Add a new product

Steps:

Duplicate a product

To save time when you add a new product, you can duplicate a similar product. If you want to add options to an existing product, such as color or size, thenadd a variantto the product instead of duplicating the product.

When you duplicate a product, you have the option to copy one or more of the following product details:

• images
• SKUs
• barcodes
• inventory quantity

If you leave the options unselected, then these product details are left blank in the duplicate. Other product details except 3D models and videos are copied from the original to the duplicate.

By default, the duplicate product's status is set asdraft, and hidden on all your channels and apps. The duplicated product isn't available to sales channels until you change its status asactive. You have the option to make the duplicate available to the same channels and apps as the original product. In this case, depending on the sales channel, the duplicate product might be published immediately after it's created.

Steps:

Edit a product

After you've created products, you can edit them to change their descriptions, prices, and any other product details.

Although you can change your product details at any time, the changes can affect your reports. For information on how the changes can affect the way that products appear and are grouped in your reports, seeChanges to product details.
