Add A Product

Add A Product, from The EDM Guide to Shopify. This covers all 12 sections, in about 2 minutes.

This is the Shopify admin. Every task starts here.

Click Products in the sidebar.

Click Add product to open a blank product form.

Type the title. This is what customers see and search for.

The description sells the product. It takes formatting, images and tables.

Media holds the product's images, videos and 3D models.

Category sets tax treatment and suggests the right product fields.

Set the price here. Compare-at, unit price, tax and cost per item sit alongside.

Inventory tracks stock per location, and holds SKU and barcode.

Shipping records weight and package size, which Shopify uses to calculate accurate rates.

Variants add options such as size or colour, each with its own price and stock.

Purchase options add subscriptions, preorders and try-before-you-buy, with no separate app needed for the basics.

Metafields add extra structured fields, defined once and reused across products.

Search engine listing controls how the product's title and description appear in Google search results.

Status controls whether the product is live. Keep it Draft while you work.

Publishing controls which sales channels this product is available on.

Product organisation sets the type, vendor, collections and tags that filters, discounts and navigation use later.

Theme template lets a product use a different page layout than the rest of your store.

That covers every section on the page. Click Save at the top when you are ready to publish.
