The product detail page is the single-product editor - the same form whether you create a product or open an existing one to edit. Its fields are grouped into sections: a main column for the product's content, and a right rail for status, publishing, and organization. This page is a map of those sections; each one links to its detailed guide.

For the full flow, Add a Product walks through creating one step by step, and Create a Product (Detailed Walkthrough) gives the field-by-field detail.

The top of the product editor: the main column (Product details, Media, Category, Pricing) alongside the full right rail (Status, Product type, Vendor, Collections, Tags, Publishing, and Theme template) (opens full size)

The lower sections of the main column: Inventory, Shipping, Variants, Metafields, and Search engine listing (opens full size)

The sections

The main column holds the product's content, top to bottom; the right rail holds how the product is published and organized.

Section What it is for Learn more

Sections without a link above are covered field by field in the detailed walkthrough linked at the top of this page, and every field is listed in Product Field Reference.

Finding the product ID

Some integrations and support requests need a product's ID. To find it:

  1. Open the product from the Products list.
  2. Look at the URL in your browser's address bar: /admin/store/{storeId}/products/{productId}.
  3. The productId is the long identifier after /products/.

Saving

The editor shows a You have unsaved changes bar at the top as soon as you edit a field. Select Save there to commit your changes.

More in Products

  • Create a Collection

    Group products under one landing page. Choose Manual (hand-picked) or Smart (rules-based) - the type is set at creation and cannot be changed later.

  • Import Products via CSV

    Add or update many products at once by uploading a CSV in the Import products dialog. Start from the sample CSV so your column headers match, upload the file, and check the preview before anything is saved. This article covers where to get the correct format, what each step of the dialog does, and how to recover when a file will not import cleanly.

  • Bulk Edit Products

    Change many products at once from the Products page: edit fields in the Bulk edit grid, set status in one click, or use More actions for tags, collections, channels, catalogs, archive, and delete.

  • Smart Collections

    A Smart collection sets conditions and fills itself: every product that matches (now and in the future) is added automatically. Best for rule-driven sets that keep themselves current as matching products are added.
