How to Add Products to Wix Website

This guide will walk you through the essential steps to set up your online store and start reaching customers. We'll cover everything from adding your first product to managing your inventory and understanding your selling options.

Adding Your First Product to Your Wix Website

The first step in selling online is showcasing what you have to offer. Adding products to your Wix website is a straightforward process. Let's break it down.

Access Your Store Manager: Log in to your Wix account and go to your website editor. In the editor, navigate to the "Store" section (it might be labeled "eCommerce" or have a shopping cart icon). Click on "Manage Products."

Add a New Product: In the "Products" tab, you'll find a button that says something like "New Product." Click on it. You'll then be prompted to choose between "Physical" and "Digital" products.

Basic Product Information: For any product type, you'll need to add essential details:

• Name: Give your product a clear and descriptive name.
• Images/Videos: Upload high-quality images or videos of your product. Multiple angles and close-ups are always a good idea.
• Description: Write a compelling and informative description highlighting the features and benefits of your product. Be specific about materials, dimensions, and any other relevant information.

Selling Physical Products on Wix

If you're selling tangible goods, you'll need to provide additional information:

• Price: Set your selling price. You can also add a "Sale" price if you're offering a discount.
• Inventory: Track your stock levels. You can specify the number of items you have in stock and set up alerts for low inventory.
• Shipping: Configure your shipping options, including weight, dimensions (if applicable), and shipping fees. You can set up different shipping rules based on location.

How to Add Digital Products to Wix

Selling digital products like ebooks, music, or software requires a slightly different approach:

• Choose "Digital Product": When adding a new product, select the "Digital" option.
• Upload Your File: You'll be prompted to upload the digital file that customers will receive after purchase. Ensure the file format is supported and the file is ready for distribution.
• Download Settings: You can often customize download limits or the time frame within which a customer can access the file.

Wix Product Customization Options

Offering customizable products can attract more customers. Wix provides options to add variations to your products, such as size, color, or material.

• Add Options: When editing a product, look for a section like "Product Options" or "Variants."
• Create Choices: Add different options (e.g., "Size") and then the specific choices within that option (e.g., "Small," "Medium," "Large").
• Manage Variations: For each variation, you can set a different price, SKU (Stock Keeping Unit), and inventory level if needed.

How to Rearrange Products on Your Wix Website

Organizing your product catalog effectively can improve the user experience. Wix allows you to easily rearrange the order in which your products are displayed in your store.

• Navigate to Your Products: Go to your Wix website editor and access the "Manage Products" section.
• Drag and Drop: In the "Products" tab, you should be able to click and drag the product listings to change their order. The new order will be reflected on your live website.
