In this article you will learn how to add a product to your online store.
Create products
Click on Products in the menu. All products that have already been created are displayed. Click on Add > Product.
Set up the following under Item number and Name, Visibility:
- Item number: Specify a unique number under which the product should be saved.
- Product visible in store: Select whether the product should be displayed in your online store.
- Product name: Specify the name under which the product should be displayed in your online store. If you do not enter a product name, the product will be displayed under the item number.
Set up the following under Description:
- Description: Describe the product briefly. The description informs the customer about product details. The description is also important so that the product can be found via searches in your online store and via search engines such as Google.
- Key features: Summarize the key features of the product, e.g. size, weight, color.
Set up the following under list price, order unit, tax class:
- List price (gross): Enter the (gross) price at which you are selling the product.
- Drop price: Set a drop price if required. The strike price can be the old product price or the manufacturer's RRP, for example.
- Tax class: Select the percentage of VAT included in the gross price.
- Order unit: Select the unit in which your customers can order the product.
If possible, set up the following under Manufacturer details:
- Manufacturer: enter the manufacturer of the product.
- Manufacturer product no.: Enter the manufacturer product number.
- Product code (e.g. EAN): Enter the product code. A product code can be, for example, the EAN code (machine-readable barcode) on the packaging.
Set up the following under Stock and delivery period:
- Stock level: Enter the current stock level for this product. This stock level of your MyShop is automatically updated when, for example, a product is ordered or you cancel an order (order status "Rejected", see Help Center article "Editing the status of orders"). If a product reaches stock level 0 during an order, only the available quantity is transferred to the shopping cart. Example: 4 pieces are ordered, but only 2 pieces are still available. Only the available 2 pieces are transferred to the shopping cart. If a product reaches stock level 0, a message always appears in your online store stating that this product is currently out of stock.
- Minimum stock level: Enter a minimum stock level. The minimum stock level is the value from which you should reorder the product. The minimum stock level should not be less than the minimum order quantity (see below). You can set the e-mail events so that you as the administrator are automatically informed by e-mail when the minimum stock level for the product has been reached (see Help Center article "Setting up e-mail events").
- Delivery period: Enter the period in which you will deliver the product after the purchase has been completed.
Set up the following under Extended quantity and price details:
Price refers to: Enter the quantity to which the price refers, e.g. 1 piece.
Minimum order quantity: Enter the minimum order quantity from which your customers can order the product.
Graduation: Enter a graduation for the orderable quantities. Example: With a scale of 2 and a minimum order quantity of 3, your customers can order the following quantities: 3, 5, 7, 9, 11, etc. If customers enter a different quantity, the quantity is automatically adjusted.
Reference unit and Included in product: Use these fields to define a reference price so that your customers can better compare prices of identical products with different quantities.Example: For a 0.75 liter bottle of wine, enter 1 liter under Reference unit. Under Included in product, enter 0.75. This will display the reference price for the bottle of wine in the online store.
Set up the following under Shipping details:
Shipping weight: Enter the shipping weight of the product.
Dimensions: Enter the size of the product to be shipped. This information is taken into account, for example, for shipping methods whose shipping costs depend on the weight of the products ordered (see Help Center article "Manage shipping in MyShop").
Keep the setting "Standard" under Attributes and click on Save to add the product to your online store.
