Step 2 | Set pricing

Now you can add the product price and manage other pricing options. To indicate that the price has been reduced, you can add a strikethrough price.

Important:
If your product has no product options, you'll manage pricing here. However, once you create product options, you'll manage all your pricing settings per variant (even if they're all sold at the same price).

To set pricing:

  1. Enter the Price. 
  2. (Optional) Enter the Strikethrough price (i.e. the price before it was marked down).
  3. (Optional) Enter the cost of goods (i.e. what it costs you to make or buy the product).
    Note: Your profit and margin are calculated automatically and aren't displayed to customers. Learn more
  4. Display a price per unit for this product (e.g. $30/100gm).
    1. Enable the Show price per unit toggle.
    2. Under Total units in product, select a unit type (e.g. grams) from the drop-down and enter the total product quantity (e.g. if you sell an 80-gram soap bar, enter "80").
    3. Under Base unit, enter the unit you want to measure by (e.g. enter 100 to measure per 100 grams).

  1. If you set up tax groups, select a tax group for the product.

To add product media:

  1. Click Add Media.
  2. Click Upload Media to add images, GIFs, or videos (up to 15).

Step 4 | Manage inventory and pre-order settings

Now you can set how you manage inventory for this product. You can track specific quantities or simply mark your inventory as 'In stock' or 'Out of stock'.  
Additionally, you can add a pre-order option to this product. That means that when the product is out of stock, customers can pre-order it. Learn more about pre-ordering store products.  
Important:
If your product has no product options, you'll manage inventory and pre-order here. However, once you create product options, these settings are managed per variant.

To configure inventory and enable pre-ordering:

  1. Click the Track inventory quantity to enable or disable tracking specific inventory amounts.
  2. Enter the Status (e.g. In Stock) or the Quantity (e.g. 20 items in stock).
  3. (Optional) Enter a unique SKU and/or Barcode (GTIN).
  4. (Optional) Allow customers to pre-order this product:
    1. Click the Sell as pre-order when this product is out of stock to enable it.
    • Add a Pre-order message (e.g. "Available mid-March").
    • (Optional) Limit the number of items a customer can preorders:
      Note: To limit, you must track inventory quantities.
      1. Select the Limit the number of items available for pre-order checkbox.
      2. Enter the number.

Step 5 | (Optional) Create product options

Offer products that come with multiple variations, such as size, color, or material.
Screenshot of a sample product in a Wix stores with product options
Each product can contain up to 6 product options (e.g. color or size). Each of those options can have up to 100 option choices (e.g. 100 sizes). 
Important:
  • Before you create product options, consider whether some of those options could be modifiers instead. Learn more about the differences between product options and modifiers.
  • After creating product options, pricing settings, inventory and more are managed per variant, not globally for the product.

To create product options:

  1. Click +Add Option.
  2. Choose which kind of product option you want to add:
    • Color options:
      1. Select Color swatches from the Field type drop-down.
      2. Enter an option name (Color).
      3. Type your first color name (e.g. Blue) and press Enter on your keyboard.
      4. Select the shade.
        Note: The shade you choose will be used for this color in all products.
      5. Click the Checkmark icon  .
      6. Add additional colors.
      7. Click Add.
    • Other options: 
      1. Select Dropdown list from the Field type drop-down.
      2. Enter an option name (Size).
      3. Type your first option choice (e.g. Small) and select it or press Enter.
      4. Add the additional option choices (e.g. Medium and Large) 
      5. Click Add.
Tip:
After you create product options, click Edit variant to can manage pricing, inventory, add SKUs, weights and more. Learn more about product options.

Step 6 | (Optional) Create modifiers

Allow additional customizations that don't require you to store separate inventory or create separate pricing for each variant. For example, you can use modifiers, to offer free gift wrapping or a free embellishment to an existing product. Learn more about product modifiers.
On your site, color swatch modifiers and drop-down modifiers look the same as product options. In the example below, 'Size' is a product option, but the rest are modifiers. Text boxes can only be added as modifiers.

  1. Click +Add Modifier.
