Product
You can create a product asset to advertise one of your products in Brightspot. This topic describes creating a new product from scratch; however, products are more commonly generated via import from an integration with Shopify.
Note
When configuring a Shopify integration, you can enable automatic actions that automate the curation and maintenance of your Shopify products in Brightspot, including:
- Automatically importing new products to Brightspot when they are created in Shopify.
- Automatically updating products imported to Brightspot when they are updated in Shopify.
- Automatically deleting products imported to Brightspot when they are deleted in Shopify.
After products are imported from Shopify into Brightspot, any edits made to the content edit form described in this topic override the imported values from Shopify. Overrides in this case only apply to the imported product in Brightspot and do not flow back to the product on Shopify. For details on how to import products from Shopify, see Importing Shopify products into Brightspot.
