Product Management
Create and manage your catalog from eCommerce → Products. Products come in two types: Simple (a single item) and Variable (one product with options such as size or colour, each with its own price and stock).
Creating a Product
- Go to eCommerce → Products.
- Click Add Product.
- Fill in the tabs (General, Pricing & Inventory, Shipping, and — for variable products — Variants).
- Set the Status and click Create Product.
The product editor is organised into tabs across the top, with images and categories in the side panel.
General
| Field | Description |
|---|---|
| Product Title | The product name shown on the storefront (required). |
| URL Slug | The product's web address. Leave it on Auto to convert Greek titles to Latin automatically, or unlock it to edit by hand. |
| Product Type | Simple or Variable. |
| Status | Draft (hidden), Active (live on the storefront), or Archived. |
| SKU | Your stock-keeping code. Use the generate button to create one automatically. |
| Brand | Pick a brand, or type a new name and create it on the spot. |
| Condition | New, Used, or Refurbished. |
| Short Description | A brief summary (up to 300 characters) shown in listings. |
| Full Description | The detailed description on the product page. |
Pricing & Inventory
Pricing (simple products):
- Regular Price — the standard price.
- Sale Price — an optional lower price. When set, the discount percentage is shown automatically.
- Tax Status — Taxable (the default) charges VAT according to the tax class below; None sells the product untaxed. Use None for items outside the scope of VAT, such as gift cards, deposits, or exempt supplies. A None product is never taxed in the cart, and on its invoice it is reported to myDATA as VAT-exempt.
- Tax Class — leave as Default to use your store's tax settings, or choose a specific class. (Hidden when Tax Status is None.)
For variable products, prices are set per option in the Variants tab. Tax Status and Tax Class are set once on the product and apply to every variant.
Inventory:
- Turn on Track inventory to manage stock for this product.
- Set the Stock Quantity and a Low Stock Alert threshold — you'll be warned when stock drops below it.
- Leave tracking off for items without stock limits (digital goods, services, made-to-order).
Product Identifiers:
- EAN (Barcode) and MPN — used for stock tracking and marketplace feeds (Skroutz / BestPrice).
Product Images
In the side panel:
- Featured Image — the main photo shown in listings.
- Gallery — additional photos shown on the product page.
Categories & Brand
- Categories are assigned in the side panel and organised under eCommerce → Categories.
- Brands are chosen on the General tab and managed under eCommerce → Brands.
Shipping
On the Shipping tab, enter the product's Weight (kg) and dimensions (L × W × H, cm). These feed your shipping rate calculations; a volumetric weight estimate is shown as you type.
Product Variants
For products with options (size, colour, and so on):
- Set the Product Type to Variable on the General tab.
- Open the Variants tab and choose the attributes to vary (attributes are managed under eCommerce → Product Attributes).
- Click Generate Variants to create every combination.
- Set the price, stock, and an optional image for each variant in the table.
Linked Products
The Linked Products tab connects a product to others to help shoppers discover more and build bigger carts. There are three lists, each shown in a different place on the storefront:
| List | Where it appears | Use it for |
|---|---|---|
| Upsells | On this product's page | Higher-value or premium alternatives you'd rather sell instead. |
| Cross-sells | In the cart | Complementary products that go well with this one ("customers also bought"). |
| Related products | On this product's page | Hand-picked similar products. Leave it empty to fill it automatically from the same category. |
To link products, open the Linked Products tab, search a list by name or SKU, and click a result to add it. Chosen products appear as chips you can remove, and save with the product.
If you don't pick Related products by hand, the storefront automatically shows suggestions from the same category — so every product gets a "you might also like" row with no effort.
How the lists look on the storefront — each row's title, how many items it shows, and whether it's on or off — is set centrally in the theme's Upsell & Cross-sell settings, so your whole catalog stays consistent without editing products one by one.
Your existing cross-sells and up-sells come across automatically during a WooCommerce migration — you'll find them already filled in here.
Marketplace
The Marketplace tab appears once you've enabled a marketplace feed (Skroutz or BestPrice) under eCommerce → Settings. It shows which feeds the product is included in. See Marketplace Feeds for the full setup.
The Products List
The product list gives you quick tools to manage the catalog:
- Filter by status, product type, stock level, or on-sale items, and search by name or SKU.
- Change status inline — click a product's status badge to switch it between Draft, Active, and Archived.
- Bulk actions — select several products, then Set Active, Set Draft, Archive, or Delete them together.
Use descriptive, keyword-rich titles and descriptions, and set a Featured Image for every product — it's what customers see first in listings.
