Product Configuration

Listings by default only request a handful of information. Even though the marketplace can set business-related fields with specifications, they can also turn on and off specific core functionalities related to listings. See more below.

Sales configuration

Allow product variations

Allows the vendor to use variations. For instance a T-shirt can come in different sizes or colors. A product can have up to 250 product variations and up to 20k variations under Shopify Plus. If the configuration for SKU, weight, or GTIN is turned on, they will apply for each variation of the product.

Enable GTIN/EAN/Barcode

If your vendors know the GTIN of their product, you can request it with an additional field. It can boost the product's SEO if it is entered correctly.

Enable compare price

Also named strike-out price, it is usually done to display a save %XX tag next to the product.

Plain text description only

All product descriptions will be displayed and saved as text only.

Enable SKU

SKUs are important for businesses and less important for individuals as they don't usually track inventory.

If disabled, Garnet will autogenerate a random SKU such as AJKDO4P for each product created. In such cases, you can consider the SKU to be unique across your whole store.

Mark product as taxable

Vendors can mark the product to be taxable or not. If the product is not taxable, no tax will be computed by Shopify at checkout.

Fields configuration

Enable SEO

Vendors can set the product's SEO title and description. By default, they take the value of the product's title and description.

Enable untracked stock

Some vendors have a high or infinite (for digital products) stock for a product and they do not keep track of the stock. Enable them to mark the stock as Untracked when creating a product.

Use digital products only

Remove the option to create physical products. None of your products will need physical fulfillments. Check our guide on digital assets to offer downloadable assets to customers. You might be interested in auto fulfilling digital orders as well.

Vendors can create digital products

Vendors can create digital products. Useful when your marketplace is selling both physical and digital products.

Field Guidelines

The marketplace can guide the vendors to fill the product listing by adding guidelines and constraints to the listing page. These guidelines will show below the fields on the product page.

Here the guidelines are in lighter colors below the title, description, image, and variant fields

Default units and templates

Default Units

These default units will be pre-selected when vendors create new product listings, ensuring consistency across your marketplace.

Length units: Centimeters (cm), Inches (in), Feet (ft), Meters (m), Millimeters (mm), Yards (yd).

Weight units: Grams, Kilograms, Ounces, Pounds

Product template

Products can be created using a different Shopify theme template. If not specified, it will use the default template specified by your theme.

The theme can be found in Shopify > Product > Theme template.

Sales channel and location

The marketplace can customize in which location the product will be created, and in which sales channel it will be published. Garnet will always create products in the same location.

Edit products in other location

Garnet supports editing products in other locations. If the marketplace created products and assigned it to locations that are not the default location, vendors will still be able to edit them.
