Build your online store with products you would like to sell.
With Wix Stores you have the choice of a physical product that you would either ship to a customer or that they would pick up at a collection point or a digital product which would then be downloaded by your customer after purchase.
Let's start with ADDING A PHYSICAL PRODUCT to your store.
On your dashboard - select Store Products and then Products
Step 1 | Add a product image, GIF, or video
To add product media:
Go to Products in your site's dashboard.
Click +New Product.
Select Physical product.
Select an option:
Click Add Images to add images or GIFs.
Click Add Videos to add a video.
Click Upload Media to add images, GIFs, or videos and select the relevant media.
Click Add to Page.
Step 2 | Enter the basic product info
Add the basic product details, such as the product name and description.
To enter the basic product information:
Enter the product name (max. 80 characters).
(Optional) Add a ribbon by typing the ribbon name (e.g. New). Notes:
You can also select ribbons you previously created. This lets you manage your ribbons as a group.
Ribbons appear in the product gallery.
Enter a description of the product in the Description field. (maximum 8000 characters, including HTML tags)
Tips:
Click Generate AI Text to get help composing an effective product description.
When copying and pasting a description from another source, paste the text by pressing Shift +Ctrl + V on your keyboard. This removes any formatting to make sure the text displays correctly.

Step 4 | Add pricing information
In the pricing section, you can enter the product price and add a sale price. For products sold by weight, you can enter a price per unit (e.g. R0.55 / 1kg.) to help customers compare prices.
To track your profit and margins, enter a cost of goods. The profit and margins are then automatically calculated for you and appear in analytics reports.
To add pricing information:
Enter the product's base price. Tip: If you create product options, you'll be able to price them differently by adding a price increase or decrease to this price.

Cost of goods is the amount it costs for you to make or buy the product. After you enter the cost of goods, the profit and margin are calculated automatically.
The cost is not displayed to customers.
