How do I add products to my site?
Adding products to your category and website can be handled in a number of methods depending upon your product line.
It is recommended that before you start this process, you complete the following items:
- Review your list of paper types, sizes and quantities.
- Review your list of available options in your database. If you need options not listed, please request them from customer care, before starting this process.
Step 1 - Configure your product category with the appropriate product category settings.
Click on your product category and set the sizes, paper types, quantities and sides specific to the category.
If you need additional help in this step, please review the notes on how to set up a product category.
Step 2 - Start the Build Product Catalog Wizard
Click the check box "Load Default Data", if you would like to pre-load the category settings you have already set. If you adjust these category settings, the updates will apply to your category upon completion of the wizard.
Click the "Next" button when you are ready to move on.
Update the general turnaround settings and costs for your category. You can come back and update these with more specifics for individual products later if needed. This screen is meant to input your basic turnaround information and settings for your category. Click the "Next" button when you are ready to move on.
Step 3 - Configuring Pricing By "Sides"
Step 3 is the most important step in the set-up wizard. On this screen you can select the combinations of product size, paper type and quantity from the drop down, or you can select "All", to edit all products for your pricing matrix.

If you feel you have too many combinations to update in a single screen it is advised that you simply re-run this wizard a couple of times to continue to add on combinations for the category.
Enter your price per quantity and side. Be sure to click "Save Product Data" before continuing.
Click the "Next" button when you are ready to move on.
Step 4 - Set-up and Configure your Options for your category
Please move from the left to the right, the "Master Options" you would like to have available for your category. Click "Go To Step 2..", NOT the "Next" button.
Select the "Sub-Options" that you would like avaialable for your "Master Options". Click "Go To Step 3..." NOT the "Next" button.
Carefully review the instructions and explanation of how pricing and adjustments of price apply for each of your options. Click the "Save Product Options" button. When you are statisfied with your data an entries, click the "Next" button.
Step 5 - Review and Submit
Carefully review the selections made in the wizard process. When you are satisfied, please carefully read the text for the checkboxes at the bottom of the page. These checkboxes determine how the product pricing and options for the category will be entered into your database.
Congratulations, you have completed the product set-up wizard. Please feel free to re-run the wizard for additonal product options and combinations for your category.
