Adding Products and Organizing Them with Categories

Adding a product

1. Go to Dashboard → Products → Add product.
2. Fill in a name, price, and at least one photo (required).
3. Optionally add a description, stock count, variants (sizes/colors), tax settings, and a category.
4. Set Status to Published to make it visible on your storefront right away, or Draft to save it for later without showing it to customers.

Creating categories

Categories are yours to name however makes sense for your store - "Shoes," "Bags," "Skincare," whatever fits.

1. Go to Dashboard → Products → Categories (button at the top of your Products page).
2. Type a category name and click Add category.
3. Rename or delete any category from the same page. Deleting a category doesn't delete its products - they just become uncategorized.

Assigning a product to a category

1. Open any product to edit it (Dashboard → Products → click a product, or Add product for a new one).
2. Under More details, pick a category from the dropdown.
3. Save.

Once a product has a category, it automatically:

• Shows a category badge on your storefront
• Appears under that category's filter pill on your storefront homepage
• Shows up in related products under other items in the same category

Bulk actions

From the Products list, you can select multiple products (checkboxes) to:

• Publish them all at once
• Update pricing in bulk (set a fixed price, or increase/decrease by a percentage or amount)
• Delete them all at once

Importing products from a spreadsheet

If you have a lot of products to add at once:

1. Go to Dashboard → Products → Import CSV.
2. Download the template to see the expected columns (name, price, stock, category, description).
3. Fill it in and upload it.

Imported products are created as drafts (since they have no photos yet) - open each one, add a photo, and publish it when ready. If you use a category name that doesn't exist yet, it's created automatically.
