Product Form — Basic Information
The form where you enter product information. The information is divided into sections called "cards". This document explains the structure of the form…
Where to find: Product List → Add Product (new) or a product's Edit option Who it's for: Anyone who adds a new product or edits an existing one In short: The form where you enter product information. The information is divided into sections called "cards". This document explains the structure of the form and the first cards.
How does the form work?
The product form is a single long page. The information is divided into cards (boxes): one card for general information, another for images, another for price... You fill in the cards from top to bottom.
Important: Which cards appear depends on the product type you select at the top. For example, if you select "Variant Product", the Inventory and Pricing cards disappear (because this information is now entered separately for each variant).
Which card appears in which type?
| Card | Simple | Variant | Bundle |
|---|---|---|---|
| General Information | |||
| Category, Brand & Tag | |||

Tip: If you can't see a card, don't panic — most likely that card doesn't exist for the product type you selected. When you change the type, the cards change too.
Saving
After filling in all the required fields, press the Save button at the end of the form. If a field is missing or incorrect, a red warning appears under that field and the page takes you to it.
Card 1 — General Information
This card contains the product's identity information. It's the first place filled in for every product.
Product Type
- What it does: You select which type the product is. This choice shapes the rest of the form.
- Options:
- Simple Product (Single type): A standard, single-form product. "Standard e-commerce product; includes stock, price, and functions."
- Variant Product (Size, Color, etc.): For products with options.
- Bundle Product (Multiple products): To sell multiple products in a single bundle.
- Default: Simple Product.
If you can't decide which one to choose, see the "Three product types" section in Products — Overview.
Product Name (required)
- What it does: The product's full name. This appears both on the store storefront and in search results.
- Example wording: Blue Cotton T-shirt Women
- Rule: At least 2, at most 500 characters.
- Side feature: The AI button next to the field can generate name suggestions for the product (based on the category and short description).
Tip — A good product name: It should contain the words the customer will search for. A descriptive name like "Women's Crew Neck Cotton T-shirt" is found more often than just "T-shirt".
URL Path (Slug)
- What it does: The last part of the product page's web address. E.g. the
blue-cotton-tshirtpart of the addressyourstore.com/product/blue-cotton-tshirt. - It's automatic: It's created automatically as you type the product name; you don't deal with it.
- If you want to change it manually: Press the Edit button next to it and type the address you want. If you change your mind, choose Close; it's regenerated from the product name.
- Rule: Can't contain spaces (words are joined with
-), must be unique (if another product uses the same address, you'll be warned).
Warning: Changing the slug after the product is published can cause the links you've given to the old address to break. If possible, set it correctly from the start.
Short Description
- What it does: A one or two sentence introduction that appears just below the product name. It helps the customer understand the product quickly.
- Example: Quality cotton fabric, comfortable cut, many color options.
- Rule: At most 100 characters. Not required.
- Side feature: The AI button next to it can suggest a few different short descriptions.
Status (in Simple product)
Determines whether the product is visible to customers:
| Option | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Live | The product is visible in the store and can be bought. |
| Hidden | The product is not listed in the store; but it can be opened directly via its link. |
| Draft | The product appears only in the admin panel; customers can't see it in any way. |
Tip: Make a product a Draft while it's not yet ready for sale; when it's done, switch it to Live.
Delivery Type (in Simple product)
Determines how the product will be delivered:
| Option | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Physical Product | A tangible product that needs to be shipped (t-shirt, book...). The Delivery Regions card opens accordingly. |
| Digital Product | A downloaded product (PDF, e-book, software...). There's no shipping; instead you select the file to be given to the customer. |
If you select Digital Product, a file selector appears next to it; from here you select the digital file you previously uploaded to the gallery.
Card 2 — Category, Brand & Tag
This card determines how the product is grouped and found in the store. "By selecting a brand and tag, you help your customers find the product easily."
Categories (required — at least 1)
- What it does: Which category(ies) the product will be listed in. E.g. "Clothing > T-shirts". Customers find the product by browsing categories.
- How to select: Check the ones you want from the tree structure that opens (parent category → subcategory). You can select more than one category.
- Rule: Selecting at least one category is required. If you don't select one, the warning "You must select at least one category." appears.
- Side feature: The Suggest Categories AI button; based on the product name and description, it suggests suitable categories and may even offer to create a new category.
Brand
- What it does: The product's brand. Used in search and filters.
- How to select: Select one or more brands from the list. Not required.
Tags
- What it does: Small notes/tags you stick on the product. E.g. "New", "Best Seller", "On Sale". They help customers filter products.
- How to select: Select one or more tags from the list. Not required.
Google Category
- What it does: The product's equivalent in Google's category system, for compatibility with services like Google Shopping.
- How to select: Select the suitable Google category from the list. Not required; but if you'll use Google ads/marketplace integration, filling it in is recommended.
Card 3 — Description
- What it does: The detailed description shown to the customer on the product page. Unlike the Short Description, here you can write at length and add images and links.
- Type: A rich text editor — that is, like a mini Word. You can make text bold, italic, headings; and add lists, tables, links, and images.
- Not required, but a full description increases sales.
Tip — A good description includes these: the product's material/features, measurement/size information, care instructions, box contents, and details the customer might wonder about. Writing in bullet points makes it easier to read.
