How to Add a Simple Product to Jemez Village
Welcome to the Jemez Village artisan community! This guide will walk you through the process of listing a “Simple Product”—which is a single physical or digital item (like a handcrafted bowl, a painting, or a digital photograph).
Step 1: Access the “Add New Product” Page
Log in to your Vendor Dashboard and select the Products tab from the left-hand menu.
Step 1b: Click the “Add New Product” button
Click the “Add New Product” button to open the editor shown in the image above.
Step 2: Let the AI Assistant Write Your Details
To save time on copywriting, use our integrated AI tool:
- Generate Content: Click the orange “Enhance” button next to the Title field.
- Prompt the AI: In the pop-up box, type a brief description of your item (e.g., “A handmade copper-wrapped raw quartz pendant made by Damien Spencer”) and click Generate.
- Review & Insert: The AI will provide a professional Title, Short Description, and Long Description. Click Insert to automatically fill these fields.
Don’t like AI? Feel free to fill out the title, short description, or long description yourself. This tool here is here to help but not required.
Step 4: Categories, Tags, and Pricing
- Category: Click the Category dropdown and select the most relevant section (e.g., Apparel & Accessories > Jewelry > Necklaces).
- Price: Enter your Price and, if applicable, a Discounted Price. You can also click “Schedule” to set specific dates for a sale.
- Tags: Type in keywords that describe your item (e.g., pendant, copper, quartz) to help shoppers find your work.
Step 5: Inventory and Shipping
Scroll down to the bottom of the page to manage logistics:
- Inventory: Check “Enable product stock management” to track how many items you have available.
- Shipping & Tax: If it’s a physical item, enter the Weight and Dimensions. Select a Shipping Class (like USPS Flat Rate) and ensure the Tax Status is correct.
- Purchase Note: Add a brief note that the customer will see after their purchase (e.g., “Thank you for supporting local artisans!”).
Step 6: Linked Products and Attributes
- Upsells: Use this box to suggest a more premium version of the item to customers on the product page.
- Cross-sells: Suggest matching accessories that will appear in the customer’s cart.
- Attributes: Click “Add Attribute” to list specific details like Material or Color. This creates an “Additional Information” tab for customers to view.
- Bulk Discounts: Check “Enable bulk discount” if you want to offer a lower price for larger quantities.
Step 7: Purchase Note and Finalize
- Personal Touch: Add a Purchase Note which the customer will receive after their order (e.g., “Thank you for supporting local New Mexico artisans!”).
- Publish: Set the status to Online and click “Save Product” to go live.
