Product Upload Training

We start by learning how your team works today. We ask who adds products, how often, how many products you have and which problems occur: wrong categories, duplicate items, slow pages, price mistakes or confusion over variants. We look at your platform setup, such as fields, attributes, categories, tax settings and the way the theme displays products. We then prepare a training plan matching roles and skill levels. A person adding ten products a month needs a different session from someone managing a thousand. Training is delivered by video call or in person, in groups or one-to-one, in short sessions of 60 to 90 minutes rather than a single long day. The first session covers how the catalogue is organised: categories, tags, attributes and the difference between a simple product and one with variants. We then walk through adding a product from start to finish. This includes writing a clear title that follows a pattern, a short description that answers buyers’ questions, a long description with specifications, care or usage details and policies, and careful use of keywords without stuffing; see product descriptions. We show how to prepare images: the right dimensions, cropping, background, file size, descriptive file names and alternative text, and how to use a gallery. We cover pricing fields, sale dates, tax classes, shipping classes and stock management, including backorders and low-stock alerts. Next comes variants, where mistakes are common: how to set colours and sizes, assign images to variants and keep SKUs unique. We practise on a test product that is hidden from customers. In a later session we teach bulk work: exporting products to a spreadsheet, editing columns safely, importing updates, mapping fields and checking for errors. We stress backups before big changes. We also cover quality checks: viewing the product page on mobile, testing add-to-cart, checking the category listing, confirming that price and stock show correctly and reviewing the page’s title tag and description. We give a one-page checklist for every upload, plus a short style guide for titles, images and descriptions so that the catalogue looks consistent. Trainees complete an exercise, uploading a set of real products, and we review their work and give feedback. We record sessions for new staff and provide a support window of two to four weeks for questions; see WordPress administration training for wider admin skills. We cannot guarantee that listings will rank or sell, since price, demand and competition matter, but a team that follows a standard process makes fewer errors and keeps the store tidy.
