5. Select Product Category #
Proper categorization helps customers find your products.
Category selection is singular. That is why there is a drop-down field to select a category.
This is the standard-setting. Because according to Google Guidelines and other SEO and best practices, it is recommended to have only one category assigned to a product.
Vendors need to select the category from the drop-down.
Categories: Choose the most relevant categories for your product from the provided list (e.g., “Health & Beauty,” “Handmade Goods”).
6. Create Product Tags #
Vendors will be able to choose existing product tags or create new product tags from the store dashboard.
Under the Tags field, start typing a tag and Press Enter. The word or phrase will be added as a separate tag.
Tags: Select 2-3 appropriate tags that describe your product (e.g., “organic,” “vegan,” “gift”).
Product Type – Simple Product #
These types of products are simple and have no variants. They are single and standalone products, which does not require any other information to define different variants.
Product Type – Variable Product #
A variable product is a type of e-commerce product that offers different variations or options to customers, such as size, color, or material.
Instead of creating separate product listings for each variation, a single variable product can encompass all these options on one product page.
Product Add-Ons – How To Add Options #
A variable product is a product that has different types of variants.
For example, you might want to sell a t-shirt that is available in 3 different colors and sizes.
So this option will enable you to add the variations you need.
Example: Two Product Options
Size: Small, Medium, Large
Color: Red, White, Blue
You can add variations based on anything you like.
Choose the following to display options like our sample above.
Type: Multiple Choice
Display As: Dropdown
Format Title: Label
Click the Add Options button to apply changes or Remove button to discard changes.
Also, you can charge an optional fee for additional add-ons. See images below.
