How to create Simple Products

How to create Simple Products

A simple product is a physical item with a single SKU. Simple products have a variety of pricing and of input controls which makes it possible to sell variations of the product. Simple products can be used in association with grouped, bundle, and configurable products.

1. Log in to Omnyfy Marketplace Backend. On the Admin sidebar, go to Catalog Products




2. The page will open a list of all the products available. To create a new one, choose the Simple Product option, near Add Product.





Creating the Product and adding details

3. Choose the Attribute set for the new simple product


  • The attribute set is the template used to create the new product. Depending on the attribute set, different attributes will be required.

4. Enter the remaining Product information


  • Enable Product: Maintain the option Yes

  • Product Name: The name of the product

  • SKUGenerally the SKU will be created from the name, however each vendor should have a unique identifier that includes either their Vendor ID or initials of their vendor name at the start - so that it does not match any other potential vendor (otherwise it will just be serialised) 

  • Price: Enter the price of the single product

  • Tax Class: Choose between Taxable Goods, None, or if you have your own custom Tax Class

  • Change all the other necessary attributes available. Attributes may change depending on the attributes set.

As you progress, managing the inventory will depend on which version of Omnyfy the platform is using (if you are unsure, please consult with your project/support manager). Please see below the difference.


Managing the Inventory

For Omnyfy V4

Inventory is managed via Sources


You can select from all available sources (Vendors will only be able to see/select their own sources)



Once a source is selected, click on Done from the top right. The source will appear in the product detail page and you can insert the quantity of products here.


To control the Advanced Inventory, you can select the Advanced Inventory tab, and make necessary additions to the stock management for this product.

For Omnyfy V2

Inventory is controlled by Locations, however you will still need to input information in the product page for stock (this can just be a really high number such as 99999).



Ensure that there are values in here, and then input the real inventory in Locations.


Category, Content, and Media

5. Assign a category for the product. Please note, when assigning a subcategory, all the parents categories need to be marked as well.




6. Open the Content tab.


  • Insert Long Description and Short Description. These descriptions will appear in the product page.

7. Open the Images and Videos Tab.


  • Click Browse to find and select one image for the product. You can insert as many as needed.


  • OPTIONAL: Click Add Video to insert a video for the product. Enter the information needed (URL, Title, Description, Preview Image and assign the role of the video). When complete, click Save to add the video.


Other Product Attributes
