How to add products in Magento

We will show you in this tutorial how to add products on your Magento store in a few simple steps.

The first step is to login to the administrator back-end of the store:

http://yourdomain.com/index.php/admin

If you have installed Magento under a subfolder of the www root folder for an example “store” you should add this directory name before the index.php. When the back-end is completely rendered navigate to Catalog > Manage Products submenu:



Here you will see a list of all the products you have added to your store. You have the option to filter these in order to show only the products you need to modify or review. Also you have the option to add new items using the “Add Product” button available on the  top right corner of the page:
