4. Common Setup Mistakes to Avoid

Remember

Create a draft product first to test all settings before making it active. This allows you to perfect the setup without affecting live inventory.

Product creation settings cannot be bulk-edited after saving, so ensure accuracy during initial setup.

Always preview your product in all sales channels (retail store, rep store, share page) before activation.
