Only one category assigned to a product

Image Description

Creating products as a seller using ATradezone is super easy. After you registered on ATradezone online marketplace as a seller, you can easily create products and customize them from an intuitive dashboard.

So check out the documentation to know the process of creating products:-

Basic Details

The common information about a product are the title, price, description. Discount price is optional. You can even schedule discounts for a certain amount of time. You can enter a starting date and end date to apply automatic discounts to your product. The seller can only select products categories and tags from the store frontend dashboard.

Select Category

By default, category selection is singular. That is why there is a drop-down field to select a category. This should be the standard-setting. Because according to Google Webmaster Guidelines and other SEO and UX best practices, it is recommended to have only one category assigned to a product. If you need to show your products based on multiple factors or for searching or sorting feature, you can use tags.

Add New Product

Under the Select Product Tags field, add a tag and Press Enter. The word or phrase will be added as a separate tag.

Selecting Product Type – Simple Product

These types of products are simple and have no variants. They are single and standalone products, which does not require any other information to define different variants.

Product Type: Simple

Selecting Product Type – Variable Product

A variable product is a product that has different types of variants. For example, you might want to sell a dress which is available in 3 different colors and sizes. So this option will enable you to add those colors and sizes you need. You can add variations based on anything you like, perhaps material used or the stitching style.

Product Type: Variable

Selecting Product Type – Grouped Product

Grouped product type is used when your product has different versions and you need to create a single product page for each version of the product. Customers can view each version either as a separate product or within a main grouped product page.

Product Type: Grouped

Inventory and variants

This section holds a bit of complicated information. None of these fields are mandatory. If you do not need to add stock quantity and your is just a simple product, then you can totally skip this section.

But if you are creating a downloadable product or selling a dress or t-shirt, which has multiple sizes, then you should read this section carefully.

Inventory

What is SKU?

SKU stands for Stock Keeping Unit. It should be a unique set of characters which will not match to any other product.

Enable Product Stock Management

Let’s say you have 20 pieces of the product and you don’t want to receive after orders are placed for 20 units. If you enable stock management and enter 20 in the quantity field, then after 20 units are ordered, this product will show a message that all the quantities are sold and there is no stock.

But, you might want to take some pre-orders before your next batch comes up. So you can Allow Back Order to let the customers place orders even if the product is out of stock.

Downloadable Product

Downloadable Option
Upload Downloadable File

If you are selling photos, music, software or any digital product, then this is the option to use. If you click on the Add File button, three more fields will be added.

The name field defines what the downloaded file name should be. We are letting you define that because you might name the original file to something like “ATradezone-eBook.pdf” and you want the user to download the file as “ATradezone eBook”. So this option will be useful for you to serve and organize better.

If you are serving the files from your very own site, then you can click on choose file and select. But you can also serve the file from Dropbox, Google Drive or some other file hosting site you like.

Other Options

Visibility: The visibility option defines the privacy of the product. By default “Catalog and Search” is selected. But if you want the product to only appear on category listing page, search results or want to list as a hidden product, then you can select the option respectively.

If you select any other option than Catalog and Search then the product will not appear on the site other than the store page.

Purchase Note: If you want the customer to receive a custom message right after purchasing the product, you can paste that in the box.

Reviews: If you don’t want to receive reviews for the product from the customers, you can turn it on or off.
