Manage products
On the Genstore platform, you can sell physical goods, digital products, and gift cards. To better showcase and sell your products, you can add detailed product information and upload high-quality images.
- Physical products: Products with a physical form, visible, tangible, and transportable via logistics (e.g., clothing, electronics).
- Virtual products: Products that don’t require logistics for delivery, usually software or online services (e.g., email services, online subscriptions).
- Digital products: Products like music, movies, or other entertainment content that customers can download and use immediately after purchase (e.g., e-books, digital music).
Add products
Steps
- Log in to the Genstore admin and go to the Products page.
- Click Add product in the top right corner. Depending on your product type, choose Physical products or Digital products (which includes virtual products).

- After completing the product details, you can set the product status (draft or active), sales channels, markets, vendors, tags, and collection information.

Once created, the product will automatically appear in the product list, where you can manage it later by editing, previewing, copying, or deleting.
Duplicate product
You can quickly create a new product similar to an existing one by duplicating the details and making edits. This saves time and labor costs.
Steps
- Log in to the Genstore admin and go to the Products page.
- In the product list, click Duplicate in the action column.
- A new product creation page will open, with “Copy” automatically added to the original title.
- The product status will default to Draft.
- The system will automatically fill in the other product details, which you can adjust as needed.
- Click Save to finish creating the new product.
TIP
Note: The copied product will automatically be linked to the same market and sales channels. If you wish to adjust the sales channels, do so after copying and set the product status to Active.
Edit products
You can update a product’s price, inventory, description, and more at any time, ensuring your information is always accurate. Any changes you make will take effect immediately.

After saving a product, you can preview how it will appear in your online store in real time.
Steps

- At the bottom status bar, you can check the product status (such as draft or published), view the current theme name, and either exit preview or click Customize theme to open the theme editor for customization.
Limitations
- In preview mode, you can view how the product is displayed, but cannot place real orders.

- Genstore provides two options:
- Adjust price: Set a new price directly for the selected variants.
