 After clicking the "Add a new product" link, just fill in the appropriate fields with your product information and hit the Save product button. In order to be easily accessible to your customers, a product then needs to be "added to a collection" which is "linked from within your shop".

 Every product must have at least one variation. If a product has only one variation, the variation should have a title of "Default". If a product has more than one variation, then each variation can be given a title that represents the physical differences. For example, the variation title can be a colour, a size or a fabric, or combinations of physical attributes.

 :: This choice should depend on how much time it takes you to restock. If you are selling glossy prints of a painting that you just finished, for example, you could allow people to always order more because the prints don't take you long to make. On the other hand, you would probably want to restrict people from ordering any more rare packages of baseball cards from the 1950s if you've just sold the last one you have.
 :; Tag your item
-:: Customers can find products with particular tags using your store's search page, and they can use tags to filter any "collection" views that are "linked to" in your store. You have complete control over how you want to tag each product: a pair of jeans could be tagged with "classic blue denim," or instead with "casual rugged pants," or you could use all of these. One important thing to remember is that you should reuse tags between products as much as possible by using your list of existing tags. You probably don't want to end up with a "tshirts" tag and a "t-shirt" tag, for instance, because your customers would have to select both of them in order to see all of your t-shirts in a given collection. In fact, you may want to limit the number of tags in your ecommerce store to just a handful for each of your main collections so that your customers don't get overwhelmed by options. More information on using tags with collections can be found on the collections tab help page".

The location code can be used to specify a physical location for the item, such as a row or shelf number, or some other label that lets you know where the item is located in your inventory. The packing list and order view will be sorted in Location Code order, so that you will be able to find all the items in the order that are physically in the same location. This makes picking large orders significantly easier.

 :; Original price
 :: If you want to brag about how much better your prices are compared to your competition, you can use this field to tell your customers just how much those swindlers are charging for the same product. Alternatively, you could use your "Original price" to represent your "regular" price when you want to put a product on sale. You will need to make sure that the "theme" you are using displays the original price in such a way that it expresses the intended meaning.
