Product Pages

Every product in your catalog can be configured with customer-facing content through the product editor's Web Editor tab. This content powers your online storefront product detail pages.

Accessing the Web Editor​

  1. Navigate to Products and open any product for editing.
  2. In the product editor header, click Web Editor (toggles between Item Fields and Web Editor views).
  3. The Web Editor panel shows the online content fields.

Web Editor Fields​

Online Short Description​

A concise summary shown in product cards, menu listings, and search results. Supports rich text formatting (bold, italic, headings, lists).

  • Where it appears: Product card previews, menu section listings, and as a fallback for the page's meta description.
  • SEO impact: Used as the meta description if metaDescription is empty.

Online Description​

The full product description shown in the expandable Description panel on the product detail page. Supports rich text formatting.

  • Where it appears: Product detail page, accordion Description section.
  • SEO impact: Last-resort fallback for the page's meta description (HTML is stripped).

Meta Tags​

Comma-separated tags rendered as clickable chips on the product detail page. Clicking a chip navigates to other products sharing that tag.

  • Where it appears: Chip display below product info; drives the "Related Products" section.
  • SEO impact: Pushed into <meta name="keywords"> on the product page.

Slug​

A URL-friendly identifier for the product. Used to build clean, readable product URLs.

Material Icon​

An optional icon identifier (from Material Icons) that can appear alongside the product in listings.

Web Visibility Toggle​

In the product editor's toggle section (visible in Item Fields view), the Web Enabled toggle controls whether the product appears in the online storefront.

StateEffect
On (webProduct = true)Product is visible in the online catalog
Off (webProduct = false)Product is hidden from the online catalog

A product must be both Active and Web Enabled to appear in the storefront.

Product Images​

Product images are uploaded through the image list uploader in the product editor. The workflow:

  1. Click the image uploader in the product editor.
  2. Select or capture images (mobile camera capture is available on phones).
  3. Images are cropped, converted to WebP, and uploaded to Amazon S3.
  4. The first image becomes the main/hero image; additional images appear in the gallery.

On the product detail page, images render in an interactive gallery with lazy loading.

Dimensions and Shipping​

The Web Editor's Dimensions / Weight tab captures:

  • Product dimensions — height, width, depth, weight (units depend on your API configuration).
  • Shipping dimensions — shipping length, width, height, weight in ounces.

Shipping dimensions are used when calculating shipping costs for online orders.

Property Groups​

The Property Groups tab lets you copy attribute groups from another product or define custom property sets. These appear on the product detail page and can influence WordPress visibility when the WordPress plugin is active.

Group Props Display​

For cannabis products, groupProps render on the product detail page showing strain attributes (terpene profiles, effects, flavors). The chemical spinners (THC/CBD visualizers) appear alongside group props for cannabis item types.

Special Description​

An optional secondary description that renders in its own "Special" accordion panel on the product detail page. Only shown when content exists.

Ingredients Panel​

For cannabis, food, alcohol, grocery, and tobacco item types, an "Ingredients" accordion panel appears on the product detail page showing chemical compositions and ingredient data.

  • Warning "Not visible in WordPress" — lists the specific reasons (missing barcode, low inventory, etc.).
