Overview
Product templates let you pre-fill fields whenever a new product is created in your project. This saves time, enforces consistency, and reduces manual data entry for your team.Template defaults only apply to newly created products. Existing products are not affected when you change template settings.
Product Defaults
Set the baseline values that every new product starts with.Status and Type
- Default status — Choose whether new products start as Draft (hidden from channels), Active (published), or Archived (hidden but preserved).
- Default product type — Select from Simple (standalone), Configurable (with variants like size or color), Bundle (grouped products), or Virtual (non-physical, such as a service).
Visibility
Toggle whether new products are visible on connected channels by default. When disabled, new products remain hidden until you explicitly publish them.Brand and Supplier
Pre-fill default brand and supplier names. These values appear on every new product and can be overridden individually.Family and Category
If your account has product families and categories configured, you can assign a default for each. New products will automatically be placed in the selected family and category.Default Pricing
