This article covers the process to add a product to the Outlet specific Shopify Website
- A products template needs to be filled in containing the following
- SKU code (at size level)
- Web Description
- Brand
- Product Group
- Image (usually more than 1 if possible)
- Filter on the list to retrieve all products with 5 on-hand or higher
- Filter on the description column and remove blank descriptions
- This will become the primary list to maintain, but first validate this against all items already created in Shopify. To do this:
- Log into Shopify Admin and open the RSEA Safety Outlet website
- Navigate to Products and then Export
- Make sure "All Products" is selected, and then CSV
- Do the necessary vlookups to identify items where the full product code already exists, or even just the style code
- When ready to create items, do the following
- Log into Shopify Admin and open the RSEA Safety Outlet website
- Navigate to Products, and first search for the stock code using the full SKU
- If the stock code exists, then just make sure that the Status is Active and that the inventory is correct
- Assuming the full stock code doesn't exist, then check based on the style code (the first 8 digits
- If the style code exists, then we just need to add that colour and size. To do this
- Open the product update and navigate down to Variant and click on "COLOUR" or "SIZE"
- Under the Option Values, add in the new colour (Check Pronto or CMS to find colour name) and then click Done
- Go to the Variant section below, tick the new colour and go to the 3 dots in the top right corner and select "Edit SKU"
- Enter in the new SKU code in full (including size)
- Click on the missing image next to the name to save the image
- Finally, click Save up top
- You might need to also make sure that the product is active.
- If the style code exists, then we just need to add that colour and size. To do this
- If the style code doesn't exist then the item will need to be created in full. To do this:
- Click "Add Product" at the top of the Products Page
- Add in the web description/title
- Add in the content - This is currently retrieved from the RSEA website
- Under "Media", add in all of the images - This is currently retrieved from the RSEA website
- For the Category, make sure it is left blank
- Leave all pricing blank, this will be picked up in the next sync
- On the right hand side, for the "Type" select the appropriate type (e.g. CLOTHING, FOOTWEAR, PPE, etc.)
- On the right hand side, for Vendor, type in the brand
- On the right hand side, for Tags, select the various tags, selecting at least the following
- Sale, New stock, products in stock
- Keep Theme as Default Product
- Make sure "Track Inventory" is selected
- Make sure "This is a physical product" is ticked but keep Weight 0
- Under Variants, add in the colour and sizes. Note that these are case sensitive and need to match the following:
- Adding in the colour variant:
- Option Name = "COLOUR"
- Option Values = <get the colour name from Pronto?
- Save
- Adding in the size variant
- Option Name = "SIZE"
- Option Values = These need to be valid sizes compared to other products. For example, if it is a T-Shirt then it would be "Small", "4XL", etc. Best to check another similar product to find the correct size terminology
