Managing Products: the List, Bulk Actions and the Product Editor

Overview

Catalog → Products lists your products, a page at a time. Click a product to open its edit page. To add products, see Getting Started → Add your products (manual entry, CSV import or a connected store).

Putting a product on your store

Each product card on the list has Publish to store. It makes the product visible on every one of your storefronts, and the button then reads Live on store; click it again to hide the product from them. A product needs a price above zero first, and a storefront where you set the product's own price keeps that price.

It works on a store that is not live yet, so the product shows in your store preview straight away (see Going live). Shoppers see it once the store itself is live.

Changing many products at once

Tick the box on a product's photo, or Select all on this page, and a bar appears above the list:

• Status — set the selection active, draft or archived. Products set active go through listing review first where they need it, exactly as one at a time.
• Price — change by a percentage (−20 is 20% off), by an amount, or set one price, with optional rounding (end in .99, .95, .00, or a whole amount). Each product's new price is worked out from its price now; a result below zero is held at zero and reported.
• Tags — add or remove tags.
• Collection — add to or remove from a collection you manage by hand. (Smart collections are decided by their rules.)
• Social channels — where the products may be posted: your store's networks, only the ones you pick, or never.
• Product feeds — which shopping feeds they appear in: every feed you have on, only the ones you pick, or none.

Up to 500 products at a time. If some did not change, the bar lists which and why; the rest are changed.

The product editor

The edit page is in sections; the menu on the left jumps between them. Most are self-explanatory (basics, pricing, variants, inventory and shipping, description, SEO, specifications). A few worth knowing:

• Open in store (top right) opens the product's real page in your store. If your store is not live yet, it opens as a private preview. It also tells you if a shopper would not see the product yet, and why — it is waiting for review, hidden on that store, or has no price there. Quick preview shows a quick look inside the dashboard without opening your store.
• Image studio — the palette button on any product photo opens it: remove backgrounds, watermark, brand and campaign versions, infographics, platform sizes, social posts and video ads. See Image Studio.
• Marketing assets — everything the image studio made for this product, kept here after the studio closes: open it, copy its link, add it to the product photos, or take it off the list.
• Social — where this product may be posted, and a quick composer to post it now. See Social Media.
• Marketplace identifiers → Product feeds — which shopping feeds this product appears in. See Product Feeds.
• Translations — the product's name, description and web address in each language your store sells in.

Nothing is saved until you press Save changes at the bottom of the page.
