Products

Create and manage different product types.

In the Products section, you can see the list of products, along with their images. They can be filtered by name, ID, and price, and can be displayed in ascending or descending order.

Products list view

You can manage the products view by using the options available under the orchestration icon.

With the table orchestration, you can add custom columns to the list view, by adding mixin fields as columns. If you have already defined mixin schema for the entity, you'd be able to select the defined mixin fields to display them in the main view.

See example how to do it in the Displaying mixins in entity list view documentation.

If you want to view the products by the way they are classified, you can open the category-tree view.

In this view, you can download a .csv file with products belonging to the catalog that is currently displayed in the list. Choose the download option to get the .csv file.

To remove your products, you can either delete single items from the list, or delete multiple items. To delete multiple items at once, select the chosen items and then click Batch Delete.

Using Management Dashboard, you can only delete up to 30 items at once. 30 is the maximum number of items that can be displayed on one page.

Creating a new product

1. To add a new product to your database, go to Products -> Products and choose Add new product. You can choose which product type you want to create:

   • Basic - for standard single product creation.

   • Bundle - for sets of products sold together.

   • Variant - for different types of the same products. Variant products share the same attributes as their parent product but can differ in size, color or other specifications.

2. To create a Basic product, start with the General tab and provide all the mandatory data that is needed to create a product. The mandatory fields are Name and Code.

• You can set up a custom product ID in the Id field. Otherwise, a unique ID is automatically generated when the product is created. The ID is used in other parts of the product's data configuration.

• To mark a product as weight-dependent, toggle the Weight-Dependent option ON. A product should be marked as weight-dependent if its final price may change after packaging, as this ensures that credit card payments can be properly authorized.

You can also choose a product template to add customized product attributes. If you choose a Product template, you can see the list of attributes available in the template and the available template versions.

Before proceeding to the next tabs, you have to choose Create to save the product details in the General tab. When you choose Create, the product is added and the product ID is automatically created.

The ID is needed in other parts of the product's data configuration.

For more information about templates, see Products Templates documentation.

1. Assign a category to your product by going to the Categories tab and selecting the chosen category from the drop-down list. You can select multiple categories for one product.

2. Choose a supplier, or multiple suppliers, that would be responsible for availability of your product by going to the Suppliers tab and selecting the supplier from the drop-down list.

For more information about suppliers, see Suppliers documentation.

1. Set your pricing for the product:

   • In the Prices tab, choose the tax configuration for the product: a country and a tax class related to the chosen country.

   • After saving the tax configuration, you can add a pricing model to a product. A pricing model defines a pricing strategy set up for a product together with the product units.

   • Additionally, you can define a discount associated with the product, choose the Discount Type:

     • percent - percentage that you want to lower the price by

     • amount - the exact amount that you want to lower the price by

For more information about pricing, see Pricing and Price Model guides.

1. Set the product's stock levels and distribution channel in the Availability tab. You can choose between three distribution channels:

   • Assortment

   • Home delivery

   • Pickup

The stock level is automatically updated with every order that is placed for the product.

1. Add images to your product by going to the Media tab and uploading new files.

   • Select the files, either by the Choose images icon or by using the drag and drop functionality

   • Upload the images using the Upload icon

   • If you decide not to upload the selected files, use the Clear icon to remove the selection

   
2. To connect your product to other products at your store, you can configure linking between the products in the Linked Products tab.

Linking products

Linking products to other products can facilitate selling matching accessories, related consumables, or items that your customers might also like to buy together.

In the Management Dashboard, there are Accessory and Consumable types out-of-the-box. You can define a custom type for linking products together through Configuration Service API. To learn how to define custom types, see Creating Client Configuration.
