In this tutorial we will show you how to add a product to your PrestaShop store.
First go to your dashboard > Catalog > Products:
Click on the New Product button:
On the New Product page you will see several sections. We will now explain the first one:
Basic settings:
At the top of the page you need to specify the name of the product and its type – standard product, pack of products or a virtual product:
At the section below you can add images to your product:
Then you should add a brief information about the product in a short sentence that would be visible at the top of the product page:
and a detailed description:
Below the description field you should be able to see the options to add a Feature, Brand and related products. This is the place where you can specify the color, size, dimensions and other features:
On the right side of the page are located some very important settings concerning the product. We will explain the separate features one by one:
Combinations:
The option specifies the type of the product you are adding. If you wish to offer different variations of the item you should use combinations. For example if you add a T-shirt available in green, red and blue color and also in S,M and L sizes you can use combinations and all the variations will be created and available for purchase.
You can add a unique code to all of your products to identify them easily.
It is one of the most important settings for your products. You can specify the price and add a tax rate to it.
Categories:
Now you can assign the product to specific category. If it is not present you can easily create one using the Create a category button.
Quantity section:
Here you can specify the available quantity, the minimum quantity for selling the item (for example if you set this to two the customers will need to buy at least 2 pieces). You can also allow or deny orders of the product when it is out of stock.
Shipping section – fill in the product dimensions and weight, calculate the shipping fees and choose a carrier:
Pricing section
You can make more precise changes to the prices – enter price per unit, set the On sale option and enter the price you have paid for the item:
SEO section
This is the place where you can set a meta title, description and friendly URL to your product. This will make it easier for the search engines to index it which will allow the customers to find it easier:
Options section
