Breakdown of Areas
Category: All Categories
Status: Active, Inactive, Abandoned, Testing, Deleted.
Codename: A unique identifier for each product. Please be aware, you won’t be able to edit this field after you click Save. We recommend using a series of lowercase letters and numbers (especially if you offer one, three, and six bottles of the same product) relatable to the product. No spaces are allowed and the code name is unique for each product (including upsells.)
Ex) greens01
Product name: The full name of the product being sold.
Display as: the name displayed to affiliates and others to see.
Access URL: this is required for digital offers for instant access to product or membership site. This is NOT the sales landing page URL for the product. Customers will be able to access this link through the BuyGoods Thank You Page.
This product can be sold from any webpage: please leave this unchecked.
Use Shopping-Cart settings: please leave this unchecked.
Purchase Velocity: this is how often the same buyer is permitted to purchase the product. Choose "Multiple copies - no restrictions" if the same buyer can purchase the product as many times as they want.
Type: Frontend is the main offer of a funnel, backend is for any upsells or downsells in a funnel
Format: Digital or Physical. This is very important because Physical will have extra areas to fill out to ensure proper fulfillment of orders.
Fulfillment House: what company is processing your orders. This is required for setting up physical products. You can read more about our fulfillment houses here.
Vendor SKU: Input the SKU of the offer and fulfillment house here. If the product SKU includes a quantity you can leave the "Qty" field blank. If your product SKU does not include a quantity (as seen below) then input the product quantity amount in the Qty field.
Recurring SKU: Recurring SKU is an option for vendors when they have a subscription product where the product sent after a specified time period is different than the original product. For example, a customer purchases a one bottle supplement and after a month they then receive two bottles.
Product Description: tell us about your offer.

Important:
When you are done creating your products, they are NOT ready to run traffic to.

A detailed breakdown of how to do this can be found in our Tech Integration documentation.
