So you’ve created your eCommerce website — great start! But now comes the most important part: adding your products so people can start shopping.

If you’re wondering, “What all should I fill in when I add a product?” — this blog will guide you step by step in simple language. No technical skills needed!

Let’s get started.

✅ Step 1: Enter a Clear Product Name

This is the first thing your customer sees. Make it simple and specific.

Tips:

1. Include brand, material, color, or size if possible
2. Avoid using all CAPS or just short names

Examples:

1. ❌ “Kurti”
2. ✅ “Cotton Printed Kurti – Red, Size M”
3. ✅ “Handmade Scented Soy Candle – Rose, 200g”

A good product name helps your product show up in search and look more professional.

✅ Step 2: Upload Product Images

Photos sell the product — not words. Good product images are a must.

Tips for great images:

1. Use a plain background (white or light-colored)
2. Click from different angles: front, side, close-up
3. Use natural light or ring light
4. Add 2 to 4 clear photos

Tools you can use: Your phone camera + Canva or Snapseed for editing

✅ Step 3: Set the Price

Next, add the selling price of the product.

Also add:

1. Original Price (if you're offering a discount)
2. Selling Price (the price after discount)

Example:

1. Original Price: ₹999
2. Offer Price: ₹749

Most platforms show the discount automatically when both prices are added.

✅ Step 4: Write a Product Description

This is where you explain your product. Write in a simple, honest way.

Include:

1. What the product is
2. Material, size, usage
3. Benefits or offers
4. Any care instructions

Example:

“This soft cotton kurti is perfect for daily wear. Breathable fabric, comfortable fit, and beautiful print. Available in sizes S to XL. Wash gently by hand. Perfect for summer!”

Use bullet points if possible. Make it easy to read.

✅ Step 5: Add Stock Quantity

You need to tell the website how many pieces you have in hand. This helps:

1. Show “Sold Out” when stock is over
2. Avoid getting extra orders
3. Track your sales better

Example: If you have 10 pieces of a kurti, enter “10” in stock.

When customers place orders, the number goes down automatically.

✅ Step 6: Choose Category and Tags

Categories help you organize products on your site. Tags help customers find what they want.

Category examples:

1. Clothing
2. Skincare
3. Jewelry
4. Electronics

Tag examples:

1. New Arrival
2. Best Seller
3. Under ₹500
4. Festival Offer

This makes browsing easy for your customers — like walking through sections in a store.

✅ Step 7: Add Product Variants (Optional)

If your product comes in different sizes, colors, or weights, add them here.

Example:

1. Size: S, M, L, XL
2. Color: Red, Blue, Black
3. Weight: 250g, 500g, 1kg

This way, the customer can choose what they want from a dropdown list.

✅ Step 8: Add Delivery Info (Optional but Helpful)

Customers like to know how long shipping will take and if there’s a delivery charge.

Example:

1. Delivery in 3–5 days
2. Free shipping for orders above ₹999
3. ₹50 flat delivery charge across India

This builds trust and avoids confusion later.

✅ Step 9: Preview and Publish

Once all the details are added:

1. Check spelling and prices
2. See if images look clear
3. Use the “Preview” button if available

Then click “Publish” or “Save”, and your product is live!

Congratulations — your online shop is open for business!
