Basic Details

The common information about a product are the title, price, short description. Adding a discounted price is optional. You can even schedule discounts for a certain amount of time. You can enter a starting date and end date to apply automatic discounts to your product.

Both the categories and tags have to be created by YourMarket Admin. You can only select them from the frontend dashboard. Because allowing you to create categories and tags might result in duplicates.

Select Category

What are product categories?

Product categories are a way to organize products based on their shared characteristics or intended use, making it easier for customers to find what they need and for businesses to manage their inventory.

According to Google Webmaster Guidelines and other SEO best practices, it is recommended to have one category assigned to a product. If you as a seller have a category that is not listed, please send us recommendations and we will add them to the list and site menus.

If you need to show your products based on multiple factors or for searching or sorting features, you can use tags.

Sellers need to select the category from the drop-down.

You will see a pop-up where you need to select the categories,

You can also search for categories. Just type the category name in the search box, and you will see the matching categories.

Create Tags

What are product tags?

Product tags are keywords or labels attached to products to help with organization, searchability, and overall product management. They act as descriptive identifiers that allow customers to easily find items with similar features or characteristics. These tags can range from general terms like “summer” or “discount” to more specific details like “size,” “color,” or “brand”.

You must create new product tags from you dashboard in the Tags field.

Vendors click on Vendor Dashboard>Product>Add New Product. Under the Select Product Tags field, add a tag and Press Enter. The word or phrase will be added as a separate tag.

You can select either a Simple or Variable product.

Selecting Product Type – Variable Product

A variable product is a product that has different types of variants. For example, you might want to sell a dress that is available in 3 different colors and sizes. So this option will enable you to add the colors and sizes you need. You can add variations based on anything you like, perhaps the material used or the stitching style.

To create a variation from the frontend, you have to select This Product Has Multiple Options. Then some new fields will appear to input the variations. If you already created some variations from the backend, then you can select them from the dropdown on the top right and click Add Option.

Enable Product Stock Management

YourMarket Product 11

Let’s say you have 10 pieces of the product and you don’t want to receive after orders are placed for 10 units. If you enable stock management and enter 10 in the quantity field, then after 10 units are ordered, this product will show a message that all the quantities are sold and there is no stock.

But, you might want to take some pre-orders before your next batch comes up. So you can Allow Backorder to let the customers place orders even if the product is out of stock.

What is SKU?

SKU stands for Stock Keeping Unit. It should be a unique set of characters which will not match any other product. This is not mandatory.

Shipping

You will need to set up your store-wide Shipping Methods to calculate and charge your delivery fee. Find this in your Vendor from Dashboard Settings navigate to Store→Vendor Dashboard→Settings→Shipping.

If the dimensions have an impact on your courier cost, it is recommended to edit Shipping at the Product level.

After activating the feature from both places, you will get the default shipping price override option. Else only the shipping class selection will be available.
