Prestashop is an online store system that is freely available to the public. This system is designed with PHP programming language and MySQL database, by installing which you can create your store in a short time.
In the previous articles, we learned about Prestashop and its installation on the local environment. In this article, we want to add a product to our site.
The product page is the final destination of the customer. By seeing the specifications and information that we have entered on this page, the customer decides whether to make a purchase or not.

In PrestaShop, we can define 3 types of products:

• Standard product
• Package of products
• Virtual product
  
  We will discuss each of them below.

How to add a product in PrestaShop?

5- Additional information about the product is placed in this section. Note that the number of characters in these two sections is limited.

6- In this section, you specify whether your products are simple or have a combination. For example, if you sell clothes, each product can have different colors and sizes, and a different price is included for each, in which case you should choose a combined product. For example, maybe you want to pay a higher price for an orange dress that has an X-large size.

13- If your product has special characteristics, you can categorize it from this section so that it is easier for the user to choose, for example, for skin products, the characteristics include how many grams of the product, what type of skin is it for (oily, dry, normal), special It is a special group or disease and the like.
