Products are listed in the Product Catalog. From the Product Catalog, you can add new products and view or edit existing products. The Product Catalog uses connected data to connect to the Product page. This means when you add a new product, a new dynamic product page is created and the widgets on the page are connected to fields within the Product Catalog. When you update a product in the Product Catalog, the changes automatically appear on the corresponding product page.
The following product types are available:
-
Physical product. Sell merchandise, apparel and other physical goods.

Content Blocks (formerly known as Custom Fields) are used to display additional information about a product on its product page, such as instructions or warranty information. To use Content Blocks, you need to create a Content Block in a product in the product catalog, add a widget to the product page where you want to display the content, then connect the widget to the content block in the product catalog.
You can add up to 50 content blocks per site.
To create a Content Block:
-
Click Manage Products.
-
Click the desired product to open it.
-
In the Custom fields section, click +Create Content Block.
-
Type a title (2000 characters maximum). This cannot be the same as another default field, such as the product name or description.
-
Use the What kind of content is this? drop down menu to select the field type. Currently, HTML/rich text, plain text, video, and image are supported. Only a single image can be added per Content Block. To add multiple images, a Content Block will need to be created for each one.
-
Click Create.
-
Add content to the custom field you just created.
-
Click Save.
Once created for one product, it will be available in the edit area for each product. The content block will only display on product pages when there is a value assigned to the content block for that specific product.
If you have not already, you need to add a widget to the product page where you want to display the content. To learn how to add a widget to the product page, see Store Pages and Connected Widgets.
You need to add a text, image, or accordion widget to the product page to define where you want the content from your content block field to display. The widget added must correspond to the content type of the custom field. For example, if you added a text field, you need to add a widget that supports text (for instance, a text or accordion widget). After adding the widget, you need to connect it to the custom field you created.
To connect a content block to a text or image widget:
-
In the side panel, click Sell Online, then click Store Pages.
-
Click Product Page.
-
In the side panel, click Widgets.
-
Drag and drop the desired widget onto your Product page.
-

Note
-
Product options can only be added to stores created after July 19, 2022.
-
Product options are not available for digital products.
If you sell products with options, such as color and size, you can create one product and add the options to the product instead of creating separate product listings for each option. For example, you can add a shirt as a product, then add color and size as options. Then for each option, you add option values. For the color option you could add red, green, and blue as option values. The option values display in a default drop-down menu or optional radio button format on the product page using the Product Options widget. Users can easily switch between these formats through the widget's content tab, with the default setting being a drop-down menu.
Options are combined to create up to 8 variations per product. The 8 variations can be created using 2 options with 3 values each, or 3 options with 2 values each. To learn more about creating product variations, see Product Variants.
When creating options, the option name and values must be in string format. The option name and values you create for one product are automatically saved so you can reuse them in other product listings.
To create product options:
-
Click Manage Products.
-
Click the product you want to add options to. Note that digital products cannot have options.
-
In the Product options section, click +Add options.
-
Type an option name. The option name appears on the Product page as a label above the Product Options widget.
-
Type option values, separating each value with a comma. The option values, which by default appear in a drop-down menu can also be displayed in radio button format. (Optional) To configure this, access the widget's content tab, where you can switch between drop-down and radio button displays.
-
Click Add, then click Save.
Once you add options to a product, the Product Options widget is automatically added to the Product page. If the Product Options widget is not showing up, you can add it to the Product page from the Widgets panel.
You can edit the option values, such as small, medium, large, for an individual product. For example, if you now offer additional shirt sizes, you can add the new sizes as option values to the size option you already created. You can use the same options with different values for different products. For example, shirt size option values can be S and M, while pants size option values can be XS, S, M, and L.
To edit option values:

Click the product you need to edit option values for.
