Adding your first product

This walkthrough covers the minimum fields needed to publish a product that a customer can add to the cart and purchase.

Open the product editor

In the WordPress admin go to TitanCart → Products → Add New. The editor opens with twelve tabs down the left side. For your first product you only need three of them.

The General tab

Fill in the fields at the top:

• Name — the public product title, shown on the storefront.
• Product Code — the internal identifier (sometimes called SKU in other systems). Any unique string. If you leave this blank TitanCart will generate one on save.
• Price — the current selling price. Leave list price empty unless you want to display a strike-through “was” price.
• Status — set to Active to make the product visible on the storefront. Draft and Hidden both keep the product out of public listings.
• Description and Short description — rich text, same editor you are used to in WordPress.
• Categories — pick at least one. If you have no categories yet, click Add new category inline or create one at TitanCart → Categories first.

The Images tab

Upload a main image and optionally additional gallery images. The first image in the list becomes the main thumbnail on category pages and the hero image on the product page. Drag to reorder.

The SEO tab

These fields are optional for a first publish but worth filling for any product you plan to drive traffic to.

• Meta title — appears in the browser tab and Google SERP. Keep under 60 characters.
• Meta description — appears under the title in Google. Keep under 160 characters.
• URL slug — auto-generated from the product name if you leave it blank.

Save and view on the storefront

Click Save. The editor stays open and gives you a View on storefront link at the top. Click it to see the live product page exactly as a customer will.

Tip: if you plan to sell physical items later, also fill the Shipping tab (weight + dimensions) and set the Stock quantity in the General tab. If you are selling a digital download, tick Digital product in the Pricing section — this automatically bypasses stock tracking and shipping calculation.

The other nine tabs

You can ignore these until you need them. In brief:

• Bulk Buys — quantity-based tier pricing (buy 5 for 10% off).
• Tags — free-form labels for filtering and related-product logic.
• Reward Points — per-product loyalty overrides.
• Options — paid add-ons like gift wrap or engraving.
• Attributes — filterable specs (colour, size, brand).
• Product Group — link separate products that should share a product page (different colours of the same shirt, for example).
• Waitlist — customer subscribers for back-in-stock notifications.
• Tabs — custom content tabs on the product page (specs, warranty, shipping info).
• Bundles — sell multiple products together at a bundle price.
