Creating A New Product

When on the main Products page in the Weebly Store manager, there will be an option in the upper left to Add Product.

Clicking the Add Product button will show a new page where you can input information about the product.

Product Name – This is the name that your product will identify with your Customers and be shown on the site.
Short Description – This is a brief description of the product or service. Such as what is included or other information the Customer may be pleased to know.
Product Type – This is the type of product that you are offering your Customer. The possible options are Physical Goods, Service, and Digital goods. Digital Good requires that the plan be upgraded to a more advanced Weebly license.
Price – This will be the normal price listed on the product and billed to your Customers.
Sale Price – If you want to have a sale or decide to lower the price and want it to be more known. The Sale Price allows you to set an alternative price that will overwrite the other written in Pricing. (If On Sale Badge is toggled, it will be more noticeable when set)
Weight – This is an optional field. However, it is required when setting up Shipping. This can be set in whichever units you would prefer as per your Store settings.
SKU – This stands for Stock-Keeping Unit. This is a unique code and can be used to track products for inventory purposes. This field is optional.
Inventory – This allows you to track the inventory of this particular product so that you do not oversell what you have. This also helps to see how in-demand a certain product is.
Taxes – With this, if you have Taxes set up with your store (Requires Premium Weebly), selecting the Tax Exempt option will make the Product not comply with your existing Tax Rules.
Visibility – This is the visibility of the product on your site. By default, it will be Visible. However, if set as Hidden, only those who have the link will purchase the Product. If set as Unavailable, no one will be able to purchase the Product from your site.
Product Images – This allows you to set up and upload your products' images to show your Customers what the Product or Service looks like.
Advanced Options – This allows you to set SEO-related information about the product page. This is optional, as if left blank, it will use the Product name and description for this.
Product Rating – This Allows you to see Reviews and ratings that have been written about the product. If this is a new product, there will be no Ratings.
Categories – This allows you to select Categories that your product goes under. This can be used to separate your products into subtypes. For example, with a Clothing store, you may want to separate Shirts and Pants.

At the bottom of the Add Product page, you can specify multiple product options. This allows easy creation of multiple products that only have a slight difference, such as size or color. Using this will keep them on the same product page, however.

Input Type – This is how the options will appear on the Product's page. With the Text Input, you can have special requests from your Customers. This can be used, for example, with engraving or adding personal flair to your product.
Option Title – This is a title shown to the Customer and visible on your end, usually enough to let you know what the options are affecting.
Option Choices – If selecting an Input Type allows the Customer to select an option, you can input the possible options that they can choose from here, separated by a comma.

When adding any options you want for your product, you can click Save to save the changes. If you are done filling out the Product information, clicking the Blue Save button will save the Product to your Weebly. Clicking the Save and View option will Save the Product then take you to a page that will show what the product page of this particular product will appear like to your Customers.

Editing A Product

Editing A Category

When you want to edit a Category, it is a similar process to adding a category. You can select the category you want from the list on the Main Categories page. It will take you to the page where you will edit all the information about that Category, including products.

Gift Cards

Selecting the Edit Details button will allow you to customize and make the options more specific to your store, including the pricing increments that you allow Gift Cards to be purchased, as well as the Description that goes along with them.

Add Gift Cards to Your Store

Product Name – This will be what you want to name the Gift card. You can set this to be anything you want.
Short Description – This can be a simple description that the Gift Card recipient will receive when it is purchased. You can make this a tagline to purchase products in your Store.
Categories – As the Gift Card is just another Product, it can be added to a Category if needed.
Product Images – Images that show what can be done with the Gift Card. These are not required. However, it is recommended to prevent the default image from showing.
Advanced Options – allows you to customize the SEO of the Gift Card's Product page.
Product Rating – This is how your Gift Card has been rated if you have enabled Reviews.

At the bottom of the Edit page for the Gift Cards, you will be able to set the Amounts, and if needed, the SKU of each gift card type.

When finished, clicking the Save button in the upper right will save the changes made to the Gift Cards.

Product Reviews

With the Weebly store, if you have upgraded to a more premium version, you will utilize the Product Reviews feature. This allows your Customers to leave reviews on your products that can provide you with powerful feedback. Under Review Options, there is also a dropdown for how long after a customer orders a product that you email them asking for a review. This email can be modified in the Store Emails tab.
