Adding Products
Official guide · English · Version 9c253d0cf11816df
There are three ways to add products to your catalog: manually through the product form, by importing from a spreadsheet file (Excel or CSV), or by connecting to an existing e-commerce store. This page covers manual product creation.
Info: For bulk importing products from files or stores, see Import & Export.
Opening the Add Product Dialog
Click the Add Product button in the top-right corner of the Products page. This opens the product creation dialog with all available fields.
Upload Product Images
The first section of the form is the Product Images manager. You can upload up to 10 images per product.
- Click the Upload button (dashed border with a "+" icon) to select an image file from your computer
- Click the Gallery button to select from previously uploaded images
- The first uploaded image automatically becomes the primary image
- Supported formats: JPEG, PNG, GIF, WebP
Once images are uploaded, you can:
- Reorder images using the move up/down arrows
- Set as Primary to change which image is the main product photo
- Edit an image using the built-in image editor (crop, rotate, etc.)
- Remove an image by clicking the delete button on its thumbnail
Fill in Quick Product Info
The Quick Product Info field holds source notes and specifications (up to 20,000 characters), including facts extracted from PDF catalogs. Keep catalog facts here before using the product AI tools to write a description. Short, manually entered summaries also work well.
Example:
Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra, 256GB, Titanium Black
12GB RAM, Snapdragon 8 Gen 3, 200MP camera
Best for photography, gaming, and productivity
Enter Product Details
Fill in the core product information:
| Field | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Product Name | Yes | The name of the product as it will appear in your store |
| Brand | No | The manufacturer or brand name (e.g., Samsung, Apple, Sony) |
| Categories | No | Select one or more categories from your category tree. Click the star to set the primary category. Use Quick Create to add a new category inline |
| Weight (kg) | No | Product weight in kilograms |
| Length (cm) | No | Package length in centimeters |
| Width (cm) | No | Package width in centimeters |
| Height (cm) | No | Package height in centimeters |
Info: Providing brand, weight, and dimensions helps the AI generate more accurate and detailed product descriptions.
Use AI Tools
The AI Tools section provides two powerful features:
Generate Description -- Click Generate to analyze the current product information and uploaded images. Review the editable description, structured specifications and SEO fields before saving. Sections depend on the reliable facts available; a pros/cons list, expert claim or fixed word count is not guaranteed or required.
The AI requires at least one product image to be uploaded before it can generate a description.
Replace Background -- In AI Studio Background, select a source photo, 1-5 style choices, the offered color and product size settings, then click Replace BG. Each click edits the selected photo, not five source images. Review the result and Save the product to keep it. New results share the same monthly AI image allowance as Generate All and previews.
After saving the product, SEO + AI (Beta) offers a separate saved-product keyword/URL brief and preview workflow. See AI Content and Product SEO + AI for the difference between these buttons and bulk generation.
Warning: AI description generation and background replacement are subject to your plan's quota limits. The remaining quota is displayed beneath each tool.
Set Pricing and Stock
| Field | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Price | Yes | The selling price of the product |
| Cost Price | No | Your purchase/cost price (used for profit calculations) |

Coming Soon / Pre-order Settings
When you select Coming Soon as the stock status, additional options appear:

- Bold, italic, underline formatting

- Links
- HTML content (including content generated by AI)
A character count is displayed in the top-right corner of the description section.
Configure AI Ranking Settings
These settings control how the AI chatbot prioritizes this product when making recommendations:
| Field | Range | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Suggestion Rank | 0-20 | How strongly the AI should recommend this product. Higher values (16+) give the product priority in recommendations |
| Quality Rating | 0-20 | Your assessment of the product's quality. Higher values indicate premium products |
| Value Rating | 0-20 | Price-to-quality ratio. Higher values indicate the product is a great deal |
| Selling Points | Text | Key selling points, one per line. These are used by the chatbot when describing the product to customers |
Configure Festival / Sale Settings
Enable Festival Mode to put a product on sale:
| Field | Description |
|---|---|
| Enable Festival Mode | Toggle to activate the sale |
| Sale Price | Enter as a fixed price or as a discount percentage. Use the toggle to switch between modes |
| Sale End Date | When the sale expires |
When using percentage mode, the calculated final price is displayed below the input field.
Add SEO and Product Identifiers
| Field | Max Length | Description |
|---|---|---|
| GTIN | -- | Global Trade Item Number (barcode). A warning appears if this is missing |
| MPN | -- | Manufacturer Part Number. Temporary numbers (TMP-...) are flagged for replacement |
| SEO Title | 70 chars | Page title for search engines |
| SEO Description | 160 chars | Meta description for search engine results |
| Image Alt Text | 255 chars | Alt text for the primary product image (important for accessibility and SEO) |
Info: When you use the AI description generator, it automatically fills in the SEO Title, SEO Description, and Image Alt Text fields.
Certify and Save
Before saving a new product, you must check the ownership certification checkbox confirming that you have the right to sell this product and use its images.
Click Add Product to save the product to your catalog.
What Happens After Adding a Product
After a product is created:
- The product appears in your product list immediately
- The system queues the product for AI processing (embedding generation for the chatbot)
- Once processed, the product becomes available for the AI chatbot to recommend
- The product also appears in your storefront catalog
You can check the processing status in the Chatbot Readiness card on the main Products page.
