How to Add Products to Your eCommerce Website on OrkaStores – A Step-by-Step Guide for Beginners | Orka stores

Launching your online store with OrkaStores is an exciting first step toward growing your digital business. But what’s next? The most important part—

adding products to your store!

Whether you're selling fashion, electronics, beauty products, or anything in between, OrkaStores makes it incredibly easy to upload and manage your

products.

In this simple guide, we’ll walk you through the step-by-step process of adding products to your eCommerce website on OrkaStores—perfect for beginners!

🔹 Step 1: Log in to Your OrkaStores Admin Panel

First, go to www.orkastores.com and log in using your store credentials.

Once you're in, you’ll land on your Dashboard—this is your control center for everything.

🔹 Step 2: Navigate to the Products Section

On the left-hand sidebar menu, look for “Products” and click on it.

Here, you’ll see a list of existing products (if any), or an empty page if this is your first time adding a product.

Click the “Add New Product” button to get started.

🔹 Step 3: Enter Basic Product Information

You’ll be taken to a product creation page. Fill in the following details:

1. Product Name: Be clear and descriptive. (e.g., "Men's Slim Fit Cotton Shirt")
2. Product Description: Write a compelling and detailed description that tells customers about the features, benefits, and uses of the product.
3. Category: Choose the most relevant product category (like Clothing, Electronics, Home Decor, etc.)

🔹 Step 4: Add Product Images

Images sell! Upload high-quality product images from different angles.

Make sure:

1. The product is centered and well-lit
2. Images are clear and show real product colors
3. Use JPEG or PNG formats

Click on “Upload Images” and select your files. You can add multiple images for better customer understanding.

🔹 Step 5: Set Price & Stock Information

This is where you define how much the product costs and how much you have available.

1. Selling Price: The final price shown to the customer
2. Compare at Price (Optional): Show original price if you're offering a discount
3. SKU: (Stock Keeping Unit) - Useful for inventory tracking
4. Stock Quantity: Mention how many units you currently have

If you're tracking inventory, check the box that says “Track Inventory” so you get alerts when stock runs low.

🔹 Step 6: Choose Product Variants (If Any)

If your product comes in different sizes, colors, or styles, use the Variants option.

Example:

For a t-shirt, you can add:

1. Sizes: S, M, L, XL
2. Colors: Red, Black, Blue

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

🔹 Step 7: SEO Settings (Optional but Recommended)

Help your product get found on Google by optimizing your SEO fields:

1. SEO Title: Short, keyword-rich title
2. Meta Description: 1–2 sentences about your product
3. Product URL: Customize your link if needed (e.g., yourstore.com/products/slim-fit-shirt)

🔹 Step 8: Set Product Visibility

Choose whether the product should be visible to the public:

1. Visible Now: Makes the product live on your store
2. Hidden: If you're still working on it or want to launch later

🔹 Step 9: Save and Publish

Once you’ve double-checked all the information, hit “Save” or “Publish” (depending on your store settings).

🎉 Your product is now live and ready to sell!

🔹 Step 10: Set Up Payment Options (Essential for Getting Paid!)

Before you start selling, make sure you’ve enabled payment options so customers can place orders.
