Simple products

The easiest type of product to create is unsurprisingly called a simple product. It's important to know how to create a simple product because everything else is based on it. So, you'll want to know exactly how to manipulate a simple product.

A good example of a simple product would be anything that comes in one format, such as a coffee cup, ring, or backpack. You can add a new product through your WordPress admin under Products | Add New.

We're going to look into a few different aspects of simple products:

• Required and optional fields—to add useful data to the product page
• Taxonomies (categories and tags)—to make it easy for users to browse through our store
• Images—to instantly communicate what our product looks like
• Description fields—to describe your products.
