⚠️ GUIDE NOTE: Pardon the dust! This guide still under construction. ⚠️
⚠️ PRODUCTS ARE CREATED VIA APLIIQ ⚠️
Each product has a Shopify Product Page and its here were all the products stay within unisen. Below is a complete walk through the Shopify Product Page, and all the assets that go into it, ONLY AFTER its been created via Apliiq.
TITLE: The Title is created when making the product inside Apliiq. This should be the name of the shirt which will be used in the web as its name. You can change the Title of the shirt after things have been created, just make sure to also change the URL to reflect such if its a larger change.
DESCRIPTION: The Description although meant for the website, is used by other platforms like Facebook, TikTok, and others. So make sure to place in here. Meta Descriptions, and Product Descriptions Meta Field.
When a Product is created in Apliiq, the description is created using their blank template description. Make sure to replace it in all there areas:
Product Descriptions
Meta Description
URL
Product Descriptions Meta Field
⚠️ When a new product is created in Apliiq, its extremely important that the images Apliiq uploads are replaced with proper layflat images. That process can be found via LAYFLAT CREATION ⚠️
Please make sure to go through the creation process of the layflats. Delete the Auto created ones Apliiq AUTO adds, and Upload the proper ones from the drive.
These Images should be SQUARE ASSETS. At least 2000px x 2000x
The category helps auto build the Product Layout. When you create the product, it will say UNCATEGORIED. So you will need to go in and choose the category that best classifies the product added
⚠️ THIS AREA NOT TO BE TOUCHED ⚠️
This area is auto created within Apliiq. To create a new variant, you must do so within Apliiq. CLICK HERE to learn more of that process.
⚠️ THESE IMAGES NEED RESET AFTER UPDATING MAIN IMAGES ⚠️
These images are what thumbnails are assigned to each variant. These are displayed on the Product Cards in collections, as well as the main Product Page. This will also be whats displayed in the CART. IF THERE IS NO IMAGE, it will show up as a box with the name of the color variant.
⚠️ For this to work the images must be fully uploaded to the main image section otherwise they will not show up until they are. ⚠️
To change these:
Open the sizes collapsed using the ⌃
Select the BOX of all the same Color Variants for each size.
Once all same colors selected, click the top right button next to bulk edit. The bottom has 3 Dots. • • •
Click EDIT IMAGE
Select the Proper Image to display
Do this per color
If the variants do not have a image, the variants will then show up as a WORD with a BOX around it. So when you look at the website and see this, its a good indication the variants are lacking images. Using the steps above will fix this.
⚠️ CATEGORY METAFIELDS: DO NOT ADJUST OR TOUCH CATEGORY METAFIELDS ⚠️
PRODUCT META FIELDS:
This is where the meta fields for each product page collapsible text is placed.
⚠️There is no formatting in these sections. To do bullets for a list, like in FEATURES, use the TEXT BULLET ( • ). Feel free to copy this one. ⚠️
Product Trust Block : This block is the image used in the Product Pages for image of details for the product
Badges: This is for custom badges on product cards
SizeChartData: Leave Blank
Shipping: Leave Blank
Care Guide: This is where we put a few sentences about the proper care for the product.
Product Features: This is for the product features. This is where its good to display the material its made from. Also where using the TEXT BULLET to seperate the items.
Product Description: This is the product description. Its important to keep this just around a few sentences.
size_chart_url: Leave Blank
This is where you would edit the URL. Also the META description for the product.
Its important the URL is not edited unless it needs to be.
This is where you can adjust where the product is seen, schedule it to be launch, as well as turn it to draft mode if theres a issue that needs adjusted.
STATUS:
ACTIVE: LIVE on all PUBLISHING channels.
DRAFT: Not viewable anywhere.
PUBLISHING:
SALES CHANNEL: ONLINE STORE
⚠️ Its important that ONLINE STORE is selected. If it is not, then it will not show. ⚠️
When Apliiq creates products, this channel is not selected.
This section has a number of different things to it. The most important to focus on is COLLECTIONS and TAGS.
PRODUCT TYPE: This is auto-created. Doesn't really need ever touched unless its noticed the type is completely wrong.
VENDOR: This is auto-created with Apliiq. If/when we manufacture our own, we will then place the vendor here to help organize our stock. This is for internal purposes only.
COLLECTIONS: Some collections auto add within the COLLECTION part of Sopify. They will not appear here. Here you will select what COLLECTIONS this product should appear. The ones in BLUE are the ones that the Product is AUTO added too.
CLASSIC: Brand Items that soley branded, nothing else. Very bold, basic, brand focused.
EXPRESSIONS: This is the majority of items at the moment. These are items that like streetwear, sharing different sayings, artistic; not product driven and/or simple brand elements. They can be shirts that have the brand on them.
PERFORMANCE: This is all our activewear or items that focused in performance.
TAGS:
Blank - Here you will add a tag that shares the blank. For example for the Bella Canva 3001 which is the majority of out TShirts, its "BLANK : BC3001". Its important to keep the style exact since the tags will link to other things.
Size Charts: Inside the Size Chart App, the BLANK tag is what categories the products sharing the same blanks, since they would have the same size chart
Reviews: There is a collection made for each BLANK. Mainly BC3001 and IND4000. As products are created and this tag is made, they are auto added to those spaces. This auto adds the reviews to the new products with those tags.
Reference: This is also an internal thing. Its extremely important we dont list this anywhere posted on the site. The Blank Info. Not in the URL, the description, features, etc.
Material: Add what material it is. We will not only use this for reference, but use this to work on the filter of collections.
Sexual Design of Product: Is the product designed for a specific sex.
Location: Locations help dictate label for Printing Location:
- Location: APQ
- Location: FLL
Any other Micro Categories: Accessories, Bags, Hats, Tops, Bottoms, Joggers, Etc.
