Products overview & the product editor tabs

Updated Jun 3, 2026 Products & Catalog

Everything about a single product — its name, price, stock, images, variations, shipping and more — is edited in one place: the TitanCart product editor. This guide is a map of that editor: where to find your products, the three statuses a product can have, and what each tab is for, with links to the in-depth guides for the bigger features.

1. Where products live

Go to Products → Products for the full list. From here you can search and filter, open any product to edit it, or click New Product to create one. Every product has a product code (its unique identifier) shown in the list alongside its price, stock and status.

Tip: The list also supports Bulk Edit — select several products and change shared fields (price, status, stock settings and more) in one go, which is the fastest way to make the same change across many products. A few settings, such as allowing backorders, are only available through Bulk Edit.

2. Product status: Published, Draft, Inactive

Every product has one of three statuses, set on the General tab:

Published — live and visible on the storefront.
Draft — hidden from the storefront while you work on it. Use this for products that aren’t ready to sell yet.
Inactive — switched off entirely.

Only Published products appear to shoppers, so a new product won’t show up until you set it to Published and save.

3. The General tab

General is the main tab and the one you’ll use most. It’s organised into collapsible sections:

Information — the basics: product name, the full description, and the categories the product belongs to.
Pricing / inventory — the product code, the price and list (compare-at) price, the In stock quantity and Track inventory switch, and the minimum / maximum / step order quantities.
Price per unit — optional unit pricing (for example, price per 100 g) shown alongside the product price.
Availability — what happens when the product is out of stock, plus availability dates.
Extra — a short description plus additional flags such as marking the product Featured or age-restricted, and whether it’s a digital download.

For the detail behind these, see Inventory & stock control (stock, availability and out-of-stock behaviour), Wholesale & bulk pricing (order quantities), Categories, tags & product filters (categories), and Product types (the digital/downloadable flag).

4. Save once to unlock the rest of the tabs

When you first create a product, you’ll see only a handful of tabs — General, SEO, Bulk Buys and Tags. That’s deliberate: tabs like Attributes, Options and Shipping need the product to exist first (they attach data to it), so they appear only after you save the product once. Fill in the basics, click Save, and reopen the product — the full set of tabs is now there.

Note: If a tab you expect is missing even on a saved product, it’s usually because the feature behind it is switched off under Extensions — see the next section.

5. The full tab list

Here’s what every tab does. Tabs marked (after first save) appear only once the product has been saved; tabs marked (extension) appear only while that feature is enabled under Extensions.

General — the core product details (section 3 above).
SEO (extension) — the product’s URL, page title, meta description and a Google rich-snippets preview. Shown while the SEO extension is on.
Bulk Buys — “buy more, save more” tiered pricing by quantity. See Wholesale & bulk pricing.
Tags — free-form labels for the product. See Categories, tags & product filters.
Attributes (after first save) — assign attribute values like Colour or Material, including variation and filter attributes. See Options vs. Attributes.
Product Group (after first save, extension) — group separate-product variations (e.g. each size as its own product). Shown while the Product Variations feature is on. See Product variations & combinations.
Options (after first save) — selectable add-ons that can change the price, like gift wrap or engraving. See Options vs. Attributes.
Shipping (after first save) — weight, dimensions, free-shipping and per-product shipping settings.
Tabs (after first save) — extra content tabs (specs, care instructions) that show on the product page.
Waitlist (after first save) — the list of shoppers who asked to be notified when an out-of-stock product returns. See Inventory & stock control.
Bundles (after first save, extension) — “Buy Together” bundles that include this product. Shown while the Bundles feature is on. See Product Bundles.
Downloads (after first save, digital only) — the files delivered for a digital product. Appears when the product is marked digital/downloadable. See Product types.
Subscription (after first save, extension) — recurring-billing plans for the product. Shown while the Subscriptions extension is active. See Subscriptions & Recurring.

Note: Product reviews aren’t a tab in the editor — customers leave them on the storefront and you moderate them under Products → Product Reviews. See Product reviews.

Troubleshooting

My new product has only four tabs. That’s expected — Attributes, Options, Shipping and the rest unlock after you save the product once. Save it, then reopen.
A tab is missing even after saving. The feature behind it is probably off. Check Extensions for SEO, Product Variations, Bundles or Subscriptions; the Downloads tab appears only when the product is marked digital.
My product isn’t on the storefront. Its status must be Published. Drafts and Inactive products are hidden from shoppers.
I want to change the same field on lots of products. Use Bulk Edit from the Products list rather than opening each product.
Where did the Reward Points tab go? Reward-point earning is now set per customer group under Growth → Loyalty Rewards, not per product, so there’s no longer a per-product tab for it.
