Products are your inventory, the items that you rent out to customers. This article will teach you how to:

• Add products
• Edit existing products
• Remove products permanently or temporarily

Add Products

Adding products includes four major steps:

1. Create a product.
2. Create variants of the product.
3. Create asset IDs for each variant of the product.
4. Toggle the visibility of the product.

Create Product

1. In the Admin app, navigate to the Products tab in the sidebar.
2. Click the add product button in the upper right corner.
3. Write the name of the product.
4. Write a description of the product in the text box. Using the text editor you can create lists, bold and highlight text, and embed videos.
5. Select the vendor of the product. The vendor is the manufacturer who created the product. Previously created vendors can be selected from the dropdown menu; new vendors can be created by writing the name.
6. Select the category of the product. The category is how the products are grouped together, customers can use categories as filters for searching your web store. Previously created categories can be selected from the dropdown menu; new categories can be created by writing the name.
7. Upload images of the product. These should be a png file with a transparent background.
8. Click the create product button.
9. A green 'success!' banner will indicate the product has been created.

Create Variants

After creating a product you must create a variant. The variant is the specific type of the product. For example, its size or colour. Customers will select the variant from the dropdown when renting products.

1. Click the add variant button at the bottom of the edit product page.
2. The variant creation pop-up will open.
3. Type the name of the variant.
4. Click the create variant button.

Create Asset IDs

After creating product variants you must add an asset ID to each variant. The asset ID represents a single unit or stock item of a product.

1. Click the name of the variant to open the variant detail page.
2. Click the add stock item button.
3. Select the store where the product is located.
4. Write the unique asset ID for the unit. If you store already uses IDs to identify products, we recommend using these.
5. Toggle the product to available.
6. Click the save button.
7. Repeat steps 2–6 to add multiple asset IDs to a variant.

Toggle Visibility
