Add, Edit and Manage Products in Dash to Cart

The Products section lets you manage everything customers see and buy from your Dash to Cart storefront.

From here, you can add new products, update existing listings, control product visibility, manage product images and variants, monitor stock, and connect related products to improve discovery.

To access this section, select Products from the left-hand navigation menu.

The main Products page displays your existing product catalogue.

Each product card can show information such as:

• Product image
• Product name
• Number of variants
• Visibility status
• Featured status, where applicable
• Created date
• Last updated date
• Product type
• Visit Product Page
• Edit
• Delete

You can also use the Search products field to find a specific product.

At the top of the page, you can access:

• Media Library: Manage product media used across your store.
• Import: Access the product import function.
• Add Product: Create a new product manually.

You can control whether a product appears to customers without deleting it.

On the Products page:

1. Locate the product.
2. Click the visibility dropdown.
3. Select either Visible or Hidden

Visible: The product can appear on your storefront and be accessed by customers.

Hidden: The product is hidden from customers without being permanently deleted.

This is useful when you want to temporarily remove a product from sale while keeping its information available in your dashboard.

To see how a product appears on your storefront:

1. Find the product on the Products page.
2. Click Visit Product Page.

This opens the customer-facing product page.

Use this after making changes to check how the product appears to shoppers.

To update a product:

1. Go to Products.
2. Find the product you want to change.
3. Click Edit.
4. The Edit Product window opens.
5. Make the required changes.
6. Click Save Product.

You can update information including:

• Product name
• Featured status
• Hidden status
• Short description
• Full description
• Media
• Tags

Products can also be permanently deleted.

To delete a product:

1. Go to Products.
2. Find the product.
3. Click Delete.
4. A Delete Product confirmation window appears.
5. Confirm by clicking Delete Product.

Important: Product deletion cannot be undone.

If you only want to temporarily remove the product from your storefront, consider setting it to Hidden instead.

To create a product:

1. Go to Products.
2. Click Add Product.
3. The Add Product window opens.
4. Complete the product information.
5. Configure the required variants and inventory.
6. Click Create Product.

The form is divided into several sections.

Enter the product name in the Name field. This is the display name customers will see for the product.

Use a clear and recognisable name that accurately describes the item.

Under Type, select the type of product you are selling. The available options shown are:

• Physical
• Digital

Physical: Physical products require fulfilment and shipping.

Digital: Digital products are delivered electronically.

Select the type that matches how the product will be fulfilled.

Use the Featured toggle to highlight a product on your storefront.

When enabled, Dash to Cart marks the product as featured.

This can be useful for:

• Bestsellers
• New launches
• Seasonal products
• Promotional items
• Products you want to give greater prominence

The Hidden toggle allows you to hide a product from customers without deleting it.

You may want to enable this while:

• Preparing a new listing
• Updating product information
• Waiting for stock
• Preparing a future launch

You can make the product visible later.

Enter a brief summary in the Short Description field. The interface describes this as a summary that highlights the key features or benefits of the product.

A strong short description should quickly explain what the product is and why it is relevant to the shopper.

The Full Description section provides a rich-text editor for more detailed product information.

The editor supports formatting tools for content such as:

• Headings
• Paragraphs
• Bullet lists
• Numbered lists
• Bold
• Italics
• Underlining
• Links
• Images
• Other rich-text formatting

This gives you more flexibility to present product features, specifications and benefits.

The rich-text editor includes an AI-assisted Continue writing function.

To use it:

1. Click inside the Full Description editor.
2. Type / to open the command menu.
3. Select Continue writing.
4. Allow the AI to generate or continue the content.

The same command menu also provides formatting options such as headings, bullet lists, numbered lists, blockquotes and code blocks.

AI can help speed up content creation, but you should review generated copy before publishing it.

Under Media, click Choose Files to upload images.

The interface supports:

• PNG
• JPEG

You can upload multiple images to showcase the product. Uploaded images can also be dragged to change their order.

The order is important because it determines how your product imagery is presented.

Dash to Cart includes an Enhance with AI feature for uploaded product images.

To use it:

1. Upload a product image.
2. Click the AI enhancement icon on the image.
3. The Enhance with AI section opens.
4. Enter your instruction or prompt.
5. Click Generate.

The system then generates polished square image variants.

Generation may take some time, and the interface allows you to continue completing the rest of the product form while the images are being created.

Once the AI-generated image options appear:

1. Review the generated variants.
2. Select the images you want to keep.
3. Selected images appear under AI-enhanced images to add on save.
4. Continue completing the product.
5. Save or create the product.

You can also use Generate more if you want additional variations. This lets you improve product imagery directly during the product creation process.

The Tags field lets you add keywords that help customers find your product.

Tags can describe characteristics such as:

• Product category
• Intended audience
• Product function
• Use case
• Material
• Style
• Features
• Benefits

Enter tags and confirm them individually.

The Tags field also supports AI-assisted generation. The interface indicates that you can type ... to generate tags with AI.

Once generated, you can automatically add suggested SEO tags to the product.

For example, a children's sunscreen product may generate tags relating to:

• Kids
• Children
• Sunscreen
• SPF
• Sun protection
• Sensitive skin
• Hypoallergenic
• Water resistance
• Everyday use

Review AI-generated tags to make sure they accurately describe the product.

The Variants section allows you to configure different versions of the same product.

Variants may be based on options such as:

• Size
• Colour
• Skin type
• Style
• Model
• Capacity
• Other product-specific attributes

Click Setup in the Variants section to configure them.

When you click Setup, the Variant Options window opens. You can create a variant group and add values beneath it.

For example:

Group: Skin Type

Values:

• Dry
• Oily
• Sensitive

Click Save Changes when finished. Dash to Cart then creates individual variants based on those options.

The Variant Options window includes an Option control for creating additional option groups. This can be used for products that require more than one type of selection.

For example, depending on the product, you may need combinations such as:

• Size
• Colour
• Style

Configure only the options that are relevant to the product.

Each generated variant can have its own information. The screenshots show fields for:

• Price
• Sale price
• Stock
• SKU
• Description
• Photo
• Dimensions
• Weight
• Availability

This means each variant can be managed independently. For example, the Dry, Oily and Sensitive versions of a product can each have their own stock level, image and SKU.

Enter the normal selling price in the Price field. Each variant can have its own price.

Make sure the value reflects what customers should normally pay for that specific product or variant.

Use the Sale price field when a product or variant is being sold at a promotional price. This allows you to distinguish the normal price from the discounted selling price.

The Stock field controls the available inventory for each variant. You can increase or decrease the quantity using the controls beside the stock value.

Keeping stock levels accurate helps prevent unavailable products from being sold.

Each variant can have its own SKU. SKU stands for Stock Keeping Unit. Using unique SKUs can help you organise:

• Inventory
• Order fulfilment
• Product variants
• Internal product tracking

Where possible, assign a unique SKU to each variant.

The Description field allows you to provide variant-specific information. This can help distinguish variants when there are meaningful differences beyond the variant name itself.

Each variant can have its own image. Click Add photo beside the relevant variant. If a variant already has an image, options may include:

• Change photo
• Reset photo

Variant-specific images are particularly useful where the customer needs to visually distinguish between options.

If a particular variant should not currently be offered, click Mark unavailable. This allows you to disable one variant without removing the entire product.

For example, if the Oily variant is temporarily unavailable but Dry and Sensitive remain in stock, you can disable only the affected variant.

Physical products support dimensions. The screenshots show fields for:

• Length
• Width
• Height
• Unit

Enter accurate measurements where applicable. These details can support fulfilment and shipping-related workflows.

After the product has been created, variant management also includes a Weight field with a corresponding unit selector.

Enter the appropriate weight for each physical variant where required.

After completing the required information:

1. Review the product details.
2. Review uploaded and AI-enhanced images.
3. Check your tags.
4. Confirm variant options.
5. Check pricing.
6. Confirm stock quantities.
7. Review dimensions and other fulfilment information.
8. Click Create Product.

A product-creation progress indicator may appear while Dash to Cart processes the product.

After creating a product, Dash to Cart provides a dedicated product-management page.

The page displays information such as:

• Product images
• Product name
• Visibility
• Number of variants
• Short description

It also includes three main tabs:

You can also access Visit Product Page or Edit from this page.

The Details tab provides an overview of the product. Information shown can include:

The Variants tab gives you direct access to each variant. From here, you can manage:

• Stock
• SKU

• Dimensions
• Weight
• Images
• Availability

After changing a variant, click Save Variant. You can also use Setup to change the underlying variant options.

The Relations tab allows you to connect related products.

Related products can help customers discover complementary or relevant items from within your catalogue.

Existing related products are displayed in this section. You can also remove a relation using the delete control beside the relevant product.

To add related products:

1. Open the product.
2. Select the Relations tab.
3. Click Add.
4. The Add Related Product window opens.
5. Search or browse your products.
6. Select the products you want to link.
7. Review the selected products.
8. Click Add Selected.

The selected products will then appear under Related Products.

The Add Related Product window includes a search bar. Use it when you have a larger catalogue and want to quickly locate a specific item.

Pagination controls are also available when there are multiple pages of products.
