My Shopify that I'm setting up won't let me list products.

Shopify Discussion

Topic summary

Issue: Products wouldn’t appear on the live site or in the theme editor (Dawn 15.2.0). Only the theme’s default placeholder items showed. Collections were set up and visible in the editor but displayed no products. Product pages could be previewed from the admin with a different URL, but not shown on the shop.

Prior attempts: A referenced thread’s solution didn’t resolve the problem initially.

Root cause: Product sales channel availability was misconfigured—items were enabled everywhere except the Online Store, a leftover setting from when sales were in-person only. (“Sales channel availability” controls where products can be sold, e.g., Online Store, POS.)

Resolution: Enabling products for the Online Store channel fixed the issue.

Status: Resolved. No unresolved questions or ongoing disagreements noted.

This question was asked on this thread, and I also posted on the thread saying I’m still having the issue and the solution didn’t work. https://community.shopify.com/post/2196906

My products will not post in the theme editor or the live version of my website. I can get the product pages to show up if I work in Shopify products and view the shop page, but it comes up with a completely different url, and no amount of editing on the backend or front end will get this to work on my shop.

The only products that show up on my store are the default preview ones from the theme. I’m using Dawn 15.2.0 (just updated it), My collections were prepared on my store and appear on the theme editor, but do not post the products despite being successfully listed when customizing the theme.
