ShopSite Setup Wizard - Add a Product

Use this screen to add a product to your store. You only need to supply basic product information here. You can add and edit information later.

Name
Enter the name of the product as you want it to appear in your store. This name identifies the product to you and your customers, so it is required, and it must be unique.
Image
This is a picture, usually of the product, which will be included with the product name and description. You do not have to have an image, but it is definitely an advantage. To use an image do one of the following:
  • If you have not already uploaded an image, click Upload an Image to find the file on your local computer and upload it for use in your store.
  • If you have already uploaded the image you want to use, select it from the pull-down menu.
Price
Enter the regular price you will be selling the product for. You must enter a price for the product. Once your store is running, you will have the option to put products on sale.
Weight
If you plan to use weight-based shipping, enter the weight to use when calculating the shipping costs for this product. Do not include a weight symbol or abbreviation such as pounds or kilograms. You can leave this field blank if you will not be using weight-based shipping. ShopSite includes several ways to calculate shipping costs, which you will be able to set up later.
SKU
The Stock Keeping Unit or SKU (also called a Stock Code) is a code merchants can use to identify and track products. If you use any sort of stock code for inventory tracking or order fulfillment, you can put it here. By default, this is not displayed on your store pages, although there is an option to do so that you will be able to set later.
Description
Use this field to provide additional information about your product. You should try to include any key information your customers will consider important in learning about the product. You can enter as much text as you like, and you can use HTML tags to control the formatting.
