What it does
Products entered one by one in a hurry end up with gaps. A variation with no price cannot be bought. A colour has no photo, so the picture never changes. Nothing is preselected, so the page looks empty. A service lets a buyer put two in the cart. This skill plans each product before you enter it. It picks the product type, builds shared options such as Size and Colour once, then lists every variation as a row with its own SKU, price, stock, weight and photo. It sets the stock rule, the sale price with an end date, categories, and the upsells and cross-sells. It marks what is still missing. It works for a small catalogue entered by hand. Writing the title and description is a different job, so it leaves that to a product copy skill.
You give it
- Your products with their options (size, colour, weight, with or without an extra)
- Prices, sale prices and stock for each
- Photos for each option (optional, but needed for the picture swap)
- Whether each item ships, downloads or is a service, and whether stock is held or dropshipped
- Your platform (Shopify or WooCommerce)
- Product photos (optional)
You get
- A product type for each item and a shared option list
- A variant table: option combination, SKU, price, stock, weight and image
- Categories, tags, and upsell and cross-sell links
- One sheet per product to fill in, and a list of what is still missing

- You have a product with sizes and colours and do not know how to set up the variations.
- You sell a service, an ebook or an affiliate item and are not sure which product type to pick.
