Adding & Managing Products
Create a simple product
- Go to Products → Add product.
- Fill in Title, Handle (URL slug, auto-generated), and Description.
- Upload one or more images. The first image becomes the thumbnail.
- Set Price per region. If you only have one region, you only set one price.
- Set Inventory quantity. Toggle Track inventory if you want stock to decrement on each sale.
- Click Publish. The product appears immediately on the storefront.
Variant products (size, color, etc.)
When a product comes in multiple sizes or colors:
- In the product editor, scroll to Variants.
- Click Add option — name it (e.g. Size) and list values (S, M, L).
- Click Generate variants. CarphaCom creates one variant per combination.
- For each variant, set its own price and stock count.
Categories
Categories give your storefront its navigation. Create them in Categories:
- Categories can be nested (e.g. Clothing → Shirts → T-shirts).
- Each product can belong to multiple categories.
- The storefront menu reads directly from this tree.
Bulk import
For large catalogs, use Products → Import CSV. The CSV format is documented inline — download the sample, fill it, upload. Imports run in the background and you'll see progress on the page.
SEO
Each product has SEO fields: meta title, meta description, OpenGraph image. If you install the SEO Essentials plugin from the marketplace, you also get JSON-LD product schema and auto-sitemap generation.
Tips
- Use clear, short titles. Long titles wrap awkwardly in cart drawers.
- Image dimensions should be at least 1000×1000 px for retina screens.
- Always set Track inventory unless you sell digital products with infinite supply.
