Title, description, media

The user can set the product title, description and images. All of them will be mapped to Shopify.

Description can use rich formatting. By selecting the text, the user can put them in bold, italic, add lists and more.

Garnet supports up to 250 images per products. You can find more information in our detailed article.

• supported image extensions: .png, .jpeg, .psd, .tiff, .bmp, .gif, .svg, .heic, and .webp
• supported video extensions: .mov, .mp4, .gif

Images are directly uploaded in Shopify, so large files will be optimized to customers and will not slow down the page speed.

Pricing, inventory

Garnet supports a variety of pricing and inventory fields that can be enabled/disabled in Admin Panel > Configuration. For instance, you can hide or show the SKU, Compare Price, Barcode based on your business needs.

Variants

When enabled in Admin Panel > Configuration, the user can add variation to the product. They can add up to 3 variations. The variations can have an unlimited number of options (Shopify Plus only).

Garnet supports linking metafields with variants. It enables the marketplace to have strictly defined variation and to prevent vendors from adding options inconsistent with the marketplace.

Specifications

We have detailed articles for specifications, they are business fields that the vendor can fill when creating the product. Internally, they represent metafields.

Specifications can be reordered, broken down in sections, and have conditional display. Garnet supports a large variety of field types such as text, images, products, list of text, files, multiple images and more.
