Tip:
Products added to the Import List do not yet appear in your Wix store.
Step 3 | Customize products and product options
Before you add a product from the Import List to your Wix store, you can customize it. To start, go to the Import List tab in the Spocket dashboard. There, you can choose a product and make any customization you like. You can edit the product name, add a product to one of your Wix store categories, edit the product description to suit the tone of your brand, remove or reorder images, and more.
Make sure to check out all the available tabs.
Tip:
Click the Variants tab to view product options. There you can deselect the checkbox next to any variants you don't want to sell.
Step 4 | Add products to your Wix store
Now go to your Import List to add products to your Wix site.
- To add all the products at once, click Push Current Page at the top of the Import List.
- To add individual products, click Push To Store under the relevant product.
Step 5 | Set pricing
There are two ways to set pricing in Spocket. First, you can set global pricing rules. These are rules that determine your default price markup and margins for products.

Additionally, you can override the pricing rules by setting a specific price for a product. To do so, from the Import List, select a product and go to the Variants tab. There you can enter a Sales Price for each variant you want to edit.
Notes:
- Every product has at least one variant.
- When you set Global Pricing Rules, the rules won't apply to products already in your Import List or active on your store. To apply the rules to these product, you can remove them from your Import List and re-add them.
Important:
- When a price is set through a price rule, it automatically goes up or down when the supplier changes the price. We recommend using price rules to help your price margins stay consistent.
- When you manually edit a price, and the supplier modifies the price, you get a notification in Spocket about the change. You can then decide whether you want to change the price or leave it as is.
Step 6 | Set up shipping
In the search page, you can view the supplier's basic shipping price.
Click the product image to view more information on shipping times and charges to different destinations.
Suppliers' shipping rates do not automatically sync with your Wix store, so you'll need to create shipping rules in your Wix dashboard. You may want to charge for shipping or increase the product price so that it covers the shipping cost and then offer free shipping - the choice is yours. You can use the supplier's rates and destinations to help guide you.
Wix Stores' shipping rates by product rule allows you to create product groups and charge different rates for different groups.
To set shipping rules, head over to your Wix dashboard. Learn more about setting up shipping rules

- Select the relevant order.
