Manual products
Vimmi platform allows you to create products, which can be added to videos and live events making them shoppable.
This article explains how to create a new product by setting all the product information manually.

How to create a product
To create a new product, first go to the "Products" tab in the top menu of the Vimmi console.
On the "Products" page you will see all your previously imported and created products.

Configuring the product
On the product creation page put necessary information into corresponding fields.
Name - the name of the product, which will be shown in your shoppable videos and live events.
Price - the price entered here will be displayed as the actual price customers will pay when they purchase your product.
Compare-at Price - this optional field is used to show the original price of the product before any discounts or sales. If you enter a value here, the product page will display both the original price (struck through) and the discounted price (entered to the “Price” field). Please make sure that the "Compare-at price" value is higher than the value set in the "Price" field.
Product Link - the URL to the product page, which will be opened when the user opens the product page (for example, by clicking the product overlay of the shoppable video in the Embed on your web-site or scanning the QR code of the product in the video on connected video platforms and social networks). Please make sure that the URL is correct and directs to the appropriate product page of the online store.
