# Products
To manage your products, navigate to SHOP -> Catalog and select Products. Once you have added products to your shop, this is where you will find them listed.
On the products page you can edit 
, delete 
, copy 
or add 
products. You can also Import 
or Export products 
.
Note
When you import products, all the product information in your shop is updated according to what is specified in your import document. So, if you import the same products that you already have in your shop and which you’ve edited manually or even deleted, the import function will overwrite any such changes with the details from your import document and you may end up having to enter the same changes again. Because of this you should of course be careful with what your import document contains.
By default, your Products page displays product Name, Type, stock-keeping unit or SKU and URL columns. To see more columns on the Products index page, click View options 
, check the boxes for data that you would like to see in your products page, and all the columns you select will appear in the page header.

# Add new product
Before adding a new product to your shop, you should first prepare the following sections:
- Categories
- Brands
- Product Group (only if it is different from Default one or if you will add products with variations)
- Taxation rules (only if any special taxation rules will be applied to added products)
- Attributes and attribute groups (only if you wish to add additional ones besides default)
Note
New attribute groups can always be added on the spot when adding a new product.
- Navigate to the Shop section in your DG1 platform, select Catalog and click Products.
- Click Add product to add a new product.
Note
New users, adding the first product to their shop, are redirected to the Add new product page to enter the product details, described below under step 4.
- Select product type and click Add new
.
As each product requires a lot of information before it can be added to your shop, it is worth spending some extra time to get familiarized with all the product details fields. The details you provide change the way a product is displayed and help your customers find the product. They also make it easier for you to organize your products. You do not have to provide every detail for each product but the more the merrier.
- Below is a detailed overview of all the product details in tabs on the Add new product page:

# Attributes tab
To add attributes for your product, you must first create and group them. To learn how to create and manage them, see Attributes.
- To save the product, click Submit . The product will be saved and added to your Products index page.
# Add product with variations
Products sold in a variety of options such as different colors and sizes are called variations of a specific product. You might have also heard of the expression variant instead of variation. If you sell a T-shirt in three different sizes (small, medium, and large) and in two colors (red and black), you essentially have 6 variations of the same product, with one variation being a medium red T-shirt.
- Add all the attributes
- Create a product group
- Add attributes to an attribute group
- Add the default and variation products
- Go to Settings -> Attributes in your DG1 admin panel and click Add
in the top right corner.
Choose either Select or Select with image when you wish to show your customers available colors, sizes, or any other different options to choose from.
When adding the Select with image attribute, make sure you have an image for each option already prepared (in our case color), so you can upload it to your file selector. Click Add option and add the image with the color of your product. Do that for as many colors as you wish. Click Submit to save the new attribute.
Another attribute that you might want to prepare is Size, as shown in the example below, or diameter e.g. 30, 50, 70 cm.
- Once you’ve created all the attributes you need, navigate to Shop -> Catalog -> Products and click Product groups to create a new Product group.
For your products to be displayed as variations, it is very important that you set the group type to Variation in the pop-up window and click Add new.
On the Add new product group page you should first name the group of products with variation (example: T-shirt) and then choose Variation attributes under Variation Settings. (Example: T-shirt size, color etc.). Once you’ve selected all the variation attributes you want, click Submit to create a new product group.
Note
You can set up to 3 different variation attributes for each product.
- The next step is to add your attributes to an Attribute group. To do this, navigate to Settings -> Attributes -> Attribute groups and click Add in the top right corner of the page. Enter the name of your new attribute group, choose a Subtype/Group (the product group that you’ve prepared in the second step) and select the attributes that belong to this attribute group – in our case the color and size attributes that we’ve prepared in the first step.
Note
You can also create a new Attribute group on the fly when adding a product to your Catalog.
If the attributes are already used in another attribute group, they will be marked with the red color. If you still decide to use these same attributes, they will be then moved to this new group. This essentially means that you have to prepare a separate set of attributes for each product you want to sell in variations.
- Once you have all the right attributes and groups ready, go to SHOP -> Catalog -> Products and click Add product .
Select the Type of product you wish to add and the Product group to which it will be added (in our case the product type is Variation and the product group is T-shirt) and click Add new .
On the upper right-hand side of the Add new product page you should see "Type Variation" and "Group T-shirt". You will notice that the page for adding a variation product mostly has the same settings as you would see for setting a simple product, with the addition of the Variation settings tab.
- Insert all the general data about your product in the Product info tab and upload images and videos. Be sure to also place the product in its category, by checking the box next to its name in the CATEGORIES section on the right. For a detailed overview of general product settings, see chapter Add new product.
- Next, open the Variation settings tab. The first product that you add for variation should be your default product, so be sure to check the box next to the Make this the default product
. With all subsequent or variation products, leave the box unchecked and click Select default product 
to associate the variation product with the default product. - Move on to the Attributes tab and select the attributes for this specific product, making sure they are all variation parameters (color, sizes etc.).
Note
If you decided to skip step 3 above, this is where you can create the attribute group on the fly by clicking the Add attribute group 
- When you have entered all the needed details about your product, click Submit to save your main, default product.
- To add variations to your main product, you must add a new product for each variation. The easiest way to do this is if you Copy the default product on your Products page and change the values in the Attributes tab and Variation settings tab i.e., unselect the checkbox of the Make this the default product option and Select default product to which you are adding a variation.
Note
When you copy a product, remember to also pick the correct category in the CATEGORIES menu on the right and upload any images/videos of the copied product.
For a product that sells in 3 colors and 3 sizes you must add a total of 9 products, each with its respective size and color. In the front end all 9 products will appear as ONE but will change according to the options selected by your shop’s visitors. The product picker with colors in circles will only appear when you use the Select with image attribute type.
