Managing Your Products
The Products page is where you manage everything you sell — names, prices, photos, options like size and color, and how each item is organized. It's built as a dense, spreadsheet-like list so you can scan hundreds of products quickly, then drop into a full editor whenever you need to change the details of one.

The Products List
When you open Products, you land on a list rather than a grid of cards. Every row is a product, with its photo thumbnail, name, price, stock, and status visible at a glance. This layout is deliberately dense — similar to what you'd expect from a modern e-commerce platform — so that a merchant with 500 SKUs doesn't have to scroll forever to find one item.
At the top of the list sits a filter bar for narrowing down what you see, and above that, tabs that split products by their publishing status.
Status Tabs
Products live in one of three states, shown as tabs across the top of the list:
- Active — visible and purchasable on your storefront and available to sell through orders.
- Draft — still being prepared. Not visible to customers. Use this while you're waiting on photos, pricing decisions, or stock.
- Archived — retired products you no longer sell but want to keep for historical records (old orders still reference them correctly).
Switching tabs instantly filters the list without leaving the page, so you can quickly check "what's still in Draft that I forgot to publish."
Filtering, Searching, and Columns
The filter bar lets you search by product name or SKU, and narrow the list by category, vendor, or stock level. Combine filters to answer questions like "show me all Active products from this vendor that are low on stock."
The list's columns are toggleable — you choose which data matters most to your workflow. Turn on cost price if you're checking margins, turn on vendor if you manage multiple suppliers, or keep the list lean with just name, price, and stock when you just need to browse quickly. Your column choices are just a display preference — hiding a column doesn't remove or change any data.
Variant Parents and Their Children
If a product comes in multiple options — like a T-shirt in three sizes and four colors — it's represented as a variant parent in the list, with each specific combination (e.g. "Red, Large") as a child variant underneath it.
Rather than cluttering the list with every variant as its own row, variant parents show as a single row with an expand control. Click it, and the row opens inline to reveal all of that product's variants, each with its own price, stock, and SKU. This keeps the top-level list readable while still giving you full control over every individual variant when you need it.
The Product Editor
Clicking into any product opens a full, dedicated editor page — not a small popup or modal. This gives you room to work through everything about a product in one place: its name and description, pricing (selling price, and optionally a "compare at" price to show a discount), images, category assignment, weight (used for courier shipping calculations), SEO fields for its storefront page, and its options and variants.
Because it's a full page rather than a modal, you can also use your browser's back and forward navigation naturally, and nothing about the rest of your dashboard is blocked while you edit.
Options, Variants, and SKUs
For products with variants, the editor lets you define option groups — for example, "Size" with values Small, Medium, Large, or "Color" with values Red, Blue, Black. You can reorder the values within an option by dragging them, which controls the order they appear in on your storefront and throughout the dashboard (so "Small, Medium, Large" shows in that logical order rather than however they were typed).
Once your options are set, Omnikyo automatically generates every combination as a variant — two options with three and four values each will generate twelve variants for you, with no manual row-by-row creation needed. Each generated variant also gets its own SKU automatically, following a consistent pattern based on the parent product, so you're never left inventing SKU codes by hand. You can still edit any generated SKU afterward if you have your own numbering system.
Bulk Actions from the List
Selecting multiple products with their checkboxes reveals a bulk action bar for making the same change across many products at once — updating their status, moving them into a category, or archiving a batch that's been discontinued. This is the fastest route when the change you need is the same value applied to many items.
The Bulk Editor (Spreadsheet Mode)
When you need to change many different values across many products — updating individual prices, adjusting stock levels per location, or tweaking descriptions for a batch of items — open the spreadsheet-style bulk editor. It presents your products and variants as rows and columns, much like a spreadsheet, so you can edit values inline and save many changes in a single pass instead of opening each product individually.
This view includes per-location stock columns, so if your business tracks inventory across more than one warehouse or outlet, you can adjust stock for each location directly from the same grid. See the Inventory guide for more on how multi-location stock works.
Categories, Collections, and Metafields Live on Catalog
Organizational tools — Categories (hierarchical groupings like "Clothing > Men > Shirts"), Collections (curated groups of products, whether picked by hand or built from rules), and Metafields (custom extra fields you define for your products) — are managed on a separate Catalog page, not inside Products itself. Think of Products as where you manage individual items, and Catalog as where you manage the structure those items are organized into.
Bundles and Combo Deals
Omnikyo's product catalog doesn't have a dedicated "bundle" or "kit" product type — every product you create in Products is a single sellable item (or a variant of one). If you want to offer combo deals or bundles — like "buy 2 get 1 free" or a curated gift set — that's a storefront feature rather than a catalog feature. You build it visually in your store builder, which composes the offer from your existing products at the point of sale. See your store builder documentation for how to set up combo and bundle offers.
