Avoid fake discounts or misleading pricing.
Step 5 — Add a Short Description
Your short description appears in important product areas.
Keep it:
- brief
- clear
- useful
Include:
- what the product is
- key benefit

Step 6 — Add Full Product Description
This is where you explain the product properly.
A good product description should include:

Recommended:
- at least 3 images

Select the category that best matches your product.
Examples:

- Sports & Fitness
- Templates & Tools

Correct categories help buyers discover your products more easily.
Avoid selecting unrelated categories.
Step 9 — Add Product Tags
Tags improve discoverability and search relevance.

Separate tags with commas.
Do not overuse unrelated tags.
Step 10 — Configure Inventory
Inventory settings help manage stock properly.

SKU
SKU helps you identify products internally.

- 25
- 100

Processing Time
This shows how quickly you can prepare orders before dispatch.
Examples:
- Ready to ship in 1 business day

Fast processing improves buyer confidence.
Weight & Dimensions
These help estimate delivery handling and packaging.
Examples:

Note: Physical products require shipping zones and delivery methods.
Without proper shipping setup, buyers may not be able to order your products.
