Adding a New Product

1. Log in using Admin credentials.

2. After you signed in, click Dashboard.

3. Click Catalogue and select Products.

   
   
   

4. You will be then directed to Product Management page. Go to Create New Product section and choose one product type. If there is none, follow the guideline in creating new product type, see Adding a new Product Type.

   
   
   

5. After selecting product type, click New Product button.

6. You'll be directed to new page then, at Product Details section, fill in all the required fields:

   • UPC- or Universal Product Code, this is very useful in creating barcode symbol.
   • Parent- applies to product that has various versions (i.e. sizes)
   • Title- name of product.
   • Description- refers to product description. This is the right venue to describe product origin, materials used to build the product, what inspires the designer to create such product and alike statements. Important Note: Refrain from copy pasting from web straight to this section, this results to rendering of style copied from online. To avoid this, paste your copied words to a text editor tool first, for Mac users use TextEdit. From a text editor tool, copy the words and then you may now paste it on this section.
   • Is Discountable?- this means you're allowing your product to participate on promotions that the site has to offer. If you think this applies to your product then toggle this option.
   • Is Item one of a kind?- this applies to rare products with limited quantity like collector's item. When you toggle this one, quantity display on product page will be then removed.
   • Item Number- unique numerical identifier of product.
   • Width, Depth, Height and Weight- displays the dimension and weight of the product.
   • Disabled- this enables you to make your product inactive, applies to old product with least demand from market. The effect of this option is that it will hide your product on main site, just hidden not deleted. Under Dashboard menu, Catalogue then Products, a new tab named Disabled Products will be added to make room for this type of product.
   • Priority- this is the section where you can manage the order of your products. Most likely, this applies to Veritas Greeting Cards. Currently it was set by default to alphabetical order but you may manually arrange the orders of it through this option. As what the guide says, products are displayed by priority--a higher number giving higher priority. For example, you have 3 products namely: A, B and C. Currently, when this option isn't used or with 0 value, page will automatically display the said 3 products in alphabetical order but you may display these 3 in reverse order (C B A instead of A B C) if you want to. To do so, set the priority of C to 3, B to 2 and A to 1. The one with the higher number displays first while the least is placed lastly.
     
     

   

   Note - Copy pasting information to Product Description will result in the text styling being copied too. Please use plain text paste (CTRL+SHIFT+V using Windows or CMD+SHIFT+V using Mac) if pasting into the product description.

Updating the Details of an Existing Product Variant

During the creation of product variants, each entered options has its own section or page where you can modify the attributes if needed. This is the same page that you will encounter in Adding a New Product but with few additions. Let me guide you thoroughly, steps are as follows:

1. First, log in using admin credential.
   
   

2. Click Dashboard, Catalogue and select Products.
   
   

3. From the Products table, select the parent product of option that needs an update. That can be a price change, update of posted image and the like. Click its Actions button and select Edit. As an example, I will try to edit the Logo Lounge Chair.

   
   
   

4. You are now facing the sections of parent product or of Logo Lounge Chair. Intended change to certain variant shouldn't performed here but on its separate section.

   Now click Product Variants section. This sections displays the variants added on parent product. Logo Lounge Chair has two child products (jawline-walnut & jawline-charcoal), just like what shown here:

   
   
   

5. As what I have mentioned on intro, variants present on parent product has its own page with sections as well. Now, let us try to get there. From the list, select one child product and click Edit. Let's edit the image and price of second child product (fabric: jawline; finish: charcoal).

   On Product Attributes section, you'll see the attribute description of selected variant.

   
   
   

   On Product Images section, the best photo that you should upload here is the end product of mixed options from different option group (i.e. a chair with a jawline fabric and charcoal finish).

   
   
   

   On Product Stock section, you may freely update the price of a variant whenever you want.

   
   
   

   
   
   

   Now, let me show you how those updated information displayed on main site. At first glimpse, with no clicked thumbnails or options yet, here's what the Logo Lounge Chair product page looks like. Prices of both options are displayed in a price range manner, displayed item number is from the parent product and images are all displayed as well. Note: Image of parent product is always displayed no matter what.

   
   
   

   Let us now select each of the available options. Let's click the fabric Jawline and the finish Walnut. Observe what changed on product page. Displayed price, image and item number is the selected option only while thumbnail of unselected option greyed out.

   
   
   

   Same goes with fabric Jawline and finish Charcoal when selected.
