Product details

The product page in Finqu admin contains several different fields for different purposes. It is not required to fill in all fields. Instead, it is useful to focus on the basic product information (name, description, product images, price) and the information that is relevant to your sales.

Below you will find a list of product information and tips for filling in the details.

Product name and description

It is always a good idea to think carefully about naming your product and what kind of description to write. A good name attracts the customer to look at the product, and a carefully written description will make a big difference in whether the customer buys the product.

A short description is a shorter version of the product description. Around 160 characters is a good length. Depending on your online store's theme, the short description may appear on the product page or in product groups and can also be used as metadata for third-party services such as Facebook.

A small red or green dot to the right of the name and a short description indicates whether the text is the recommended length. The recommendations are based on Google's recommendations for website titles and metadata.

Product images and videos

In the Media section of the product page, you could add product images and, if you wish, videos. Product images can be added by dragging and dropping or clicking on the Add link. Videos can be added by clicking on the Add link.

Once you have added the images, you can drag and drop them to arrange them in your desired order. It is a good idea to put the most representative image first, as it will also appear in the product listings in the online store.

Finqu will automatically process the image sizes to fit the areas allocated to them (e.g., product page and product listings). Finqu will also optimize the images, reducing the loading time in the customer's browser.

Despite image automation, paying attention to image size is always a good idea. They should be large enough, such as 1920 x 1080 pixels (Full HD resolution). When you use larger images, they will look sharp on customers' devices if the customer enlarges the image in the store. But there's no need to overdo it with image sizes. The maximum image size a Finqu online store can display is 4096 x 2160 pixels (4K quality). Larger images are automatically reduced to these maximum dimensions.

Setting the price

You can set both a selling and a purchase price for a product. You can either set the selling price as a fixed price or use price margin, in which case the software automatically calculates the selling price based on the purchase price.

If you have multiple sales channels (e.g., online and in-store) and the product price varies in different channels, turn on the Use different price in different sales channels option before saving the price. The price will then only be saved for that particular sales channel.

Discounts

You can set various discounts for the product from the Discounts section of the product.

  • In the Set a permanent discount section, you can enter a discount percentage not limited by date or other factors.

  • In the Set bulk discount levels section, you can set quantity-based discounts.

  • In the Set discount for a target group section, you can set a discount with restrictions such as date or customer group.

Please note that discounts can also be added to multiple products simultaneously (e.g., specific product groups) using Product Discount.

Options

In the Options section, you can set different product options for the product, such as a color or size. You can read more about using product options in the Product Options article.

Inventory

Under Inventory, you can set the stock value for the product.

Shipping

In the Shipping section, you can set delivery information for your product, such as weight and dimensions.

Cross-selling

Cross-selling lets you link products together, making it easier for customers to find the right product in the online store. There are three different types of cross-selling:

  • A related product can be a different color but otherwise identical.

  • A similar product is a similar product that the customer might also be interested in, such as another smartphone with almost identical specifications.

  • A compatible product is a product that is compatible in some way with the product being sold. For example, it could be a charger that is compatible with a smartphone.

Search Engine View

In the Search engine view section, you can set information on products that can help with search engines. You can read more about this in the Products' search engine optimization article.

Custom fields

In the Custom fields section, you can set custom data fields for your products that are not available in Finqu by default. For example, if you are selling electronics, you can add a custom field for the screen size or memory capacity of the device. These fields can then be added to the online store using Product filters.

Product reviews

You can see product reviews written by your customers in the Product reviews section. For more information, see the Product Reviews article.

Status

From the Status menu, you can change the status of the product. The status is Published by default, but you can change it to Hidden or Preview if you wish.

Preview means the product is visible in the online store but cannot be purchased. This is useful, for example, with more expensive products where the customer cannot buy the product directly from the online store but has to contact you separately about features, prices, and delivery.

Grouping

In the Grouping section, you can select a product group for the product.

Details

In the details section, you can set a product identification/model number (which you/customers can use to search for the product). You can also select the GTIN code, manufacturer, and product unit. The default unit is pcs.

Attachments

Under the Attachments section, you can attach PDF files to your product, such as user manuals or brochures. The customer can then download these files via the product page in the online store.

The maximum file size for an attachment is 10 MB.

Notes

The Notes section allows you to write notes on products. These will be displayed in the product list in Finqu admin, where they will be easier to find later. Notes are not visible to your customers in the online store.

Restrictions

In the Restrictions section, you can restrict the visibility/purchasability of a product as follows:

  • In the Minimum quantity field, you can set a minimum purchase limit for the product.

  • In the Maximum quantity field, you can set a maximum purchase limit for the product.

  • Countries where the product is not available menu allows you to select the countries where the product is not sold. The online shop automatically hides the product if the customer is from a restricted country.

  • Shipping methods that are not available menu allows you to exclude the product from specific delivery methods. This means that the customer cannot select that delivery method if they have the product in their shopping cart.

  • Customer groups where the product is not available menu allows you to exclude the product from certain customer groups. Note that it will also exclude customers who are not logged in to the online shop.
