Products

Here is where you manage your products. When you add new products,

Remember to set the product availability status. Use the Organization section to sort and organize your products:

When you click to choose the product type, the vendor, the tags and the collections, the list may appear empty at first.

Don't worry: just type a new name and click it to create one. See the picture above. To create a new collection, however, you need to access “Collections” — see below.

Variants

If a product has multiple options, use “Variants”.

In the screenshot above, tick the checkbox first and give the option a name, such as size, color, weight, etc. (maximum of 2 options). Then, under "Option Values", list all the available values of that option: type in the field, for example, 128G and enter a comma or press the "enter" key on your keyboard. The value then appears in a blue box with a delete button.

After setting up all the options, you can edit the price of each variant. Click "Save" to create the product and click the pencil icon to go back to the editing page and add more details of the variant, such as photo, compared price, inventory, etc.:

This is how it looks in the shopping interface:

Note

TIP - In my case, I have the color and size options. For color I have different photos; for size, I don't. That is why I need to put color as the first option, since only the first option shows the variant photos.

Collections

When you create a collection, you can add products to it in two ways:

manually add existing products to it

You need to choose the “Manual” option and save it first; then click the pencil icon to add products. When adding products, click the "Search" button without any keyword to get the full list of all existing products, or type a keyword to search.

add automatically by setting conditions

Set up the conditions before saving. "all conditions" means that only the product that matches all the conditions listed here will be added to this collection. "any condition", on the other hand, means that the product that matches any one of the conditions listed here will be added.

Discounts

Select the “Discounts” tag and click “Create Discount”.

Use "Generate code" to get a random code or set a code yourself.

Customize the rest of the discount details as you like. Once done, click “Save”.

Note

TIP - If system errors appear, you will not be able to create the discount. Leave it for later: we are working on this feature and will solve it as soon as possible. Sorry for the inconvenience.

Shopping Carts

Here is where you check the users' cart information. Click the "x items" button to view the item details, as in the example:

Note

Note – after checkout, the items are removed from the carts and added to the orders.

Orders

The entire order history is listed under "Orders". Again, click the “x items” button to view the item details.

Settings

Warning

IMPORTANT - a series of basic information, such as store details, shipping method and payment method, must be set before you test the checkout process. For example, if you have not added any payment method in the settings, you may not be able to open the checkout page.

Enter your store details.

Check all the available shipping methods. If the "Pick up" option is checked, do not forget to fill in the "Store address", above "Shipping Method".

Check all the available payment methods and select the currency.

Finally, add a prefix or a suffix to your order ID, if needed.

All these settings can be accessed in the flow's “SHOP” JSON. Check the "SHOP" JSON variable.
