Add a Product to Bongo4U

Login to Bongo4U Admin Mode.

Hover over the "Products..." option on the Page menu, and click on the "Add New Product" option. If you don't have a "Products..." option on your Page menu, then refer to help entry "How do I Enable my Site for Products".

Enter the desired information for the product that you wish to add. Most of the fields are optional so enter as much or as little as you wish. However, the Product SKU and Product Name fields are mandatory.

The Product SKU code must be unique across all of the products that you load into the system. If you don't have Product SKUs, then just load a unique code or number for each product (e.g. 1, 2, 3, or product1, product2, sku001, sku002, etc. -- any unique code per product).

Beside each of the input fields on the Add Products form is a "?" link. Clicking any of the "?" links will display help about that specific input field. For example, there are special features if you load a promotional Start and End date, click the "?" help link beside the promotional fields for details. There are also many format and link options available within the Long Description field, press its "?" link for details. Use the "?" help links to become more familiar with what your options are for each field.

You can upload either or both a small thumbnail photo and/or a larger product photo. You can also upload a "top" and/or "bottom" product photo. The uploaded photos will automatically be displayed with the product information. The top photo will be displayed at the top of the product detail page, and the bottom photo will be displayed at the bottom. The thumbnail photo will be displayed in product category listings and any promotional listings. The larger product photo will be displayed on the product detail page beside the other product details such as price, sku, etc. Photos make the product data much more interesting and appealing for most visitors, but they are optional.
