Adding a product in Shoopy — Shoopy knowledge base

Adding a product lists a new item on your store. You open Catalog → Products, click Add Product, pick a product type, fill a short form, and save. The form guides you with a live Readiness checklist.

To add variants after the product is live, see Shoopy product variants. For the admin layout, see A tour of the Shoopy admin panel.

Before you begin

Sign in at web.shoopy.in. For details, see Logging in with OTP.
Your role must allow catalogue edits. Owner, Admin, Catalog Manager, Location Admin, Billing Manager, and Marketing Manager can add products.
New terms? Check the Glossary of Shoopy terms.

Where to find it

From the sidebar, click Catalog → Products. The product list opens. Click the Add Product button at the top-right, and the form opens on a new screen.

Pick a product type first

The form starts with a Product Type selector. Pick the type that matches your item:

Simple — A single item, optionally with variants. For example, a tee in three sizes. This is the default and covers most products.
Bundle / Kit — Multiple different items sold together as one unit. For example, a hamper with three distinct products.
Multipack — Packs of the same item. For example, a “box of 12” version of a single product.

You can change the type later by editing the product, but picking the right type upfront keeps the catalogue clean.

Shoopy add product form showing Product Type tabs (Simple, Bundle / Kit, Multipack), Basic Details on the left with Name, Categories, Unit, and Summary, and Visibility, SEO, and Readiness cards on the right

Layout of the form

The form uses a two-column layout:

Left column: Basic Details — Images, Name, Categories, Unit, Summary, and Description.
Right column: Visibility, SEO, and Readiness — Show-online toggle, SEO fields, and a live checklist of what’s left to fill.

Scroll the left column for the product itself and glance right for status.

Required fields

Only two fields are required:

Field	Type	Notes
Name	Text	The display name shoppers see. Marked with an asterisk.
Sale Price	Number	The price customers pay. Uses your store currency.

The Readiness card on the right ticks each item as you fill it. The footer shows “1 required field missing” until all are in, and the Save Product button stays disabled until Readiness is green.

Basic Details

The Basic Details card holds the core information:

Product Images — Up to 6 images by default; higher plans allow more. Drag thumbnails to reorder. The first image is the main shot.
Name (required) — Short and searchable. For example, “Gulab Jamun Kulfi”.
Categories — Click to pick one or more. Selected categories appear as chips.
Unit — Dropdown of measuring units like Pieces, Kg, or Litre.
Summary — A short one-or-two-line pitch for the product.
Description — Full rich-text story. A Generate button can draft it from the Name.

Pricing

Pricing has three related fields:

Sale Price (required) — What the shopper pays.
MRP (optional) — List price, shown crossed out. Shoopy enforces MRP ≥ Sale Price.
Purchase Price (optional) — Your cost price, for margin reports. It is not shown to shoppers.

A Tax-inclusive toggle sits next to Sale Price — flip it if your price already includes tax.

For tax rules and HSN codes, see Pricing, MRP, tax, and HSN in Shoopy.

Inventory and identifiers

These fields are optional but useful:

Quantity — Stock count for this product.
Barcode — Scan-ready code for your POS.
HSN — Tax classification code (India).
Brand — Helpful for shopper filters and SEO.
Weight — Used by shipping rules to compute rates.
Min / Max Quantity — Cap how many a shopper can buy at once.
Dimensions (L×W×H, cm) — Used by shipping rates.

Some fields appear only if your store settings enable them. If you don’t see Brand or HSN, your store may have them turned off.

Visibility and SEO

The right column holds two small but important cards.

Visibility

Show online — Toggle on to publish the product on your storefront. Off hides it even after save.

SEO

SEO Title — The tab title shown by Google. If left blank, Shoopy uses the product name.
URL Handle — The slug in the product URL. For example, desert-ice-cream. Shoopy pre-fills this from the Name.
SEO Description — The meta description Google shows in results.

A good SEO Title plus a tight SEO Description lifts your product in search. For a deeper guide, see Product SEO in Shoopy.

The Readiness checklist

The Readiness card on the right is your live pre-save checklist. Each required field ticks green as you fill it:

✅ Product name — ticks when you type a Name.
○ Sale price — ticks when you set a Sale Price.

Watch this card to know when Save Product will unlock. The form footer says “1 required field missing” until every Readiness item is green.

Save and what happens next

Click Save Product. Shoopy creates the item and returns you to the Products list, where your new product appears at the top with its type badge.

After save, you can:

Open the product to edit any field.
Add variants (like size or color) via the variant editor. See Shoopy product variants.
Clone the product for similar items. See Clone a Shoopy product.
Toggle Show online from the product page to hide or publish.

Plan-gated fields

A few fields are tied to plan tier:

Field	Plan required
Youtube URL (video)	Basic and above
Payment Mode (COD/Prepaid override)	Professional and above

If you see a “Paid” badge next to a field, your plan doesn’t include it. Upgrade from Account → Plans to unlock it.

Tips

Pick the product type first. Switching later takes extra clicks.
Use the Readiness card as your guide — you know exactly what’s missing.
Set MRP and Sale Price together so shoppers see a clear discount.
Use short names. For example, “Kulfi Malai 100ml” beats “Our Special Malai Kulfi 100ml Pack of One”.
Edit the URL Handle for better SEO. Pre-filled slugs work fine, but shorter ones rank cleaner.

Troubleshooting

The Save Product button stays disabled

Check the Readiness card on the right and fill whichever items show ○. Name and Sale Price are always required.

My product isn’t showing on the storefront

The Show online toggle in the Visibility card may be off. Turn it on and save. Newly added products can also take a minute to appear on the live store.

I can’t see fields like Brand or HSN

Your store settings have those fields turned off. Ask your owner to enable them under Settings → Catalog.

I don’t see the Add Product button

Your role may lack catalogue permission. Ask the store owner to assign a catalogue-capable role under Online Store → Users & Roles.

I picked the wrong product type

Open the product and switch the type from the edit view. Some type switches (e.g., Simple → Bundle) may ask you to re-map details, so pick carefully the first time.
