Add a product to your shop

Add something to sell in your shop, with photos, options, shipping and stock.

Products are the things you sell from your shop: candles, books, oils, recordings, gift items. A product can also be offered as an add-on when someone signs up for a gathering.

Steps

  1. Open Selling > Products and click New product.
  2. Enter a Name, choose a Type (physical, digital or service) and set the Price.
  3. Add a Description, then click Add photo to add up to 8 photos. The first photo is the cover in your shop.
  4. Optional: under Options (variants), click Add option group for choices like size or color. Type the group name and its choices, for example Size with Small, Medium, Large. Tag a photo with an option and it shows when a buyer picks that option.
  5. For a physical product, set up shipping:
    • Add the weight and size under Package details to show live carrier rates. This needs EasyShip connected under Settings > Shipping.
    • Or set a Flat shipping fee, which is charged when live rates aren’t available. Enter 0 for free shipping.
  6. Switch on Charge sales tax to use your default rate from Settings > Tax.
  7. Optional: switch on Track inventory and enter how many you have On hand, plus a Low-stock alert at number.
  8. Leave Active and Show on public shop on, then click Create product.
