Publishing your products

For your product to display on the online store you must add a product image and publish the product. Please see the Store overview article on how to enable your online store first.

This article will detail how to publish a product, and also how you can link directly to your published products within your website.

Adding a product image

Steps

1. After you’ve created your product and saved it, you can then click Set Image. Navigate to Setup > Shopping > Products & Packages and select your product if you don’t have it in focus.

2. Upload an image from your computer

   1. Tip: You can use a free online image editor such as Canva to create a 150px x 150px image where you can upload a background and overlay any text.

3. Click Save

Linking to published products

Once your product has been created and you have marked them to be published, there are a number of links now available that can be used across your website to link directly to this product.

For example, your homepage displays an image with your First Aid online course and it has a Buy Now button under it. This Buy Now button can be linked directly to the First Aid online course by copying the Add to Cart URL where the user is redirected to their shopping cat with the item already added so they can then purchase it.

There are several links that appear on this Publish tab that can be used across your website:
