Bigcommerce is a SaaS, cloud-based solution that offers control and flexibility to set up products to the specific needs of the store owner empowering B2B and B2C ecommerce. It is very user convenient to manage the products whether they are physical or digital; simple or have variations in attributes; visible in store or not. To set up products for the store as:
- Go to Products -> Add
- Under the Basic Information section, it is mandatory to provide Product Name, Default Price and Weight of the product (if it is a physical type of product). SKU, Product Type, Brand, Categories can be provided as per preference.
A brand allows shoppers to search for products by brand name (e.g. Allen Solley, Maybelline, Play Station).
Categories are useful to cluster products based on similar attributes. For example,

- Kids, Women, Men for clothing/ apparels
- Apps & games for video games, PC games, etc.
- In the description section, information about your product is provided along with plain text, bullet points, links, or additional images and videos.
