How to quickly create a new product directly in Plytix
In Plytix there are a few ways you can go about creating new products. You can choose to do a CSV import , create a scheduled feed that imports data from a file, FTP/SFTP or Dropbox connection, send data using our public API, or manually create a new product in the PIM. This article will walk you through the steps of manually creating new products in Plytix.
Creating a Product
When you create a new product, it will be a single by default. You can then choose to keep it as a single product or link variants so that it becomes a parent.
- To create a new product, go to your Product Overview page and click ‘+ New product’
💡 You can use keyboard shortcuts to open the modal to create a new product.
2. In the popup window, add your product SKU and label.
ℹ️ Note that the SKU is a product’s unique identifier in Plytix, so it is the only required attribute. Plytix does not accept duplicate SKUs.
You also have the option to add a “Label” to your product, though it is not required. A Label is a short-text identifier for your products, which makes it easier to find them in your PIM.
You can also choose to assign this product to a Product Family, so that you only see relevant attributes for this product type when editing it in the Product Detail Page, and be able to manage consistent attribute values using automatic inheritance.
💡 If you are manually creating different products in a row, you can toggle on the option ‘Create another’ to avoid leaving the window.
3. Click ‘Create product’.
You will be redirected to the new product’s detail page, where you can access its different features.
Check out a product’s detail page in depth.
ℹ️ All attributes from the family you selected are automatically added to the product. You can filter by attribute group to customize which attributes you want to view on the page.
If your product contains multiple options or sellable versions, you can create product variants to manage them.
