↑ Back to Top

After getting imported from Shopify, the products are displayed right on the app panel under the Product tab. In addition to that, you can also find out what actions you can perform on these products. Also, the product section lets you view and customize the products according to your needs before listing them on the marketplace.

You can find the Product section on the collapsable panel on the left side of your screen at the second position from the top.

The product grid lets you view your products based on their current status in the marketplace. Below you can find the different product statuses.

Imported: The products are simply imported from Shopify or directly via CSV to the app and are not yet uploaded on Marketplace.
Pending: The products, once uploaded to the marketplace, need to get verified and approved by the marketplace admin. The products are assigned the Pending status until they get approved or rejected.
Live: This status comes from the marketplace once the product is uploaded from the app to the marketplace and the admin approves it to make it live on the Marketplace.
Inactive: The inactive products have been live on the marketplace but have been taken down because of zero inventory; you are not selling them anymore or for any other reason.
Rejected: This status comes from the marketplace. You can view it when the admin rejects it on the Marketplace.
