Create a product on WooCommerce

In order to create a successful e-Commerce store, it is vital to master product management. Adding a product on WooCommerce is the basic action and the first step you need to know before you start selling to customers.

We will walk you through a step-by-step guide below to show you how to do it in detail.

Add A New Product

Go to WooCommerce – All Products, then click on Add New.

Or directly click on Add New in the left-hand side under the Products menu.

In the new product window, you can add the product name and description.

You can use the name you want and add the description you like.

On this page, you can also Edit the product permalink.

Permanent links (permalinks) are permanent URL structures used to help organize the content of your website (pages, posts, products, etc.) so it can be efficiently navigated, shared, and referenced by users.

You can personalize it as you wish.

Product data

Scroll down to access the Product data part.

You can access the drop-down list to select your product type.

If you choose Simple product, it means your product has no variations.

Variations refer to choices or options that are available to the customers. For instance, a customer can purchase a black or whiteT-shirt. The black and white options are variations.

If you want to create a product with multiple variations, make sure to select Variable product.

Now let’s see how to set everything for the product you are creating.

In Inventory, you need to first create an SKU name for the product.

Stock keeping unit (SKU) is a unique code that is used by retailers to identify characteristics about each product and track its inventory.

Choose if you want to track stock by enabling stock management at product level.

Then, you can set a quantity of product available andprevent out of stock orders by not allowing backorders.

In Shipping, you need to enter the weight and dimensions of the product.

In Linked Products, you can set up Upsells and Cross-sells.

The product you select for Upsells will appear on the product page as “You may also like”.

Here is an example of how Upsells would appear on your product page.

The product you select for Cross-sells will appear on the cart page as “You may be interested in”.

Here is an example of how Cross-sells would appear on your cart page.

In Attributes, you can add attributes to your product such as Size, Color, etc.

In Variations, you can add variations for the attributesand set the price, stock status, weights, etc. for each variation.

Don’t forget to save when you are done setting all your variations!

In Advanced, you can create a special Purchase note and activate the reviews for this product.
