Adding a New Product

Step 0 of 6 completed
1
Navigate to Products & Click Add New

In the WordPress admin sidebar, click Products to see your existing product list. From here, click the Add New button at the top of the page (or use Products → Add New directly from the sidebar). This opens the product editor where you’ll fill in all the details for your new product.

Navigate to Products & Click Add New
Pro Tip
You can also duplicate an existing product if the new one is similar — hover over a product in the list and click 'Duplicate'.
2
Enter the Product Name & Description

At the top of the product editor, enter your product name in the title field — this is what customers will see on your shop page. Below it is the main description editor where you can add a detailed product description with formatting, images, and links. This long description typically appears on the product’s individual page.

Enter the Product Name & Description
Pro Tip
Keep your product name clear and descriptive. Include key details customers search for, like size or material.
3
Set Pricing in the Product Data Panel

Scroll down to the Product data panel. On the General tab, enter the Regular price — this is the standard selling price. If you’re running a promotion, you can also set a Sale price with optional start and end dates by clicking ‘Schedule’. The product type dropdown at the top lets you choose between Simple, Grouped, External/Affiliate, or Variable products.

Set Pricing in the Product Data Panel
Pro Tip
Leave the sale price blank if the product isn't on sale — only fill it in when you're running a promotion.
4
Set the Product Image

On the right-hand side of the editor, find the Product image box. Click Set product image to open the Media Library. You can upload a new image or select an existing one. This is the main image shown on the shop page and at the top of the product page. Below it, you can also add a Product gallery with additional images.

Set the Product Image
Pro Tip
Use high-quality, consistently sized images. Square images (e.g. 800×800px) work best for most WooCommerce themes.
5
Assign Categories & Tags

In the right-hand sidebar, find the Product categories box. Tick the categories this product belongs to — you can assign it to multiple categories. Below that, use the Product tags box to add relevant tags (like ‘sale’, ‘new arrival’, or ‘bestseller’). Categories and tags help customers browse and filter your products.

Assign Categories & Tags
Pro Tip
Keep your category structure simple and logical — too many nested categories can confuse customers.
6
Publish Your Product

Once you’ve filled in all the details, use the Publish box in the top-right corner. You can set the Status (Published or Draft), Visibility (Public, Password protected, or Private), and the publish date. When you’re ready, click the blue Publish button to make the product live on your store. You can always come back and edit it later.

Publish Your Product
Pro Tip
Save as Draft first if you want to preview the product before making it live.
