All Products:

The following is a break down of the settings used to create the inventory for the item and its variants:

1. The title is the name already assigned to the product.
2. The URL Keyword was also assigned during the previous steps of creating the product listing.
3. If the box is left un-checked, it is possible that the shop will sell a product for which there is no stock available.  However, this first box deals with inventory that is automatically ordered by the system.  That would not apply to your shop, so you can check it or leave it unchecked.
4. It is best to allow the system to monitor inventory if your products are physical products.  The system will send you an alert if stock levels are below the number you set in this form.   This is not an issue with digital products and can be left unchecked.
5. This box is completed if you checked box 4.  
6. This is usually set at one or higher.
7. Max download times is the number of times you will allow the product to be downloaded by the user.  When a digital product is purchased, the download link appears in the user's digital library until the link expires or they reach their maximum number of downloads.  If you want to allow unlimited downloads enter -1 in the line.
8. Validity is the number of days that the link to the download will be valid.  If you would allow the download link to never expire enter -1 in the box.
9. Set the publish line to yes, if the product is to be available for purchase. 
10. Set the date at which time the product will be available.  This is usually set to the date the form is completed.
11. Items 11-14 are completed for each variant or option.  Item 11 is the wholesale price for the product.
12. The selling price, is the price the seller places on the product.
13. The available quantity is set to number of items on hand.  In the case of digital products, either disable the system tracking in #4 or set the number to an extremely high number.
14. The SKU is mandatory.  It must be unique for the entire system.  You can create the SKU based on the name of the Item and a random number.
15. This box allows the seller to provide additional instructions to the buyer. 

When all the boxes have been checked and the lines completed select the "Save Changes" button.

Digital Products:

The final step for digital products is to create the download file and the preview for each variant.  

When the "Save Changes" button is selected and the products are digital products the Downloads tab becomes active.

The following will walk you through the process of creating digital downloads for your variants.

1. The type that is selected for #1 is Digital Download File.
2. Item number 2 is changed for each variant in the product option.  In the example above the current variant is the Dark Background. 
3. Notice that the digital downloads can vary based on language.
4. Use the Choose File button to choose the file that will be uploaded to the store.  The supported files include mp3, audio files, image files, pdf, .doc, .docx and Zip files.  If you want to provide your customers with a file that is not supported, such as a PowerPoint file, it will need to be compressed into a Zip file.
5. The Upload preview is the image that is used to identify the product in the invoice and in the download's library.
6. Select the "Upload" option.  Do not leave the window until you receive a confirmation message that the upload was successful.  The upload can take several minutes for large files.
7. Area 7 will show all the files that will be attached to the selected product variant.
