How to create a product

Products are the items you sell in your store. This guide walks through creating a product in Shopify Admin and setting it up correctly for the Elegance theme.

1

Open the Products section

Go to Shopify Admin → Products. Click Add product in the top right corner.

2

Add a title and description

Enter a clear Product title. In the Description field, write the product details. The description supports bold, italic, lists, and links.

3

Upload product images

In the Media section, click Add media to upload product images, videos, or 3D models. You can upload multiple images — the first image becomes the main product image.

After uploading, click each image and add Alt text to describe the image for accessibility and SEO.

4

Set pricing

In the Pricing section:

• Price — the selling price.

• Compare at price — the original price (shown as strikethrough). Leave blank if no sale.

• Cost per item — your cost price (used for profit calculation, not shown to customers).

• Charge tax — check if this product is taxable.

5

Set up inventory

In the Inventory section:

• SKU — a unique stock-keeping unit code.

• Track quantity — enable to manage stock levels.

• Quantity — enter how many units are in stock.

• Continue selling when out of stock — enable if you want the product to remain purchasable when stock is zero.

6

Add variants (optional)

If your product comes in different options (e.g., size, Color, Material), click Add options like size or color in the Variants section. Enter the option name and values.

Each variant can have its own price, SKU, and inventory quantity.

7

Set shipping details

In the Shipping section, check This is a physical product if applicable. Enter the weight — this is used for shipping rate calculations.

8

Add SEO details

Scroll to the Search engine listing section at the bottom. Click Edit to add:

• Page title — shown in search results and browser tabs.

• Meta description — shown in Google search results below the title.

• URL handle — the product page URL (auto-generated, can be edited).

9

Assign to a collection

In the Product organization section on the right, find Collections and type to search for or select a collection to add this product to. A product can be in multiple collections.

10

Save the product

Click Save in the top right corner. The product is now saved.

To make it visible in your store, set the status to Active using the Status dropdown in the right panel.

Tips for Elegance Theme

Tip	Details
Product images	Upload square or portrait images for best results with the default card aspect ratio. Recommended minimum: 1200 × 1200px.
Alt text	Always fill in alt text on every product image. This improves accessibility and SEO.
Color swatches	To show color swatches on product cards, name your variant option exactly 'Color' (or the name you set in Theme Settings → Color Swatches).
Compare at price	Set a compare-at price to show a sale badge and strikethrough price on product cards.
Inventory tracking	Enable 'Track quantity' to allow the Inventory block on the product page to show in-stock/low-stock/sold-out messages.
