Start by clicking on the “Add Product” option. A form has been provided for your convenience, allowing you to fill it out accordingly and have your products added seamlessly. Help pop-ups The question mark in each section pops up helpful tips to make the steps clearer and easier for you. Product Name A product title should be simple, memorable, and clearly reflect what the product is or does. It should stand out from competitors and appeal to the emotions or needs of the target audience. The name must work across different cultures, be easy to search online, and have available trademarks or domains. A good product name is unique, meaningful, and leaves a lasting impression while being flexible for future growth. Product Category The product category should be chosen based on the product’s main purpose and features, aligning with standard e-commerce classifications like electronics, fashion, or home decor. It should be intuitive for customers to find and searchable through filters or keywords. A well-chosen category improves navigation, enhances visibility in search results, and ensures the product reaches the right audience effectively. A sub-category is a specific division within a main category that helps organize products for easier browsing. For example, under “Women,” sub-categories like “clothing” or “shoes” can be used. Sub-categories should match the product’s style or use, making it easier for customers to find what they need. Product Type Add the type of your product. There are 2 types of products available on Mallshark. 1.Simple Product A simple product is a single item with no variations in size, color, or other options. It is straightforward, sold as-is, and does not require the customer to make additional selections. For example, a plain white T-shirt in one size or a specific book title is considered a simple product. 2. Variable Product A variable product offers multiple options or variants, such as different colors, sizes, styles, or other attributes, allowing customers to choose the one that best suits their preferences. You can select from the available variants, or in some cases, customize your own variation based on the options provided. This flexibility enhances the shopping experience, enabling customers to find the perfect match for their needs. Examples include a shirt available in different sizes and colors or shoes that can be personalized in terms of material or design. Product Images and Videos Product images are essential in online shopping as they help customers make informed decisions by showing details not covered in text. High-quality images build trust, boost sales, and reduce returns by setting clear expectations. Organize images for different variations to enhance the shopping experience. Upload images in 500×500 pixels for optimal display and speed, and include multiple angles or features. For variable products, categorize images by variations like color, size, or style to help customers visualize their options. Product Thumbnail A product thumbnail is a small image that represents a product on a website, often shown in search results or product listings. It helps customers quickly identify the product. When choosing a thumbnail, use a clear, high-quality image that clearly shows the product, even in a small size. Stick to simple, well-lit photos with a neutral background, and focus on the product so it’s easy to recognize. If the product has different options, choose the most popular one for the thumbnail. To engage and attract customers, you can include a video showcasing your product along with a detailed description. This will provide a more immersive experience and highlight your product’s features effectively. Product Price To add the product price, SKU, and stock for all variants, start by entering the price for each option (such as different sizes or colors) under the pricing section. Each variant should have its own SKU, (although SKUs are optional) a unique code that helps identify it (like a specific code for a red, small t-shirt). Next, set the stock quantity for each variant, so the system can track how many are available. For images, link them to the appropriate variant using the images you have already uploaded. You can edit your variation or simply delete a variant by clicking on the icons under “actions”. Product Detail and Keywords A product short description is a brief summary that highlights the key features or benefits of the product. It should be clear, concise, and give customers a quick overview of what the product is and why they might want it. In the short description, include important details such as the product’s main features, materials, size, or benefits, but keep it short—ideally one or two sentences. The goal is to grab the customer’s attention and encourage them to learn more about the product. A product description is a detailed explanation of a product, giving customers more information about what it is, how it works, and why they should buy it. It should cover key features, benefits, and any important details, such as size, material, color, and care instructions. You can also include how the product can be used or any special qualities it has. The description helps customers understand the product better and make an informed decision. Keep it clear, informative, and easy to read. To add keywords, enter relevant terms that describe your product and what potential customers might search for. You can add multiple keywords—at least 3—so include variations and synonyms to improve visibility. For example, a “red leather jacket” could include keywords like “men’s leather coat” or “stylish outerwear.” The more relevant keywords, the better the chances of appearing in search results. Product Measurements and Weight Provide the precise dimensions and weight of the product to ensure accurate information for customers and facilitate seamless shipping and handling.
