What is product status and other definitions

Product status

When creating a new product in your store, the default status is “Published”, indicating that the product is public and is live in your store. However, if you are duplicating or unarchiving a product, the default status should be Draft, indicating that the product isn’t public.

While creating products on eCommerce admin panel, you can set 3 product statuses:

Published	This means the product details are complete and the product is ready to be sold.
Draft	This means the product details need to be completed before it can be sold.
Hidden	This means the product details are complete, but the product is no longer for sale. Archiving a product hides it from your admin and any customers.

Product tags

Product tags are more specific than product collections and often serve as keywords or descriptors directly associated with a product. Tags are typically used to provide more granular and specific information about a product, enabling users to search, filter, or group items based on specific attributes or characteristics.

Example: If we consider a clothing store, a product collection might be “Men’s clothing,” while tags associated with individual products within that collection could be “t-shirt,” “jeans,” “sweater,” or “formal wear.” These tags help in organizing products within their respective collections and provide more specific information about the nature or style of each item.

When you create a product tag, a unique URL is generated for each product tag.

Add tags to products

• You can create tag on the right side of the product creation page.
• Simply enter the desired tags in the provided field and press the “Enter” key to add them.

Setting product weight

Located on the right side of the product creation page, within the shipping section, you’ll find the weight field. Within this field, you can select the appropriate unit of measurement (g, kg, oz, lb) and enter the corresponding numerical value.

The weight you provide plays a vital role in calculating accurate shipping rates for customers during the checkout process. Additionally, it ensures that appropriate pricing labels are generated during fulfilment, allowing for seamless and efficient order processing.
