Create Magento 2 article

How do I create a simple product in my Magento 2 store?

Creating new articles in Magento 2 – that’s what this blog article is about.
Learn how to create a simple article in your Magento 2 online store in this Magento Screencast Tutorial episode or the blog below the video. We show you which fields to fill in and which are negligible. Thus, you can create your first Magento 2 article to fill your previously created category.

Create a simple product as a Magento 2 article

In order to be able to fill your newly created category in the Magento 2 store with the matching items now, we create it in today’s video.
These can also be found in the catalog under products. We have the possibility to create many different products, which we can view by clicking on the arrow in the orange button, but we are only interested in one“simple product” for this video.
This will be enabled out of the box, so will appear in the store frontend. Depending on whether a suitable attribute set is available for your product, this can be selected. We are satisfied with the default set. In the following, the product name and the SKU can be entered, whereby the SKU is automatically generated from the product name, but can also be customized independently. A price can be entered in the previously set currency, the tax class can be defined and the stock level can be specified.

Fills in the weight information when creating a Magento 2 article

You can inform your potential customers whether this product is still in stock or not. Another field is the weight, which must also be filled in, otherwise this product may be recognized as a “virtual article” and may not be displayed in the store frontend. You can select the category in which your product should be placed and specify exactly what this item can be found through. So for example. only through the search, but not through the catalog. The two fields below can be filled in, but are not essential and only demonstrate from when to when the product should be displayed as new and where this product was produced.

How to optimize your Magento 2 article

In addition to the core information, further optimizations can be made to the product by filling the content section. A detailed description, usually written as sectioned continuous text, can be entered here. But also a brief description that will be seen next to the image, often written as bullet points. The configuration is rather irrelevant when creating a simple product and can be skipped. Images, on the other hand, should not be missing from your store.
These can be dragged into the section for images and videos below and should be SEO-prepared in advance as usual.

Magento SEO during product creation

Exactly the same applies to the section  of the Meta Title and Meta Description. How to create them you can read in our Magento SEO Blog.
The “Related Products Section” is also of less interest to us, as it can only be used for special cases, e.g., when a product is used in a specific application. Products for up-selling and cross-selling can be set in connection with the product created here. All other menu items are self-explanatory. Thus, the design field can be used to customize the layout, select the desired store in which the product is to be stored if there are several active stores, activate the gift option for leaving messages, etc. What one or the other will now miss are the attributes. These can be defined exactly for the product using the “Add Attributes” button, so you can say you’d like the color, gender and size.
These can then be determined in their own section after you have added them. We are happy to advise you on the topic of Magento SEO.
