Products

Besides categories, products are the core of your product catalogue. After all, the goal of an online shop is to present and sell products effectively.

Assign a clear title and provide both short and long descriptions to highlight key product details. Add more attributes to describe your products precisely — such as dimensions, weight, or manufacturer data.

Upload high-quality product images showing the item from different angles. Good product photos help showcase the product and can influence the buying decision.

Use the Products section to learn how to create and manage products. This section explains all available configuration options and covers topics such as attributes, selection lists, variants, and multidimensional variants.

Manage products in the Admin panel under Administer Products ‣ Products. You will see the product list at the top and the input area below it.

In the product list, a small green circle with a check mark at the beginning of the line indicates that the product is active. This symbol is missing for inactive products. The list displays the product number, title, and short description.

Use the search fields or filters (e.g., category, product number, or attributes) to find specific products. For example, enter “13” in the Prod.No. field to see all products containing “13” in the product number.

Sort the product list by clicking the column headers — such as Active, Product Number, Title, or Short Description. The system will display products in ascending order.

To permanently delete a product from the database, click the trash icon at the end of the line. To temporarily remove a product from the shop (e.g., due to stock unavailability), simply set it to inactive. This way, you can reactivate the product later without re-creating it.

When you select a product in the list, the system loads its data into the input area. To add a new product, click Create New Product at the bottom of the screen.
