This guide will show you how to create a product range and also variations within the tool we have in the product section, This method is good if you are wanting to create a few products.

To create a range, you first need to be in the Products section of your Admin Centre.

At the top of the new screen, look for the Add Range option.

An internal window will open to help you name your Product Range.
​
The Range title shouldn't relate to one product but rather a group of products and although a SKU will auto generate, this can amended and we recommend adding "RNG_" to the beginning of this SKU to make sure its obvious that this is an range SKU and not a variation SKU.
​

Once you have created a range, you will need to decide which options can be selected against the variations

This is important as often a range/multi listing would differentiate on an option e.g. (size, colour etc...)

To return to our earlier range examples, your blankets would benefit from a colour option, whereas, something like knitting needles may not.

To select which options you’ll use, click in the tick box to the left of the Option name. If the option will be used in a multi listing and you wish to offer a dropdown to choose between different (sizes, colours etc...) then also select the Show as dropdown box.

if you wish to add a new option, you can do so by using the option creating section on the right, create new option/attribute type

The master option is necessary to place the product in its correct part of the database. Any option can be selected as the master option, but there must be a value in this option for every product.

Once the range is created, you will then have the ability to add a variation. This can be done by pressing the 'add variations' option

It will then present you with a product wizard tool where you can look at populating information against the product

You can press the 'create SKU' option which will create an SKU at random if you do not want to input one manually, remember, this must be unique

The 'Use Barcode' option can be used to fetch a barcode from your pool which you would need to do prior to using this function, we have a guide on this if you wish to learn more. You can always leave this blank and add one later.

HS Codes are UK government provided codes which identify products for international shipping. You can use the UK government website to find which one is most appropriate for your product. You can always leave this blank and/or add one later.

Hit the 'next' option once you are happy with the information filled out and this will present you with the next page of information

If you have select options to be added to the product range then after the creation of the variation you will be prompted to add values to those options.
​
In our example we added 3 options; Category (Master), colour and WooCategory1
​
once you have clicked into the open space to enter an option, within the Manage Options pop-up you can either select from a list of pre existing option values or type in something new to create a new option value.
​

Multipacks should be used for any listing that contains multiple quantities of a product, or multiple products.

For example, a bundle of 3 pairs of socks or a winter accessory kit containing a pair of gloves, a hat and a scarf.

Multipacks ensure the correct amount of stock is removed when a listing is sold. 1 item of stock is removed when a listing is purchased. If the product is created as a multipack, it will remove the correct amount of stock from the inventory.
​
Otherwise, a single item is a standalone product in that range.

Multipack

You can set the base net price of the multi pack here as well as add all of the items that make up the pack.

When adding a new item, you will be presented with a list of all your existing product ranges. These can opened to select the product you wish to add to the pack.

Once all your items have been added, you can adjust the quantity for how much of each item makes up the pack

​
​Single Product
Set your level.
​

Set your price and default tax rate. The tax rate will adapt to each country being shipped to; e.g. (UK 20%, Germany 19% etc...) However, the initial price is based on the UK rate.

If you have any suppliers set-up, you can connect this product to the supplier by setting a cost price.

Most channels will not you to list a product without having an image included. So it highly recommended to have an image against the product which you can add here.
​
Please note that although CCP does store your image we are not responsible maintaining the back-ups of those files, so please keep all product images safely stored.

A Variation Summary will be generated. if there are any issues with your product listing, they will be noted here.

You will then have the option to finish which will create the product or you can go back and make any amendments by pressing the edit option

Cloud Commerce Pro finishes by reminding you to add your product to the relevant sales channels.
