# Create a physical product

Use **Admin > Products** to create and maintain physical products. Products appears once **Products** is on in **Admin > Settings > Offerings**, under **Selling**; it is off for a new business. See [Turn selling on](/help-center/offerings-settings#turn-selling-on).

## Add the product

1. Open **Admin > Products** and select the **Products** tab if it is not already selected.
2. Select **New product**.
3. In **Details**, enter the required **Product Name** and **Price** greater than zero. You can also add a **Description**, choose a **Category**, and upload a **Product Image**.
4. Leave **Track stock** on for items you count, or turn it off for items such as coffee. **Sold online** shows when **Products › Online** is ticked in **Admin > Settings > Offerings**. It starts off: turn it on to put the product in your Shop. If the product's category is in your Shop, the switch is on and says so.
5. Under **Tax treatment**, choose one option. **Configured business rate** and **Product override** need your business tax profile in **Admin > Settings > Tax** (see [Tax settings](/help-center/tax-settings)). **Non-taxable / out of scope** does not.
6. Select **Next**.
7. In **Inventory**, select **Add** and enter a variant **Type**, **Value**, and **Qty** when the item has sizes or colours. With **Track stock** on, add at least one complete variant. With it off, a plain product can have no variants.
8. Select **Create**.
9. The new product starts as a draft and is labelled **Inactive** in the product list. Use the row actions to choose **Activate** or **Stop selling** when you need to change its status.

Choose one of your [product categories](/help-center/organize-physical-products-by-category) or **No category**. Use [stock by location](/help-center/manage-physical-product-stock#stock-at-more-than-one-location) to choose where to keep the opening stock.

## Change the product after creation

Expand the product row in **Admin > Products** to check the details and status. Use **Edit details**, **Manage images**, or **Manage inventory** from its row actions to make changes.

You can upload one image while creating the product. The dialog recommends **800×800px** and accepts files up to **5MB**.

After creating the product, open **Manage images** from its row actions to add more images. The image manager accepts JPEG, PNG, and WebP files up to **5MB**. It labels one image **Primary**; you can choose another image as primary or delete an existing image.

## If you cannot create it

If **New product** is disabled, check the business setting named on the Products page. If **Create** is disabled, check the required fields and, when tracking stock, complete at least one variant. If **Where is it kept?** appears, select a location. If the product is missing from the list, clear the search and check the other pages on the **Products** tab.
