Adding and updating products
You can add products to your catalog one at a time or in bulk through import. Each product goes through a creation flow where you set the basic information, then you can refine details in the full product editor.
Creating a product
- Go to Products in the sidebar.
- Click Create Product. A slideover panel opens.
- Fill in the required fields:
Basic information
| Field | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Name | Yes | The product name shown to customers. Supports multiple languages — select the language you want to enter the name in. |
| Handle | No | The URL-friendly slug for this product. Auto-generated from the name (lowercased, spaces replaced with hyphens). You can edit it manually. |
| SKU | Yes | A unique stock keeping unit code. Must be unique across your entire catalog. |
Product type
Choose the type that matches your product:
- Simple — A standalone product without variants. Choose this for products sold in a single configuration.
- Bundle — A package product made up of multiple products. Choose this when you sell grouped items together.
- Variant — A product with variants such as size or color. Choose this when a single product comes in multiple options.
Settings
| Field | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Attribute template | Yes | Determines which attributes are available for this product. Select a template that matches the product category. |
| VAT group | Yes | The tax group applied to this product for price calculations. |
| Status | Yes | The initial status. Defaults to Draft. |
| Markets | No | Which markets this product should be available in. You can add markets later. |
Variant parent (variant type only)
If you selected the Variant type, you can optionally link this product to an existing parent product. This makes the new product a variant child that inherits attributes from the parent.
- Click Create Product.
After creation, you're redirected to the full product editor where you can add attributes, media, pricing, and more.
The product editor
The product editor is organized into tabs, each covering a specific aspect of the product:
| Tab | Purpose |
|---|---|
| Overview | Core product information — name, SKU, handle, attributes, status, type, categories, tags, and markets. |
| Variants | Manage variant axes and child variants (variant products only). |
| Assets | Upload and organize images, videos, and documents. |
| Warehouses | View and adjust stock levels across warehouses. |
| Prices | Set prices per market with multiple price types. |
| Integrations | View and manage sync status with external systems. |
| History | Review a changelog of all modifications to the product. |
| Storefront | View and update how the product appears in the storefront index. |

The overview tab has a two-column layout:
Left column:
