Products are the heart of your catalogue. This page covers the dashboard product editor end-to-end: cover image, gallery, description, video, pricing, stock and the entry point into variants.

Open Dashboard → Products at /dashboard/products. Each product card shows:

The slug is not shown in the list.

Quick actions on each card: Share, Preview in store, Edit and Delete. Delete is permanent — it only asks for a browser confirmation and there is no undo and no archive.

Filter by category, status or stock state, or search by name.

Tick several products and the bulk toolbar appears with six actions:

Two limits worth knowing: a bulk operation handles at most 100 products at a time, and bulk stock edits only apply to products using simple product-level stock — products on variant stock or combination stock are silently skipped and reported as skipped.

Click Add product at the top right (or go directly to /dashboard/products/create). The editor is split into cards:

⚠️ Warning — Two checks block the save

A new product cannot be saved without at least one image, and a compare price must be strictly greater than the price — an equal or lower compare price is rejected. Both checks run in the browser; the API and bulk import do not enforce them.

Free stores can upload up to 8 photos per product. Pro, Unlimited and Enterprise are effectively unlimited (a 999 ceiling in the uploader). Accepted formats: jpg, png, gif, webp, heic, heif, avif, bmp, tiff.

Each file may be up to 20 MB. Uploads are automatically downscaled to a 2000x2000 maximum, converted to WebP, and a 400 px thumbnail is generated for cards and listings.

After uploading you can:

The primary tile is pinned to the first slot automatically — drag-and-drop and the chevrons cannot move it, so there is nothing to lock or unlock. To change which photo leads, click the star on a different one.

The image order is what variants and the storefront gallery use. The first image is what shows up in ads and on category cards, so put your strongest hero shot there.

Tick one or more categories in the Category & status card. The picker is a flat, searchable checkbox list ordered by product count — sub-categories exist in /dashboard/categories, but they are not nested here.

DZBuild marks the first ticked category as primary automatically; there is no control to choose which. The primary category is the label shown on the product page and in its breadcrumb structured data (which links back to the store's categories section, not to a category page). It does not affect the product URL — product pages are always /product/{slug} or /product/{id}, and category pages are /category/{category-slug}.

The description editor is a rich-text block where you can:

⚠️ Warning — Pasting an image doesn't upload it

There is no clipboard upload. Pasting an image is either dropped, or — for a picture copied from another web page — embedded as a link to that external site, which breaks the day that site changes. Always use the toolbar image button.

Most Algerian merchants keep the description short (under 200 words) and let images do the work. Use H2 for benefits, an image between blocks, then an FAQ at the bottom.

The description card has a generate with AI button on both the create and edit forms. It writes in your storefront language, not the language of the product name, and there is no plan gate — Free stores can use it.

Rate limits per store: about 6 generations a minute, 150 a day, and 3 per product per day.

Three fields:

Also in the Pricing & stock card, and passed to the courier when the order is sent to delivery (Yalidine / Yalitec / Guepex):

Two stock modes at product level:

Add an SKU in the Pricing & stock card. There is no barcode field in the product editor — a barcode can only be set by bulk import or the API. SKUs are not validated for uniqueness: two products in the same store can carry the same SKU with no warning, so keep them unique yourself.

For per-variant or per-combination stock, see Variants. For low-stock alerts and bulk stock tools, install the Stock Management addon.

Active product caps depend on your plan:

The cap is enforced at create time: on Free you simply cannot add a 6th active product. Drafts don't count against it, but hidden products do (a hidden product still counts as active). Free stores are additionally capped at 30 orders per month.

If a paid plan expires, the whole storefront goes offline — every page is replaced by a "store closed" notice — and the dashboard is restricted to the dashboard home, subscription and billing history, settings, account, notifications, affiliate, AI credits and invoice download; everything else redirects to /dashboard/subscribe. Nothing is deleted, the plan is not downgraded to Free, and renewing restores everything immediately.

Need to renew or upgrade? Open /dashboard/subscribe and click ▶ How to renew for an in-app guided tour, or watch the video tutorials on the DZBuild YouTube channel.

Below the stock card, the Variants section lets you add Colour, Text, Image-text or Multiple choice groups, each with options that carry their own price adjustment, stock and linked image. Full reference: Variants & combinations.

The Offers & bundles card creates per-product quantity offers — "buy 3 for 4 500 DZD". Each offer carries:

When an offer covers several pieces of a product that has variants, the shopper picks variants per piece. That is built in; the Offer Variant Popup addon replaces the built-in accordion with a modal.

Product SEO is generated automatically — there is nothing to fill in:

There is no per-product meta title, meta description or OG-image override in the dashboard. The meta_title and meta_description fields can be filled by bulk import or the API, but the storefront never uses them for products.

Open /dashboard/products/:id/edit from the products list. Same fields as create.

Renaming a product always regenerates its URL slug — there is no manual slug field — so the old /product/{old-slug} URL stops resolving by slug. Product pages also resolve by numeric ID (/product/{id}, which is what the dashboard's Preview and Share buttons emit), so ID-based links survive a rename. Rename with care if ads point at a slug URL.

There is no Duplicate action. To create a similar product, re-enter it or bulk-import it.

Saving a product also re-indexes it for storefront search. Indexing failures are silent, so if search misses a product, open it and save it again. Bulk stock edits deliberately skip re-indexing.

The Bulk Import tool lives at /dashboard/products/bulk-import.

🛑 Important — Import is insert-only — never re-upload the same file

There is no SKU matching and no upsert. Re-uploading a file you already imported creates a second copy of every product (the duplicate slugs become name-2, name-3, …). To change products you already have, edit them in the dashboard, use bulk actions, or use the API.

Free stores cannot import. The page opens, but any upload is rejected with an upgrade prompt. On Pro, Unlimited and Enterprise the limits are per file:

The import also stops once your plan's product slots run out (Pro: 300 active products in total) and tells you how many rows were skipped.

Required: name and price.

Optional: description, short_description, compare_price, cost_price, sku, barcode, stock_quantity, category, status, featured, track_stock, meta_title, meta_description, variant_color, variant_size, image_url, and image_url_2 … image_url_15.

Notes:

For a Shopify store, use the Shopify Import addon from /dashboard/addons instead of a CSV. It connects with 1-click OAuth and imports products, variants, images and collections — and unlike CSV bulk import, re-running it updates the products it already imported instead of duplicating them, preserving their slugs. Requires Pro.

Product add-ons are paid extras a shopper attaches to a product at checkout — engraving text, a custom message, an uploaded design file. Manage them at /dashboard/products/addons. There is no plan gate: Free stores can use them.

Each add-on carries:

Add-ons are switched on per product, and pricing is recalculated on our side from your saved add-on prices at checkout — a tampered client price is ignored. One caveat: landing-page checkout stores custom-form uploads at price 0 rather than charging add-on prices, so use the product page when add-ons must be paid for.
