Adding products is the core of your online store. InterFunnels provides a detailed product management system to ensure you can configure every aspect of your offering. This guide will walk you through each step of the process.

Step 1: Access the Product Section

1. From your main InterFunnels dashboard, navigate to the PRODUCTS section in the left-hand sidebar.

2. Click on the "Add Product" button to begin.

Step 2: The General Tab

This is the first and most fundamental tab where you define the product's core identity.

• Product Type: Select a type (e.g., "Back Massager") to categorize your product. 

• Title, Short Description and Description: Enter the full name of your product, an attractive short description and detailed long description . These are the most important identifiers for the customers.

• Add images, video and video thumbnail to create extra attraction. 

• Set the price of your product mention the cost of the product if you want ( this detail will remain hidden from customers) Check this box ( "This product is on Sale") to create extra attraction and mention the new on sale price.

• In the end mention if the product is physical, virtual or downloadable.

Action: Click NEXT to proceed.

Step 3: The Visibility Tab

Control where and how your product appears across your store.

• Visibility Options:

  • Visible: The product is active and can be sold.

  • Catalog: The product appears in category pages and collections.

  • Search: The product appears in search results on your store.

  • Hidden: The product is active but hidden from all catalogs and searches (good for products only sold via direct link).

  • Collection: The product is only visible within the specific collections you add it to.

• Featured Product: Enable this option to feature this product prominently on your homepage or in a "Featured" section.

Action: Configure your visibility settings and click NEXT.

Step 4: The Organization Tab

This tab helps you organize your product within your store's structure, making it easier for customers to find.

• Product Category: Assign a main category for your product (e.g., "Gaming", "Consoles").

• Vendor: Specify the brand or manufacturer.

• Select Collection: Add this product to one or more existing collections (e.g., "New Arrivals", "Best Sellers").

• Tags: Add relevant tags (e.g., "4K", "wireless", "next-gen"). Tags improve internal search and filtering.

• Product Refer Link: (Optional) You can add a referral link here if applicable.

Action: Fill in the organizational data and click NEXT.

Step 5: The Inventory Tab

Manage your stock levels and product identifiers.

• SKU (Stock Keeping Unit): Enter a unique identifier for this product. This is essential for managing inventory (e.g., "PS5-DISC").

• Barcode: Enter the product's barcode number (UPC, ISBN, EAN, etc.).

• Track Quantity: Crucial setting. Enable this to track how many units you have in stock. When this is on, you will be able to set a quantity, and it will automatically decrement with each sale, preventing overselling.

Action: Enter your inventory details and click NEXT.

Step 6: The Shipping Tab

Configure how this physical product is shipped.

• Shipping Charges: Select "Yes" to calculate shipping charges for this product. You will need to have shipping rates configured in your store settings.

• Packaging Time: Select "Yes" if this product requires additional handling or packaging time before it can be shipped. This will adjust the delivery estimate for customers.

• Multiple Locations: Enable this if the product is available to be shipped from multiple fulfillment centers or locations.

Action: Configure your shipping preferences and click NEXT.

Step 7: The SEO Tab

Optimize how your product appears in search engines like Google.

• Search Engine Listing Preview: This shows a simulation of how your product might look in search results.

• Page Title: Customize the title tag for this product's page. It's good practice to include the main keyword and brand.

• Description: Write a compelling meta description. This is the short blurb that appears under the title in search results. Aim to persuade users to click.

• URL and Handle: Edit the last part of the URL (the "handle") to be clean and keyword-rich (e.g., /select-next-4k-gaming-console).

Action: Optimize your SEO fields and click NEXT.

Step 8: The Linked Products Tab (Upsells & Cross-sells)

Increase your average order value by suggesting related products.

• Up-Sells: These are premium or alternative products you suggest instead of the current one. (e.g., "While you're looking at this console, consider our premium console bundle.").

  • Select Product For Up-Sells

• Cross-Sells: These are complementary products you suggest in addition to the current one. (e.g., "People who bought this console also bought an extra controller and this game.").

  • Select Product For Cross-Sells

Action: Select products for up-selling and cross-selling to boost sales.

Step 9: Save Your Product

After configuring all tabs, you have three final options:

• NEXT: If you have more tabs or steps.

• SAVE & EXIT: This will save all your settings and return you to the products list. This is the button you will use most often.

• CANCEL: Discard all changes and exit without saving.

Click "SAVE & EXIT" to officially add your product to the store. It will now be live based on the visibility rules you set.

By meticulously filling out each tab in the product addition process, you ensure your products are not only listed but are also organized, trackable, shippable, and optimized for both customers and search engines.
