Adding a Product
Products & Services Section
The Products & Services Section displays the basic overview for products and orders.
To add products to your online store, select “Products & Services” from the menu on the left, then select “Products”.
The Products page will display the books already added, with the most recently edited product at the top of the list.
To add a Product, select Add Product from the upper right-hand portion of the screen.
Select the type of product you want to add; Physical Product to add a book or Download to add an eBook.
Select the store where you want to list the product; phBalance, BookPubCo, or Native Voices. (Users can manage multiple websites through their Squarespace account.)
You can now add details about the product, such as the product name and images of your product. The price and stock if it's limited, and any tags or categories that apply to your product. You can also add related products based on tags.
Fill in the following details for your product:
- Product Name: Enter the name of the product.
- Description: Provide a detailed description of the product.
- Images: Upload images of your product to showcase it visually.
- Stock Information: Specify if the product is limited in stock.
- Tags/Categories: Add any relevant tags or categories to help organize your product. After adding categories and tags to products, they create automatic navigation on your Store Pages and Products Detail Pages.
The Categories are where the SEO shines. Let me know when you’ve had a chance to confer about them and let me know any changes or additions to them. I can put them on the homepages, but they will be static, so let’s figure out which ones we settle on before putting them up there.
Squarespace 7.1 took displaying tags and categories out of the store (blog only). They’re used as links in the background, but it doesn’t display them anymore. For example, if a book is part of two categories, it won’t display both the categories in the description, but the one you’re in at the top in the breadcrumbs. But it will display any related books on the product detail page.
Once you're done, click save or publish.
If you select Save, your product changes will be saved, but your product will not be live.
If you selected Publish, your product will now appear in your store.
