Adding products
Adding products is a matter of navigating to the appropriate category or subcategory and clicking on the + link. There are a multitude of boxes and options to choose from and they deserve a little bit of consideration each.
In the Time for action, I will cover what to enter in each box as a separate item. However, I will skip over a few items like meta tags because they are best dealt with on a site-wide basis separately.
The other important option is the product description. This deserves special treatment because it needs to be effective at selling your product.
With the categories, I specifically showed you how to create the structure before filling in the descriptions because I and others I know have got into a muddle in the past. It is less likely but still possible to get into a bit of a muddle with the products as well. This is especially true if you have lots of them.
However, perhaps you should be the judge of whether to fill out your catalog before adding descriptions...
