Step 4: Pricing & Inventory​

  1. Price (LKR): Enter the selling price.
  2. Stock Quantity: How many items do you have ready to ship?
  3. Weight (g): Enter the weight for shipping calculations.

Step 5: Adding Variants (Colors/Designs)​

Do you have the same product in different colors (e.g., Red, Blue) or designs? You don't need to create separate listings!

  1. Scroll down to the Inventory section.
  2. Toggle the switch Enable Variants.
  3. Click + Add Variant.

Configuring Variants​

For each variation (e.g., "Red Keytag"):

  • Name: Enter the variant name (e.g., "Red").
  • Price: You can set a different price if needed.
  • Stock: How many of this specific color do you have?
  • Assign Image: Select the photo that matches this specific color. When a customer selects "Red," the image will update automatically!

Step 6: Search Engine Optimization (SEO)​

This section is optional but highly recommended.

Why is this important? Adding SEO details helps your product appear on Google Search. If you skip this, customers might not find your shop when they search for keywords like "Wooden Elephant Sri Lanka" on Google.

  1. Meta Title: This is the blue headline that appears on Google. Keep it short and catchy (e.g., "Hand-Carved Wooden Elephant Statue | Good Luck Souvenir").
  2. Meta Description: A short summary of your item. Include key details like "Sri Lanka," "Handmade," or material types.
  3. Keywords: Type words people might use to search for your item, separated by commas (e.g., wooden elephant, gift, souvenir, hand carved).
