Adding and Editing Products Individually
In addition to importing products in bulk, you can add products to Outdoorly individually.
At a minimum, each product requires a title, a description, an image, a price, a shipping option, and a category. You can edit this criteria at any time by clicking on them from the “All Products” view. This help article details the fields available when creating or editing products. The following image shows where these fields appear on a product’s store page.
Product Information
Title: The name for your product that will appear to your customers. This field is required.
Tagline: A short tagline that appears below your product title. This field is optional.
Description: The product description that appears on the product’s shop page. Keep this to a few paragraphs or less, but try to describe your product in detail. You can use simple html, but be sure to see how it looks on the product page before you make the product live! This field is required.
More Info/Tech Specs: Additional description fields that you can use to explain technical details or provide more information for users who are interested. These fields are optional.
Status
You can set the status of this product as active or inactive, or mark the product as sold out. Inactive products are hidden from your store page and are not purchasable. Sold out products are shown to customers but unpurchasable.
Organize
Category: Select the proper vertical from the category tree for organizing your products. This field is mandatory. Refer to the Categorization Guide for more information.
Your Collections: You can add this product to a collection. Currently, collections are only used to expose your products to different groups of professionals or to offer your products at different discounts. Collections will have more functionality in the future.
Tags: Tags allows customers to find your product by searching for broader categories in our search bar. Add keywords to your product for discovery.
Images & Videos
Be sure to include a main image as well as secondary and tertiary images. We recommend that the first image is of the product against a neutral background. Additional images can be other angles of the product or lifestyle/action photos.
Images: Minimum resolution: 640x640 Supported file formats: PNG, JPG Max file size: 5MB
Video: Supported file formats: MP4, AVI, MPG Max file size: 24MB
If the file size exceeds this limit the content will not be rejected but will take longer to load on your page.
Price & Inventory
Price: This is the retail price which will be displayed on products next to the discounted price. This field is required.
Sale Price: This field gives you the opportunity to offer an additional discount on top of the global discount already offered to professionals. For example, you may offer 30% off to all professionals on Outdoorly. You can discount an item with a Price field of $125 further by setting the sales price to $100. Professionals will then see the product listed at $70 (30% off $100). If the Sales Price is not provided, it will default to the retail price. So in this example, professionals would see the product listed at $87.5 (30% off $125).
If you would like to offer discounts to specific user groups or locations this can be found under Product Settings.
Quantity: This is the number of units that you would like to make available to your customers. This field defaults to infinity.
Product Options
This section allows you to add different sizes and colors for your specific product. This is only necessary if you have multiple varieties of a single product. Option Titles (i.e. size, color, material) will be shown to your customers as a dropdown banner.
Click Add Options to expand the window
Option Title: This represents how your product varies. Type in something like size, color, or material.
Size values: This is how your Option Title will be divided. For example, if your Option Title is Size, then your Size Values may be Small, Medium, and Large. If your Option Title is Color, then your Color Values may be blue and green. You can add as many Options as you wish.
For every unique combination of color and size there will be a separate variant category. Each variant needs a Price and an Image. This Price will be the retail price that will appear next to the discounted price.
Quantity: The number of product in stock. Defaults to infinity.
Sale Price: This allows you to put an additional sale on one of your variants.
You have the ability to add Weight, Length, Width, and SKU numbers as well, but these are for only your own inventory and shipping purposes. These will not be shown on your product page. All of these values can be updated in bulk (except SKU) by selecting All on the far left or by individually selecting the circles on the far left (shown below).
Advanced Details
Shipping Weight: List the product’s weight. This is the weight of the item within the package that it will be delivered in. This will be used to generate shipping prices if you are using custom rates based on weight.
Tax: If you want to collect sales tax on the product, you will need an active TaxCloud account. You can read about collecting taxes in this help article.
These next four fields are for internal record keeping and play no role in the user shopping experience. They are optional.
Dimensions: Dimensions of the product when shipped.
Country of Origin: List the country of origin where this product will be shipped from. This is important for warehousing details and distribution center instructions.
Colors: List the color(s) of your product
SKU (Stock Keeping Unit) or Product ID: This is the unique identifier that you would like to use for this product. You can use any system or code that is meaningful to you.
Shipping Information
You can choose between three types of shipping rates for the product. For information on these settings, refer to this help article.
