Product status
When creating a new product in your store, the default status is Published, indicating that the product is public and live on your store. However, if you are duplicating or unarchiving a product, the default status will be Draft, indicating that the product isn't public.
While creating products on Zencommerce admin panel, you can set 3 product statuses:
- Published: This means the product details are complete and the product is ready to be sold.
- Draft: This means the product details need to be completed before it can be sold.
- Hidden: This means the product details are complete, but the product is no longer for sale. Archiving a product hides it from your admin and any customers.
Product tags
Product tags are more specific than product collections and often serve as keywords or descriptors directly associated with a product. Tags are typically used to provide more granular and specific information about a product, enabling users to search, filter, or group items based on specific attributes or characteristics.
For example, if we consider a clothing store, a product collection might be "Men's Clothing," while tags associated with individual products within that collection could be "t-shirt," "jeans," "sweater," or "formal wear." These tags help in organizing products within their respective collections and provide more specific information about the nature or style of each item.
When you create a product tag, a unique URL is is generated for each product tag.
Add tags to products
You can create tag on the right side of the product creation page.
Simply enter the desired tags in the provided field and press the "Enter" key to add them.
Setting product weight
Located on the right side of the product creation page, within the shipping section, you'll find the weight field. Within this field, you can select the appropriate unit of measurement (g, kg, oz, lb) and enter the corresponding numerical value.
The weight you provide plays a vital role in calculating accurate shipping rates for customers during the checkout process. Additionally, it ensures that appropriate pricing labels are generated during fulfillment, allowing for seamless and efficient order processing.
