The Simple Product type is the most straightforward and commonly used option for adding items to your store. It is ideal for selling physical products that don’t have variations, such as size or color. Here’s a breakdown of how it works:
- Image: You can upload a single or multiple images to visually represent the product. The first image will serve as the cover or main product image.
- Product Name: Enter the product title, which will be the primary way customers identify it in your store.
- Descriptions:
- Short Description: A brief, concise summary of the product that typically appears next to the product image in listings.
- Full Description: A detailed explanation that gives more information about the product’s features, benefits, and specifications. This appears on the product’s main page.
- Price: Set a regular price for the product, and optionally, a sale price if the product is discounted.
- SKU: Add a Stock Keeping Unit to track inventory and manage stock levels.
- Stock Management: Optionally, you can turn on stock management to set the quantity available and automatically track sales.
- Shipping: Add product dimensions (weight, length, width, height) to calculate shipping fees.
- Tax: Define the tax status and tax class for this product, whether it’s taxable or not.
The Simple Product type is typically used for physical goods like books, electronics, and clothing items, where each product is sold individually with no selectable variations.
