In this article, you as a vendor will learn how to easily create your own products on CopeCart.
From the step-by-step instructions to the various customization options, we'll guide you through the process of creating your offers. Let's work together to turn your ideas into products that will delight your customers.
How to create your product on CopeCart
The first step is to log in to your CopeCart account. After logging in, your personal dashboard will open. Here you have the option of selecting various tabs on the left-hand side. Click on the "Products" tab and then on "New product" in the top right-hand corner.
Choose which product type you want to sell. If you are not sure which exact product type to use for your product, you can click the Info button. There you will find a simple description of what type of product it is. Once you have selected your product type, enter the name of your product in the "Product name" column. In the next column you enter the price of your product and under "Description" you enter a detailed product description with 250 characters. Then click on "Create product" at the bottom right and you will be redirected to a new window.
Once you have selected your product type, enter the name of your product in the "Product name" column. In the next column, enter the price of your product.
Product description
Please write a detailed product description of at least 250 characters. Once completed, please click on the "Create product" button at the bottom right to be redirected to a new window.
Picture
A suitable image is always required for your product. Please note that the product image should be in JPG or PNG format and must not exceed a file size of 2 MB. The recommended image size is 740 ร 500 pixels.
Product description
You have already filled in your description in the second step. You have the option of adding to or editing your description.
Tags
Enter different words here that match your product. For example, if your product is a book about nutrition, suitable tags could be health, nutrition, lifestyle, etc.
Upload product
If you have selected the product type "Digital product", you can make your e-book, PDF or similar products available to your customers for download.
Upsell Funnel
If you have already created an upsell funnel for your product, you can add your funnel here to offer your customers additional products in the next order step.
Thank you page
It is possible to add an individual thank you page, which your customer will land on after completing the order process. Please note that this thank you page must contain the note "Copecart will be debited". Alternatively, you can omit the individual thank you page and your customer will receive the standard CopeCart thank you page instead.
Product availability
Here you can set whether your product is an unlimited or limited offer.
Product options
Here you can define product categories and set individual selection options. For example, if your product has different sizes, as is the case with clothing, this allows your customer to select a suitable individual size.
Set active time for the product
Here you can specify whether it is a time-limited offer, for example a Black Friday promotion or similar.
Addon product/order bump
Here you can display additional offers in your order form, which are ideal as a supplement to your original product, for example.
Payment details/ promo codes
Here you can select whether the price is displayed net or gross. You also have the option of activating the option here so that customers can use a voucher code for your offer.
Allow multiple purchases
Here you can choose whether your customer can add your product to the shopping cart more than once.
Free trial period
Here you can specify whether the customer can test your product free of charge for a certain period of time, for example to check the quality.
Payment plans
Here you can specify whether the order is made as a one-off payment, installment payment or as part of a subscription.
Payment options
The next step takes you to the available payment methods for your product. Here you can select which payment method the customer can use to purchase your product.
Refund Setting/cancellation period
Among other things, you can specify how long your returns policy is valid for. You can choose from options such as 14 days, 30 days, 60 days or no returns.
Selling restrictions by country/customer type
Do you only want to offer your products in certain countries, such as the DACH region? In the next step under "Sales restrictions by country", you have the option of selecting the countries in which your customers can order. You can also define your customer type and choose whether your product can only be sold to private individuals, only to companies or to both.
Contract Fulfillment Data
Please select which information the customer must provide in the order form for an order.
Order form
In the next step, you can select the design of the order form. Here you can specify whether your checkout is a one-step (1-step) or two-step (2-step) form.
Activate affiliate program
You can find detailed instructions on the partner program here.
Joint venture partnerships
If other vendors are involved in your product, you have the option of establishing a joint venture partnership. This means that the shares are divided directly in the event of a sale.
Integrations (IPN)
Here you can specify whether interfaces should be activated for this product (IPN). This could be an integration with email marketing software, for example. You can find out more about IPN integration here.
Tracking
If you want to set up additional tracking for your sales, first go to your account settings to set up tracking.
Notifications
Here you have the option of specifying which of your customers' actions you would like to be informed about. To do this, enter an e-mail address to which the notifications should be forwarded. You can find more information here.
Customize checkout template
If you would also like to send your customers a newsletter, the "Customize checkout template" section allows you to choose whether the newsletter is already included in the product or whether a clickable box is displayed. This allows the customer to decide for themselves whether they want to subscribe to the newsletter.
When you are happy with all the settings for your product, click on the green save button in the top right-hand corner to save all the changes. We hope you enjoy creating your products.
