This article walks you through the Products page: how it is arranged, how to find one product, and what you can do to it from the list.
Come here whenever you want to check a price, hide something, or see how close you are to your plan limit.
Before you start
The Add Product button only appears for an account that can create products, and the bin only for an account that can delete them.
Your plan may set how many products you can publish.
Step 1. Open Products
Pick Products from the side menu. With no filter on, the list is grouped the way your shop is arranged: each category is a heading, its sub categories sit under it, and anything without a category lands under Uncategorized.
If you have drafts, a Show Drafts button at the top shows how many. Press it to see only drafts, and All Products to go back.
The Products page opens grouped the way your shop is arranged.
Step 2. Find one product
The search box looks in the name, the SKU and the barcode. Beside it, the status list narrows to Active, Inactive, Draft or Low Stock.
If your shop sells more than one type of product, cards under the search let you show one type at a time. The pills filter by category, and the Featured pill shows only what you have starred.
The search box looks in the name, the SKU and the barcode; the list beside it narrows by status.
Step 3. Read a row
Each row carries the product with its SKU and REF codes, its category, its price, and its stock. A low count turns red with a warning triangle.
If the goods carry an expiry date, a small Expiring or Expired badge sits under the stock number. Once your store and the product are both live, a small link beside the name (View in store) opens the product's page in your shop in a new tab.
One row: the product, its category and type, its price and its stock.
Step 4. Switch a product on or off
The switch in the Status column publishes or hides a product straight from the list, without opening it.
Sometimes the category follows: switching off the last active product in a category switches that category off too, and switching on a product in a switched off category brings the category back. The message tells you when that happened.
The switch in the Status column publishes or hides a product without opening it.
Step 5. Star, edit or delete
The star marks a product as featured, so it shows in the featured section of your shop. The pencil opens the full form. The bin asks you to confirm, and the deletion cannot be undone.
To publish several drafts at once, tick their boxes and press Publish selected. If some of them still miss a field, a window titled Some products still need a field lists what each one needs.
The star features a product, the pencil opens the full form, and the bin asks you to confirm.
Step 6. Work with your categories from here
On a category heading you get the same switch, two arrows (Move up and Move down) to move the category, and a pencil (Edit category) that takes you to the Categories page.
Switching a category off asks you to confirm first, because the category and its products are hidden from the shop.
On a category heading you get the same switch, two arrows to move it, and a pencil.
Step 7. Watch your plan limit
Three cards sit at the top of the page. Published products shows what you have published out of what your plan allows, with how many more you can publish. Drafts says Not counted in your plan, and Inactive counts the products that are Published but hidden from your store.
Once you reach the limit, a banner says You have published as many products as your plan allows. Drafts don't count, so you can keep adding and saving them. Upgrade your plan to publish more. Press Upgrade Now on it to choose a bigger plan. Add Product still works, and you can edit, hide and delete as usual.
Hint: the small badge beside Add Product, such as 12 / 25, shows the same count. If you see no badge, your plan has no product limit.
Published products counts what you have published out of what your plan allows. The badge beside Add Product shows the same count.
Result
You can reach any product in a couple of seconds, read its price, stock and expiry without opening it, and publish or hide it from the list. The grid button beside the search shows the same list as picture cards, if you prefer to see your shelves by eye.
