be completed before it can be sold.


Product Identifier

  1. SKU (Stock Keeping Unit) - a code that identifies a product within your business. Each SKU needs to be unique for effective tracking and sales reporting.

  2. Barcode (ISBN, UPC, GTIN, etc.) - typically used by resellers. The identifier needs to be a new or existing Global Trade Item Number (GTIN). Some sales channels require a GTIN before a product can be published using the channel.
