A product is a single item in your catalog. This page covers every field and the practices that keep your data clean enough to sync to every channel.
Creating a product
- Open the catalog — go to Catalog → Products and click New product.
- Enter core details — fill in the required fields below, then save.
- Publish — set the product’s status to active so it’s eligible to list.
Field reference
| Field | Required | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Title | Yes | The product name shoppers see. |
| SKU | Yes | Your internal identifier. Must be unique and stable. |
| Price | Yes | The base price. Channels can override per-listing. |
| Quantity | Yes | On-hand inventory. Syncs to channels to prevent overselling. |
| Brand | No | Links to a brand. |
| Category | No | Links to a category. |
| Attributes | No | Structured properties — see Attributes. |
| Media | No | Images and video. Most channels require at least one image. |
⚠️ Warning: Never recycle a SKU. Once a SKU is mapped to a listing and has order history, changing or reusing it breaks inventory sync. Retire discontinued SKUs instead.
SKUs done right
- Use a consistent pattern (e.g.
BRAND-MODEL-VARIANT). - Keep them human-readable so they’re easy to scan on a packing slip.
- One SKU = one physical item. Use variants for size/color.
