A product will either be single product with a single SKU, price etc. Or it will have several variants like size, color, material, logo, or any other kind of variation. Products with variations may have different SKUs, prices, images etc. so the forms will be different.
After adding the basic details to the product you’ll can choose whether the product uses variants. The screenshot below shows the form when the product is just a single product. For example, if you’re adding a mug, mouse mat, USB stick etc.
If you’re adding a product with variants then skip to the next section.
The form should be fairly self-explanatory but some fields might need a little more explanation:
- Main Image: This will be shown as the main image in search results and the first image on the product page.
- Back Ordering: If this is selected then customers can continue to order a product even if it is out of stock. Use this when you can simply get more stock if it runs out.
- Weight: Please make sure the weight is entered (in grams, not kg), because it is used to calculate postage.
- Supplier and Supplier product: The supplier product is the one you actually buy from the supplier. So for example if they sell a product called the “Lightweight T-shirt” and that product has been used to create the one you’re selling then choose it here. If you haven’t entered the supplier details then you can link this afterwards.
- Cost price: This can be automatically copied from the details of the supplier product above if it has been entered.
- Size Chart: You can create different size charts for different fits (e.g. different charts for men and women, different suppliers etc. If you haven’t added the size chart yet you can add it later and come back here to link it.
- Featured on Homepage: This only applies to product being sold on stores that have featured product on the homepage. At the moment The Ormuz has this function but this won’t work on HighJinx.
- Status: If “On Sale” is not checked then the product won’t appear on the website. If the product uses variants then each variant can be taken off sale separately but the main product (or parent product) needs to be set to on sale.
If you’re not using variants then you can skip the next section and go straight to the section about adding images.
