Editing Product Details, Variants & Pricing

Click Dropdown for Guided Instructions

1. Review and Edit Product Details:

Click Continue to Details.

Edit the product's Title and Description. My Easy Monogram provides pre-written descriptions for each product, but you can customize these to better fit your store’s voice and branding. Feel free to make the description your own!

💡Tags are used internally within the MEM app for product management and do not transfer into Shopify.

Description: Here you can edit your products "Title", "Description" & "Tags". My Easy Monogram has created descriptions for each product. If you’d like to update the copy, this is the place to do it.

2. Review Pricing:

Ensure pricing, compare pricing, and profit margins are correctly set. Remember: the cost is what you pay for the product and the price is what your customer pays.
Adjust based on Global and Advanced Pricing Settings if needed.
Remove product variants if necessary by using the toggle button to the right of each variant.

💡The SKU must maintain key elements for product identification but can be shortened if necessary to meet Etsy's requirements. For example, a SKU like "MEM-346-00-12-Black-Mild Steel-0.06-1" can be shortened to "MEM-346-00-12-Black" to ensure compatibility with Etsy's platform while preserving essential product details.

3. Verify Images:

Ensure pre-loaded images accurately represent the product variants.

Click Continue to Details.
- Edit Title and Description (default text is provided by MEM, but you can customize).
- Note: Tags are for internal MEM use only and don’t sync to Shopify.
Review Pricing & Variants:
- Cost = what you pay MEM
- Price = what your customer pays
- Profit = your margin
Example: Cost $40 → Price $79.99 → Profit $39.99
Toggle off any variants you don’t want to sell.
Verify that images match correctly for each variant.

📌 Note on SKUs:

SKUs must keep key product identifiers.
For Etsy, SKUs may be shortened:
- Long SKU: MEM-346-00-12-Black-Mild Steel-0.06-1
- Short SKU: MEM-346-00-12-Black

Importing Products to Shopify
