Edit Product Info

You can use the + or - next to each section to show or hide the individual sections (Product Information, Shipping Information, Ordering Options, and Product Pages) or show or hide all sections. After selecting one or more products from the list of products in your store, click the Edit Product Info button to change the product's attributes. You can edit the following fields:

Product Name
This is the name of the product that will appear wherever the product is displayed, and also the name of the product used in the Back Office. You must enter a unique name for the product, although you may toggle whether or not to display the name to customers.
Price
Enter the regular price the product will sell for (in your primary currency). This price will be used in calculating the order total, unless you have the product on sale or if the customer qualifies for quantity pricing. You can toggle whether or not the price is displayed on Store Pages and Product More Info Pages.
Doba Product Information

Read-only. If this product was imported from a Doba watch list, this field will contain product information provided by Doba. The field is empty if this is not a doba product.

Item ID The Doba product ID. This is used to correlate your product with the product on your Doba watch list. You can use the Merchant Search feature to search for a Doba Item Number.
Watch List ID The Doba watch list ID. This is used to track which Doba watch list this product is associated with. You can use the Merchant Search feature to search for a Doba Watch List number. One way to take advantage of this feature is to create categorical watch lists, then assign all products from a specific watch list to a single page.
Stock Indicates whether the product is in-stock or not. If a product is out of stock, you may want to temporarily remove the item from your store.
MSRP Indicates the Manufacturer Suggested Retail Price for the product. ShopSite automatically sets this as the Price of the product when you import the product into your store.
Whole Sale Price Indicates the standard wholesale price you will be required to pay to Doba when someone orders the product through your store.
Pre Pay Price Indicates the PrePay price that will be deducted from your PrePay account, if you have one. Merchants who set up a PrePay account save 3% of the standard wholesale price on products.
Ship Cost Indicates the direct shipping cost for the product. This cost will automatically be calculated as the product's Direct Ship cost in the customer's shopping cart, unless the product qualifies for free shipping.
Drop Ship Fee Indicates the drop shipping fee charged by the supplier. This fee is not automatically calculated in the cart. The drop ship fee is charged once per order, regardless of the number of products, for each supplier who will be shipping a product. You may choose to add a per-product or per-order handling charge to offset the drop ship fee.
Minimum Advertised Price Indicates the minimum price you may charge for this product. Selling or listing a product for below the MAP can result in suspension of your Doba account.
Supplier Indicates the name of the supplier which will ship the product. Products from different suppliers will ship separately from different locations. Each supplier may also have different policies regarding such things as shipping restrictions, return policies, and drop ship fees. You should look at the Supplier Notes accopanying each product for details.
Supplier Notes Policy or information statement provided by the supplier. This may contain information such as shipping restrictions, return and warranty policies. You will need to ensure that customers are aware of, or that your store policies are in compliance with, any restrictions or regulations included in this section.
Last Updated Indicates the last time the supplier provided updated information about this product to Doba.
Note:

If you have already imported a Doba product into ShopSite, the Doba Last Updated time will be checked the next time the product is imported. If Doba has updated any product information, the product will be updated in ShopSite as well. Any product fields with information provided by Doba (see the list below) will be set to the Doba-supplied value. This includes the product price.

When you import or update a Doba product into your store, the following fields will also be updated with information provided by Doba or the supplier:

  • Product Name
  • Price
  • SKU
  • Product Image
  • MoreInfoPage Image
  • Product Description
  • MoreInfoPage Description
  • Weight
  • Brand
Taxable
Leave this box checked to have ShopSite calculate sales tax for this product. If you un-check the box, this product will not be included in sales tax calculations, regardless of any other settings. You can set the tax rates in the Commerce Setup > Sales Tax section.
Tax Code
When using AvaTax, select the tax code that is applicable to this product. You can set which tax codes are available for products in the Commerce Setup > Sales Tax > AvaTax section.
SKU
The Stock Keeping Unit or SKU is a code used to identify billable items. If you have a SKU system, or any other tracking system (UPC, EAN, ISBN, etc.), you can enter the code in this field. The SKU does not appear on pages by default (although there is a toggle to enable that, if you want), but is included in the order information so you can use it for fulfillment.
Product Image
This is the image that will appear next to or above the product information (the arrangement depends on which product template you choose). See the Image Tool help for more information on selecting an image.
Product Description
You can use this field to provide customers with important information about your product. Enter a brief descriptive summary including highlights about the product, and be sure to mention any significant features your customers will want to know about. You may want to include HTML content (such as a key feature list) to improve the presentation of the information. It is usually a good idea to keep the Product Description relatively short so it doesn't take up too much of the page. You can use a More Info Page to provide a more extensive description of the product.

This field supports use of the HTML Editor.

Shipping Information

Weight
If you are using weight-based shipping (including UPS or FedEx), you must enter the weight for your product here so ShopSite can calculate shipping costs. Do not specify a unit of measurement (pounds, ounces, kilograms, etc.), but use the same unit of measurement for all products in your store.

Ordering Options

The Ordering Options fields allow you to provide your customers with variations or customization of your products using pull-down menus, a text-box, or both. The pull-down menus can be used to select variations (such as different colors or sizes) of a single product, and the text-box allows the customer to provide special information (such as a monogram or a message). See the Ordering Options Help for detailed instructions and examples of how to use these fields, including modifying the product price based on menu selections.

Order Options Description
This field allows you to provide a description or instructions for the ordering options pull-down menus. It is displayed directly above the pull-down menus.
Pull-down Menus
Enter each menu option on a separate line. Leave a blank line to start a new pull-down menu. See the Ordering Options Help for a detailed explanation and examples of how to use this field. Ordering options are displayed with the product in the Shopping Cart contents.
Customer Text Entry
Check this box to include a text-box with the Ordering Options. Customers will be able to enter text (such as initials for a monogram or a special message to be printed on the product) into this box. The text-box will be displayed with the product in the Shopping Cart contents.

Product Pages

Product Pages
Click on the Select button to open a new window that will allow you to select which Store Pages this product will be displayed on. The top box contains pages that will list this product. To remove a page from the list, select the page(s) and click the Delete button. The page will now be in the lower list, which contains all the pages that do not have this product on them. Select pages from the list and click Add to move the pages to the top list. When you are finished making changes, click on OK to save your changes, or click Cancel to close the window without saving your changes.
