On this page

The product editor is the single page where you set up everything about a product. This article lists every field in it, grouped by the section it appears in, with what each field does and which are required. Use it when you need to check one specific field rather than walk the whole flow: to learn how to fill the editor step by step, use Create a Product (Detailed Walkthrough), and for a visual map of the sections, see Product Detail Page.

The editor has a main column for the product's content and a right column for its status and organization. Of all the fields below, only Title and Price are required.

The variant rule: on a product with no variants, Pricing, Inventory, and Shipping are their own sections. Once a product has options, those three move into each variant and the product-level sections disappear, which Product Variants explains.

Main column: the product's content

Product details

The product's identity: its name and the copy that sells it.

Field	What it does
Title	Required. The customer-facing name, shown on the storefront, in search, and on order receipts.
Description	The rich-text body on the product page; use headings, lists, links, and media to answer a shopper's questions.

Media

Media holds the product's images, video, and 3D models (an empty section reads Accepts images, videos, or 3D models). Upload new or Select existing open the media picker, and the first tile becomes the featured image used wherever the storefront shows the product as a thumbnail. Managing Product Images covers it in full.

Pricing (no-variant products)

What the customer pays and what the product costs you. The Price sits at the top; expand Additional display prices to reach the rest.

The physical details carriers and customs need. Turn off Physical product for a digital item that needs no shipping.

Weight	The product weight, with a unit (kg, g, lb, or oz).
Country of origin	Where the product was made, for customs.

Variants

Options such as size or color. Adding options turns the single product into one variant per combination, and Pricing, Inventory, and Shipping then live inside each variant.

Option values	The values for each option (for example, Small, Medium, Large).
Variants	One per combination of values, each with its own price, image, SKU, barcode, weight, cost, compare-at, and inventory. Product Variants

Metafields

Metafields are custom fields beyond the standard ones, such as a material, a season, or a care instruction. Add definition creates one, and definitions you have already set up appear here ready to fill. Metafields explains how to define and use them.

Search engine listing

How the product appears in search results. Leave these blank to use the title and description by default.

Field	What it does
Page title	The SEO title shown in search results.
Meta description	The snippet shown under the title.
URL handle	The product's URL slug, generated from the title.

Search listings are covered in Product SEO (Search Engine Listing).

Right column: status and organization

Status

Status controls who can see the product: Active (visible in search and collections), Draft (not visible to customers, for a product you are still working on), or Unlisted (reachable only through a direct link). Manage Product Status sets out what each one does.

Organization and publishing

Where the product sits in your catalog and which channels sell it.
