Im have an issue viewing my store
i uploaded my first product, but when I go to preview or press the little eye, nothing happens.
When I press “online store” on the left of the screen, a preview of my store come up with my store name but with the simple theme example products, not my own import product.
I’ve set my product to “Active” to see that makes a difference, it doesn’t.
In order to have your products displaying on your storefront, you’ll want to do two things - add the products to a collection and add the collection to the navigation menu.
In order to add your products to a collection, you need to do the following -
Navigate to Products > Collections.
Click on Create Collection
Complete all the fields on the page. In the Collection type section, you can select Manual for the time being.
Click on Save*.*
You can then go to Products, click on the checkbox next to the product you uploaded.
Click on More Actions > Add to Collection(s), select the collection you created and save.
Here is our Shopify Help Guide with more information on Collections.
Once you have completed the above, you will then need to add this collection to your Navigation -
Navigate to Online Store > Navigation.
Click on Main Menu.
Click on Add menu item.
Fill out the Name field and in the Link field, search for the collection you had created.
Click on Add and Save.
You should now be able to see your product on the store front. Let me know if you have any issues whilst completing the steps above.
I would also like to ensure you have everything set up and ready for when you launch so here is a Set-Up Checklist you can refer to as you set everything up.
