A map of the product editor - what each section is for and where to find its detailed guide. The editor has a main column of content sections and a right rail for status, publishing, and organization.
Update product info such as title, description, price, images, variants, inventory, and status, and understand how saving affects your channels, carts, and analytics.
Group products into collections customers can browse together - by category, theme, sale, or season. Choose Manual or Smart, then link the collection in your storefront navigation.
Add, feature, reorder, and remove product images in the Media section of the product editor, plus video and 3D models, and how the featured image is used across your store.
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.
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.
Every product carries a status, Active, Draft, or Unlisted, that decides where shoppers can find it. This article covers what each status does on the storefront, how to change one and save it, where status shows up outside the editor, and how status differs from archiving or deleting a product.
Define options like Size and Color on a product, and Tanqory generates a purchasable variant for every combination. Covers the option-type picker, option values, adding multiple options, and one-off variants.
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.
The product creation form is where you define everything about a product before it goes live - its name, images, price, stock, variants, and sales channels. This is a field-by-field guide to each section, which fields are required, and the choices that are hard to change later.
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.
A Manual collection holds products you add by hand, one at a time - full control over what is in it. Best for curated sets like capsules, gift guides, and flash sales.
Learn how to set up the Pricing section of the product editor, from the customer-facing Price and an optional Compare-at sale price to the Cost that fills in Profit and Margin automatically.
A collection page is what a category search lands on, and two separate pieces of text decide how it reads: the description on the page itself and the search listing behind it. This covers what to write in each, how to choose the term the collection should be found for, and which of the two the admin keeps where.
A metafield definition sets up a reusable custom field on a resource - its name, data type, options, and validations. Define it once from Settings > Metafields & metaobjects, then fill the value on each resource.
Metafields add a custom field to a single resource. Metaobjects hold reusable custom data referenced by many resources. Use them to extend the standard product, customer, and order model.
Narrow the Products list to a status or stock state with the tabs above the list, combine with a name search, and save the result as a view you can reuse.
A metaobject is a reusable custom record with several fields, such as a sizing chart, an author bio, or a store location, that you define once and reference from many products and pages.
Control how a product appears in search results from the Search engine listing section: the Meta title, Meta description, URL handle, and Keywords.
A metafield is a custom field on a single resource such as a product, collection, customer, or order. Define the field once, then fill its value on each resource.
Block a gift card so it can no longer be redeemed, for a lost, compromised, or wrongly issued card. The card and its history stay, but deactivation cannot be undone, so use it deliberately.
Sell gift cards as a product with set denominations, or issue a single card directly to a customer with its own code and balance.
Add a product to your Tanqory store: write a clear title and description, upload images, set prices, track inventory, and publish it to your storefront.
Create a gift card in the admin and send it to a recipient by email. Use it for service goodwill, a refund given as store credit, comps, or gifting. The balance becomes a store liability, the same as a card a customer buys.
Apply the same change to many products at once from the Products list. Select the products, then use the one-click status buttons, the Bulk edit grid, or the More actions menu. Filtering first, so you act only on the right products, is what keeps a bulk action safe.
Create a metaobject definition - its name, its fields and their types, and the options that control drafts, translations, web pages, and API access - so you can add reusable entries that match it.
Deleting a product is permanent. This article covers what the delete dialog removes, including the variants that go with the product, the reversible alternatives worth using instead, and how to delete safely when you are certain.
Export your catalog to a CSV from the Export Products dialog. Choose how many products to include, pick the CSV format that suits the program you will open it in, and select exactly which of the 33 fields the file should carry.
What the detail page of a single gift card shows - code, status, balance, recipient, dates, customer, notes, and transaction history - and the Deactivate and Send actions.
Save a search or filter on the Products list as a named view, so you can re-apply a recurring lookup with one click instead of rebuilding it.
A smart collection fills itself using conditions you set, so any product that matches is added and future matches join on their own. You choose whether products must match all conditions or any one, then build each condition from a field, an operator, and a value. This keeps the collection up to date without hand-picking products.
The single-collection actions on a collection detail page - Duplicate, View in online store, and Delete - and what each one does.
Once a metaobject definition exists, add entries to it. Each entry is one reusable record that fills in the definition's fields, with its own status and handle.
Show, hide, and reorder the columns on the Products list from the Manage columns panel, so the list shows the fields that matter to your work.
Every field in the Tanqory product editor, grouped by section, with what each one does and which are required - a lookup for when you need to check a single field rather than walk the whole flow.
Assign a theme template to a product so its storefront page uses a different layout than the default, when your theme provides more than one template.
Find products fast by typing a product name in the search bar, narrow by status or stock with the tabs, and save a search you reuse as a view.
Set the order products appear in on a collection page. Choose Best selling, by title, by price, by date, or arrange them by hand with Manually.
Give a collection a featured image through the Collection media section of the collection form - your storefront theme then uses it to represent the collection.
Act on several gift cards at once from the Gift Cards list. Select the cards, then deactivate them or send them to their recipients in one step.
See your gift card liability and redemption state from two places: the Outstanding Gift Card Balance metric in Analytics, and the status filters on the Gift Cards page.
Add or remove tags on many products at once from the Products list. Select the products, open More actions, and choose Add tags or Remove tags. Tags drive smart collections, storefront filters, and search, so tagging in bulk keeps a whole set consistent in one pass.
A line-by-line read of the delete confirmation dialog, covering the "cannot be undone" warning and the three things deleting removes, so you know exactly what you are confirming before you press the red button.
The Theme template setting picks which storefront layout your theme uses to display a collection page. Every collection starts on Default collection, and any alternate templates your theme provides appear in the same menu.
Rename an option, reorder options and their values, add or remove values, or delete an option entirely. This article also explains how each of those changes reshapes the variant set, so you know what happens to prices and stock before you save.
Create and reuse supplier records inside Purchase Orders: company, address, and contact details for the vendors you reorder stock from.
The Products page is a dashboard. Product metrics cards and a Total products over time chart sit in one place, and you drill into per-product performance from the Reports area under Analytics.
Which product templates you can assign depends on your theme, not on Tanqory. This reference explains what a product template controls, how to see the exact templates your theme provides, and how to assign one from a product.
A collection has one page where you set everything about it: its name and description, whether it is manual or smart, the products it holds, its search listing, and where it is published. Knowing the sections helps you find what you need quickly. This is the page you edit whenever you change a collection.
