Overview of Products

Products are the things within your store that customers can purchase, and then pay for.

Products in Actinic can be as simple or as complicated as you like. For example, one Actinic store might just sell a DVD that has no options, while another Actinic store might sell t-shirts that are available in a range of colours and sizes. Some Actinic stores might even sell custom-made items with lots of different options, such as ordering a bespoke suit or requesting a booking at a hotel.

You can monitor the stock levels of your products and also duplicate products around your store if you want the same product to appear in lots of different places in your store and in lots of different ways.

Actinic Business users can also sell the same product at different prices to different customers.

Products are the most important part of your shop, but they can also be the most tricky to fully understand as there are many different ways you can change how products look and work in Actinic.
