Products

The fields a product carries and which of them a shopper sees.

User guide
These guides describe implemented workflows. You still need an account and access to the product; individual features can have separate requirements.

Where: Dashboard, Catalog

  • Name and price are required. Everything else is optional and every optional field that is empty simply does not render.
  • A description is what answers the question a buyer would otherwise have to ask you.
  • Photographs: the first is the one every tile uses, and the rest fill the gallery on the product's own page.
  • Specifications are label-and-value pairs. Weight, shelf life, dimensions, whatever your trade quotes. The form suggests labels in the order a buyer decides — Fit first for clothing, Dimensions first for bedding, Allergens first for food — and you can add any label of your own.
  • Cost price is private to your business. New orders save the catalogue unit cost recorded when the order is placed, including variant and bundle component lines. Editing the product cost later does not change existing orders. A blank cost remains unknown, and older orders without a saved cost remain unknown. The current catalogue has one cost per product; it does not record a separate cost for each variant. This saved information is not shown on buyer receipts.
  • An initial stock count when you create a product, and a low-stock level. Use the separate Inventory controls to change an existing count.
  • A status: draft, published or archived. Only published products appear in your shop.

Archiving is not deleting. An archived product leaves your shop and keeps its history, so the orders that already contain it still make sense a year later.

The first thing a buyer asks. One of the suggested labels is the question your customers decide on — Fit, Ingredients, Shelf life, Light, Dimensions, MOQ, Battery life or Case diameter, depending on your trade — and the suggested labels follow the theme your shop is built on, which is why a food theme asks you for Shelf life and a clothing one asks about Fit and a gardening one asks about Light. Fill that one and your product page shows it beside the price, above the sizes and the button, with the full list of specifications further down. Leave it empty and nothing shows there; the page never invents a value for you.

A long value, such as a full ingredient list, is shown in full in the specifications with a short preview beside the price. Write steps as numbered lines — 1. Apply, 2. Leave, 3. Rinse — and they appear as a numbered list.

Grouped details are a heading with facts under it, for what a buyer reads as a set rather than one line at a time. Open a product, find Grouped details below Details, and add a group: a name, an optional one-line summary, and label-and-value rows. Three starters fill in the usual names for you — Warranty, In the box, and Manufacturer details — and you can rename or delete any row they suggest, or add a group of your own. Save grouped details on its own button; it does not change the rows under Details, and saving Details does not change your groups. A group is saved only when it has at least one row with both a label and a value; a group with just a summary is left out, and the page tells you so. A single fact on its own, such as a warranty term, goes under Details.

  • A row left blank is not saved, so a starter you added and did not fill saves nothing.
  • A group named Warranty is shown twice on the product page: as a short line beside the buy button, using its summary such as 12 months, and as its own block further down with every row you wrote. The words are yours. Kyloth does not write a warranty for you, and a product without a Warranty group shows neither.
  • Every other group appears under the specifications with its name as the heading. A product with no groups shows nothing extra.
  • An In the box group can say what is deliberately left out as well as what is included. Add a row labelled Note, such as Note: charger not included, and it is listed with the rest of the box, so a buyer reads it before ordering rather than after opening the parcel.
  • A course keeps its Syllabus instead; grouped details are offered on products that are posted or downloaded.
