Products and product variants

After the general settings, suppliers, data hub and data model configuration (custom fields, attributes and tags), you can starting adding products and their variants.

We recommend configuring and adding a sample of your products in the testing environment before making changes in the production environment, especially if your e-commerce website is already live.

Set up the DAM

DAM (Digital Asset Management) refers to the software used to process your product's images.

Before importing products and product variants, it is important to define the processing rules for your images (export format, cropping rules...) to process your images the same way, and get a homogeneous result for your website.

Reprocessing images on a live website requires deleting all of them and re-running the process.

1. Click Settings → Catalog and offer management → Product images management.

   

2. Select the image export format (WEBP, JPG, GIF, PNG).

3. Configure the different sizes. DJUST recommends using the CROP_AUTO option. This allows DJUST to get your images, resize them, create a miniature for the research page and create a bigger picture for the product main page. Click Add to add more sizes.

   

4. Click Save.

Create product units

Products in your catalog might require to be described by measurement units (e.g. laundry may have a price per liter, tiles may have a price per square meters...).

These units can be configured and additional measurement can be added.

1. Click Settings → General settings → Product units.

   

2. Click + Add product unit.

   

3. Select a type (Weight, Volume, Length, Area (Metric/Imperial)) and a unit.

   

4. Click Create. The unit is immediately available in your DJUST back office.

Add product and variants

1. Click Catalog → Product list.

   

2. Click + Add product and fill in the fields:

   • Product name and description (to translate in other languages if needed)
   • External ID
   • Brand (optional)
   • Item unit (optional)
   • Select a classification category

   

3. Click Next step. The Create product variant screen appears.

5. Click Create the product with its variant. Created products' status is automatically set to New.

Your product appears in the list and can be edited or deleted from here. Add more variants to your products anytime by clicking on your product in the list, scrolling down to the Variant section, and clicking Add variants.

The navigation category is automatically set thanks to the classification. Refer to the navigation category topic for more information.

Settings exist for new products to be visible on your website immediately (if an offer is associated), or to manually activate each new product. Contact DJUST for more information.

Import products and variants

Import products and variants by using the Data Hub.

They can be imported in DJUST using an FTP client and a .csv file, or using our API connector.

Refer to the Data hub section for more information.

Add related products (optional)

Related products allow for products to be displayed in association with other products. This is useful to create product bundles.

The products to associate must be created prior to this procedure.

1. Click Catalog → Product list.

   

2. Select the product for which to add a related one.

3. In the Related products section at the bottom of the page, select a product in the list and click + Add product.

   

Related products can also be imported from your existing systems.

The product's association is not automatic and needs to be specified in the product .csv file you import into DJUST. In order to associate products together, there must be a mention of product 1 in the line of product 2 (in the file), and vice-versa.
