How to add products to an OpenCart online shop

1. On the navigation bar hover over 'Catalog' and click products.

2. To insert a new product click insert on the right-hand side. Alternatively to copy an existing product check the corresponding box and click copy.

3. Under the general tab enter the product name, product description, a meta description and a keyword. Be sure to include your keyword within your meta description, as this will improve your search engine rankings. Meta descriptions should be no more than 160 characters as they are shown on the search engine results page.

4. Under the data tab enter the product code, price, tax class, primary image, shipping requirement, enable status and enter sort order. Sort order will define the order in which your products will be displayed.

5. Under the links tab select the category you would like the product to be displayed within.

6. If you would like additional images to be displayed on your product descriptions select the image tab and add these additional images. If you have not already uploaded these images into opencart you will be able to upload them from your desktop now (see tutorial, how to upload images in opencart) for more details.

7. Click Save.
