Pricing
For a product with no options, set the price in the Pricing section:
- Price: what the customer pays.
- Compare at price: original price. When set, the storefront shows the product as discounted.
- Cost per item: your cost. Not shown to customers. Drives the Profit and Margin readouts.
Products with options price each variant separately. See Variants and options.
Inventory
- Inventory tracked (default on): Aeolian counts stock and decrements it on each order.
- Quantity: current stock. Shown only when tracking is on.
Turn tracking off for items that never run out (digital goods, made to order).
Status
| Status | Visibility |
|---|---|
| Active | Live on the storefront. |
| Draft | Hidden. |
| Archived | Hidden. Kept for records. |
Publish
Set Status to Active and Save. To open the live page, use View on storefront (Shift+V). That button appears only when a storefront domain is set in store settings and the product is Active.
https://{domain}/{products-path}/{slug}. The domain comes from store settings, the products path defaults to /products (set by your products page route), and the slug is the product's Slug field. A product with slug classic-tee on shop.example.com resolves to https://shop.example.com/products/classic-tee.
