The product form looks long, but most of it is optional. Only four things stop you from saving: a name, a category, a price, and a SKU. Ignore the rest until your first product is live.
Step by step
- Open the products page. In the left sidebar, click Products. Then click the New Product button at the top right.
- Name the product. Type the Product Name exactly as a customer would say it — for example "Romoss 30000mAh Power Bank", not "item 4".
- Pick a category. Choose a Category from the dropdown. If yours is not there, use the + New Category link inside the same dropdown.
- Enter price and stock. Put the selling price in Price (PKR) and how many you have in Stock Qty. Stock 0 means the product shows as out of stock.
- Generate the SKU. Click the Auto button next to SKU. This is just an internal code so you can tell products apart — customers never see it.
- Add photos. Drag up to 8 images into the image box. Drag them to reorder, and click the star on one to make it the main photo. Daylight photos on a plain background work best.
- Check the status. In Settings, make sure Status is Active. Draft and Archived are both hidden from customers.
- Save. Press Save. Open your store link and the product should be there straight away.
Fields worth adding later
Once the product is live, reopening it unlocks a few things that genuinely help sales:
- Short description — the one or two lines shown in search results. Around 160 characters is right.
- Alt text on each image — a short description of what is in the picture. It helps your products appear in Google Image search.
- Specifications — rows like Brand → Apple, Warranty → 1 Year. These also power the filter sidebar on your store.
- Variants — only if the product comes in sizes or colours. Each variant gets its own SKU, stock and price.
- Product Documents — manuals or warranty cards, up to 10 MB each. Customers get a Downloads tab.
Common questions
Why can't I save my product?
The "Can't save yet" message names the exact missing field. It is almost always a missing category, a price of 0, or an empty SKU — click the Auto button beside SKU to fill it. You may also have hit your plan's product limit; the Free plan allows 10 products.
Do I need photos to save a product?
No. Images are not required to save. But a product with no photo very rarely sells, so add at least one before you share your store.
How many products can I add on the free plan?
Ten. Beyond that you either archive products you are not selling or move to a paid plan. There is no commission on your sales on any plan.
What is the difference between a variant and a specification?
A variant is something the customer chooses and buys — size Medium, colour Red — and each one has its own stock and price. A specification is just information, like Warranty: 1 Year. Use variants only when the options are genuinely different items.
