Products: overview
Your products are the items you sell. You add a product in Shopify by entering details and uploading images. If your product has options, like size or color, you can add a variant for each combination of options.
When adding or updating a product, you can make it available to one or more sales channels.
You can view, add, update, and organize all of your products and variants from the Products ↗ page in Shopify admin.
