      • all products with options
      • products without options that are not parts
    • Add Ons (ONLY sold as options on Configurable products)

    Adding and Editing Products

    Editing Configurable Products

    The video below shows how to set up and edit the dropdown (configuration) options for products in the store. 

    The overall steps, shown in the video, when setting up completely new options are:

    1. Create or select a product for the specific add-on product item (make a new one with SKU, price, weight) or select an existing Parts product.
    2. Create the option/dropdown holding the add-on product item(s) and None.
    3. Create the option set holding the set of options/dropdowns and link that set to the product(s) that use it.
    4. Connect the option set to the configurable product or products that should use it.

    Editing options and option sets

    • Login to the site
    • Under Apps on the left side, select EasyFlow (if you don’t see it, click on the arrow next to Apps to find it)
    • In the EasyFlow area, find and click on the OPTION SET for the product you want to edit. We named them to match the type of product they go with and many have SKUs in the names also.
      • For example, search for “jiggler” to find the 5-ft Jiggler Package #658
      • You can add or remove OPTIONS here.  Be sure to keep NONE as the first one with $0 price.
    • With the option set open for editing, you can find any OPTION you want to change - click on it
      • For example, looking at the 5-ft Jiggler Package option set, you’ll see 2 options: None and 5-ft Jiggler Package
    • Click on the product link to the right of the Value Title (you’ll see 5-ft.Jiggler in blue) and it will show you the product that that value is linked to. (5-ft. Jiggler Package-Default Title (with no image).
    • You can remove or change the product for the option there.
    For the particular situation, where we have a Parts product and an Add-On for the same product and we want to replace the Add-On one with the Part one, here are the steps.
    • Login to the site
    • Under Apps on the left side, select EasyFlow (if you don’t see it, click on the arrow next to Apps to find it)
    • In the EasyFlow area, find and click on the option set for the product you want to edit.
      • For example, search for “juggler” to find the 5-ft Jiggler Package #658
    • With the option set open for editing, you can find the option you want to change - click on it
      • For example, looking at the 5-ft Jiggler Package option set, you’ll see 2 options: None and 5-ft Jiggler Package
    • Click on the product link to the right of the Value Title (you’ll see 5-ft.Jiggler in blue) and it will show you the product that that value is linked to. (5-ft. Jiggler Package-Default Title (with no image).
    • Search for Jiggler in that pop up window and you’ll see two options - the one that’s selected and the one you want (with his the part with the image)
    • Change the checkbox to the Jiggler Package with the image and click on Add Add-on product
    • Save the option set (SAVE at the top of the page)
    • That will change for every product that uses that option set.
    • When this is done for all products using the Add-On you no longer want, you can archive the Add-On product that you no longer need.

    Set a Product to be Dealer-Only

    For products that you do NOT want the public to be able to buy, but you DO want dealers to be able to buy it.

    • Find the Product in the Products list and look at the product details.
    • Under More Actions dropdown at the top of the page, select Edit MetaFields
    • Scroll to the bottom of that page and toggle the product On/Off for being sold online. (note that the toggle is a little counter-intuitive as to which is on - if it's "IN" or looks pressed down, that is on)
