How to Add a Quilt to the Gallery
In the upper right corner of the dashboard, you will see an icon and either “The Quilt Show Gallery” or “The Quilt Show Store.” If it says “The Quilt Show Store,” click on it and choose The Quilt Show Gallery from the dropdown.
In the column on the left side of the screen, click Products
The product Page will load and you will see a list of all products. Each product is a quilt listing. IN the upper right of the page, click the Add product button
Complete the fields in the left section.
Title: Quilt Name
Description: Entire quilt description including maker name, quilter name, techniques, size, etc. You should not need to add any additional formatting unless you want to bold or italicize something.
Media: Upload the quilt images here. Once uploaded you will be able to reorder them if you need to, and clicking on an image allows you to edit it with a basic editing tool.
Category: This will auto populate- delete the contents.
Price: Ignore this (should be $0.00)
Inventory: Slide the Inventory Tracked slider in the upper right of the box to the left, setting it to Inventory Not Tracked.
Shipping: Slide the Physical Product slider in the upper right of the box to the left, setting it to Not a physical product
Variants: Ignore this
Metafields: ignore this
Search Engine Listing: This will auto populate based on your listing. Update the URL Handle to the artist’s name in lower case with hyphens between words.
Complete the fields in the right section
Status: Set this to Active to make it live right away, or draft to save a draft.
Publishing: Click the small settings icon in the right top corner of the box. Slide the Point of Sale and Shop sliders to the left, turning them off. (Shop, in this case, is not the Shopify Gallery). Click Done at the bottom of the box.
To set the publishing date and time, click the small clock icon in the gray online store box and choose the time and date (product must be set to active to go live- if left in draft it will not go live).
Product Organization Type: Click and select Featured (for featured quilts) or Member (for Member Quilts)
Product Organization Vendor: Add the quilt maker’s name here
Product Organization Tags: Choose appropriate tags from the dropdown menu.
Tags: This is what adds the quilt to categories. It is a bit messy due to the number of tags we have on the old site, so do the best you can. To add a tag, begin typing the tag you want into the tags field, and then select the tag from the dropdown menu that will appear below. DO NOT type a tag into the field and click the gray “+ Add Tag Name”- this will create a new tag and add to the confusion. If you see multiple tags that may apply to the quilt you are adding, check them all.
Theme Template: Leave it set to Default Product.
