Add your Products
Products are the core of Store Front. A product is what customers discover, compare, review, add to cart, and purchase. Because Store Front is built for physical goods, product setup is not only about title and price. It also needs category, brand, images, variant behavior, stock behavior, and the right connection to warehouse inventory.
If products are configured well, customers understand what they are buying and the operations team can fulfill orders without guessing. If products are configured poorly, the shop may look unfinished, checkout may fail, stock may be wrong, or warehouse teams may receive unclear order items.
In the admin portal
Go to Storefront -> Products.
The Products page shows total products, active products, low stock items, top selling item, stock, price, category, and available actions.
Product setup options
You can create products in two main ways:
- Link to an existing warehouse item when stock already exists.
- Create the product on the fly and let Ondi create the related warehouse inventory record.
The product form supports images, multilingual name and description, categories, brand, slug, tags, active status, variants, price, and warehouse inventory behavior.
Choose the product setup path based on how the business currently manages stock. If the warehouse team already receives and tracks inventory in Warehousing, link the Store Front product to an existing warehouse item. If the tenant is building the storefront first and wants Ondi to create the inventory record during product setup, use the on-the-fly path.
Recommended order
- Create categories and brands first.
- Decide whether the product already exists in the warehouse.
- Add the product name, description, images, category, brand, and price.
- Link or create the warehouse inventory record.
- Add variants only when customers need selectable options.
- Keep the product inactive until stock, price, images, and delivery behavior are ready.
What a good product needs
A good Store Front product has enough information for both the shopper and the operations team. The customer needs clear images, name, description, price, category, brand, and variant choices. The admin team needs a reliable warehouse connection, SKU or variant behavior, stock visibility, and active status.
Do not publish a product until you have confirmed that the customer-facing details and the warehouse details match the real item.
Product variants
Use variants when customers choose options such as size, color, material, model, pack size, or any other sellable version of the same product.
Each variant can have its own SKU, price, images, attributes, and warehouse item link.
Editing products
Use product editing for customer-facing catalog changes such as images, descriptions, category, brand, price, active status, and variant details. Use warehouse inventory pages for stock corrections, receiving, audits, and physical inventory movement.
Where products appear in the storefront
Products appear in product cards, category pages, search results, product detail pages, cart, checkout, order history, review pages, and customer support context. A product image or name that looks acceptable in admin may still be confusing on the customer-facing shop, so always check at least one product page before publishing.
Common mistakes to avoid
- Publishing products before stock is ready.
- Creating duplicate products instead of using variants.
- Using warehouse-only names that customers do not understand.
- Forgetting category or brand assignment.
- Adding images that are too small, cropped, or inconsistent.
- Editing stock manually in the storefront instead of using the warehouse workflow.
