C. Product Companion
• Purpose: The Product Companion feature allows you to associate related products to cross-sell or upsell.
• How to Use:
• Select a main product and choose other products to associate with it (e.g., pairing a notebook with a pen).
• Save the association to display companion products on the product page.
• Use Case: Great for linking related items like men’s and women’s versions of a product or promoting accessories alongside main products.
D. View Product
• Purpose: Click View Product to see how your product looks on the storefront, providing a preview of the product’s landing page as seen by shoppers.
• Use Case: Use this to verify that product images, descriptions, and associated items are displayed correctly.
E. Clone Product
• Purpose: Clone Product duplicates an existing product, creating a new version that you can customize further without starting from scratch.
• How to Use:
• Cloning saves the new product in draft mode to prevent accidental publication.
• Edit the cloned product to update details such as design, color options, and logos.
• Make sure to change the product name, as it will retain the original name by default.
• Use Case: Ideal for creating variations of a product with different designs or configurations, saving time and maintaining consistency.
