| Product header                         | Top of the page          | Shows the product name, its key details (SKU, colorway, brand, type, release year), a photo you can click to enlarge, and status badges telling you whether it is set up and whether Shopify is in sync.                      | Glance at it to confirm you opened the right product and to see setup and sync status at a glance.                                                                                     |
| Product Information                    | Settings tab             | Contains core product fields such as name, brand, category, product type, and internal notes.                                                                                                                                 | Review it before saving so the product is searchable and categorized correctly.                                                                                                        |
| Market snapshot                        | Slim strip near the top  | Shows the current lowest StockX ask and GOAT ask for this product, and your "Position" — how many units you have on hand and roughly what they are worth if sold at today's ask.                                              | Use it as a quick reality check while setting prices. Note: Position is a market-value estimate at the current ask — it does not include what the pairs cost you, so it is not profit. |
| Click to edit size                     | Settings tab, size table | Lets you edit a size or variant row directly — its size label, price, barcode, and other details. A size's condition (for example, "Damaged Box") shows inline right on the size row; there is no separate condition section. | Use it when a size label, price, barcode, or condition is wrong.                                                                                                                       |
| Settings                               | Setup tabs               | The main setup tab — holds Product Information, the size/price table, and the core selling settings.                                                                                                                          | This is where you spend most of your time setting a product up.                                                                                                                        |
| SEO                                    | Setup tabs               | Edits storefront search title, description, and URL fields.                                                                                                                                                                   | Use it when the product needs cleaner customer-facing search or URL text.                                                                                                              |
| Channels                               | Setup tabs               | Controls where the product can be published or sold.                                                                                                                                                                          | Use it before publishing to Shopify or other storefront channels.                                                                                                                      |
| Templates                              | Setup tabs               | Controls listing, tag, and metafield templates applied to the product. You can generate recommendations or preview a template before applying it.                                                                             | Use it when product output (descriptions, tags, Shopify metafields) should follow a saved template.                                                                                    |

| Sync Metafields                        | More actions menu        | Pushes the product's custom Shopify metadata fields (metafields) to Shopify. Metafields are no longer their own tab — they are handled through the Templates tab and this sync action.                                        | Use it when a connected storefront template depends on product metafields and they need refreshing in Shopify.                                                                         |

The Save button reads "Set up this product" until then.                                                  |
| Not set up yet                         | Header status badge      | A red badge meaning a few details are still missing, so the product stays out of ready-to-sell workflows.                                                                                                                     | It clears once sizes, prices, images, and required settings are correct and you save.                                                                                                  |

| Sync to Shopify                        | More actions menu        | Sends the product settings to Shopify.                                                                                                                                                                                        | Use it after setup is complete and Shopify should receive the latest product data.                                                                                                     |

| More actions                           | Header (⋯ menu)          | Opens less-common actions such as syncing to Shopify, viewing status, removing setup, switching product type, or deleting custom entities.                                                                                    | Use it carefully; many options affect product identity or selling readiness.                                                                                                           |

| Keep Shopify product (disconnect only) | Delete product options   | Disconnects AIM from the Shopify product while leaving the Shopify product in place.                                                                                                                                          | Use it when Shopify should keep the product but AIM should stop managing it.                                                                                                           |

## How to: Set up a new product

1. Check the product name and photo in the header are correct.
2. On the Settings tab, enter a price for each size. If you use multiple pricing tiers, fill in each one.
3. Set each size's condition right on its row if it isn't a standard new pair.
4. Choose "When sold out" — usually "Stop selling" so you don't oversell.
5. Click "Set up this product" to save. The header badge changes to "Set up & ready".

<Tip title="Real-world example">
  Jordan 4 Bred: on the Settings tab, set sizes 8–13 to a \$360 retail tier, choose "Stop selling", then click "Set up this product".
</Tip>

## How to: Update an already set-up product

1. Change any prices or settings that need updating.
2. Click "Save changes".

<Tip title="Real-world example">
  Change the Dunk Low Panda size-10 retail price from $140 to $135 and its sold-out behavior to "Stop selling", then click "Save changes". Existing inventory stays in place; the updated settings are used going forward.
</Tip>

## Good to know

* If a price is rejected on save, the error names the exact size and field to fix.
* The market snapshot near the top shows the lowest StockX and GOAT asks plus your Position (units on hand and their value at ask) — but Position never counts what the pairs cost you, so treat it as a market estimate, not profit.
* A size's condition shows right on its row — there's no separate condition section anymore.
* Greyed-out example text in a box is just a hint — it isn't saved unless you type a value.
* Can't find the product in the shared catalog? Create it as a custom product instead.
