Getting Started


Creating a New Product is an essential and necessary aspect of running your store through the Shopify system. Without the ability to add your products yourself, you will be unable to update and customize products according the the specific, personalize information your store needs. This page will focus on briefly laying out the steps for adding and creating new products. For more information on this topic, please review Adding and Updating Products and Product Details.


Finding and Adding Products

In order to begin adding products to your store's inventory, please follow these steps:

  1. From your store's MyShopify home page, find and select Products
  2. Find and select the green button labeled Add Product in the top right of your screen
  3. Fill in the new product's Title and other Details


Adding Product Details

Once you have found and begun to add your product, you'll notice there are many areas for customization beyond the product's Title. These include:

  • Description
  • Media
  • Pricing
  • Inventory
  • Shipping
  • Options
  • Search Engine Listing
  • Metafields
  • Product Status
  • Product Organization
  • Online Store


Because of how in-depth and fully customizable your product information can be, we recommend checking out Shopify's full break down of these customization fields by checking out and reviewing Product Details.


Duplicating Products

In order to save time when creating new products, you can Duplicate products. This allows for previously made products to be copied; from here, you can quickly adjust the Product Details to match the new product. This may be easier when the duplicated product has something in common with the product being added.


Duplicating a product gives you the option to copy over any or all of the following information:

  • Images
  • SKUs
  • Barcodes
  • Inventory Quantity
Duplicated items are set as drafts until manually set to active. When set to draft this duplicated product page will remain hidden from customers


In order to duplicate a product, follow these steps:

  1. From your store's MyShopify page, select Products
  2. From the Products page, search for and select the product being duplicated
  3. From that product's customization page, find and select the Duplicate button near the product name at the top of the page
  4. Enter a name for the duplicated product and select Duplicate Product
  5. Finish inputting the new product's details
  6. Click Save
