What you need for a product upload:
Optionally, you can provide the following information to help users find your products:
The name or title of your product, it should be short and concise so that it is fully displayed in the product overview.
Upload images of your product here. It is important to upload several product images that present the product well from all angles. Also detailed pictures, for example, of noble buttons or the high-quality fabric of a dress are important to give potential buyers the feeling that they can inspect the product in detail online.
You can use our automatic background removal AI tool here to make your product images look even more professional. You can find a detailed description below the text.
If you have multiple stores and e.g. an Obolify store for each of them, you can specify the Obolify store under which the product can be purchased. This is important e.g. for Click & Collect collections.
The categories that best describe your product. You can select up to 3 categories. Your product will then be displayed in these categories in Discover products and suggested to other products in the same category.
Enter here the gross price of your product for end consumers. If you provide different variants with different prices, you should enter the price of the cheapest variant here, as this price will be displayed on the product page. Under Variants you can enter the individual prices for each variant.
If you would like to save your product as a draft for the time being, then select not visible here. This product can only be seen by you, but not by your buyers.
Availability refers to the available quantity of the product. Limit the available quantity of your product if you want to.
Keywords are used to better match users' search queries with products.
Here you can describe your product in detail and go into all the details. This text is visible on your product page.
You can use our AI tool for the automatic creation of product descriptions. You can find more information about this further down in the text.
Here you can specify additional information about your product such as:
Additionally, you can enter individual specifications and add them to the list by clicking Add. Then enter the specification property in the field.
Variants describe different versions of the same product, such as different sizes and colors. You can use our templates for size, color and gender or create your own variant set.
If different colors have different product prices, you can specify them here:
Don't forget to save your newly entered variants.
Enter an optional discount for the product here. This is calculated in percent (%). Example: an entry of 5 results in a discount of 5%. Discount promotions should be used tactically and for a limited time to encourage users to make a purchase.
If you want to offer online shipping and click & collect - i.e. you can receive payments from buyers* - you may also need the following documents or information:
Here you can specify for how long your product can be rented:
How much does it cost to rent your product? If you have specified daily as the rental cycle, you can enter the rental price per day here.
How long can your product be rented? The rental period depends on the rental cycle. If you have selected the daily rental cycle, you can specify here the minimum and maximum number of days for which your product can be rented.
Here you specify whether buyers can also buy your product via online shipping or via Click & Collect and pick up.
Here you can choose where to send your product:
Enter the cost of shipping here. Keep in mind that free shipping can increase sales by an average of 10% (source). However, free shipping must be economically viable for you.
So consider beforehand what product price you would have to specify for free shipping and for which products you want to exclude shipping or free shipping. This is the case, for example, if products are very cheap or are particularly difficult to ship. Change here if necessary the settings under 'My Shop' -> 'Edit Shop' -> Online Sales 'Would I like to decide individually' to decide per product for this.
Here you specify whether users can reserve your product in the store. Users enter a date and time for this. You will receive an email with the reservation request and can confirm or cancel it.
For the best possible user experience, we ask you to process reservation requests quickly and reserve the respective product in the store.
Note that Obolify charges a 5% gross fee each for referrals of online sales, click & collect, rentals and reservations, including payment partner costs.
AI tool for automatic background removal
You can quickly and easily remove backgrounds from your product images. Upload your product and click the arrow in the upper right corner.
Now you can choose if you want a classic white background or you can choose the following three additional background colors. We recommend to choose an inverted background color. I.e. for a light product rather choose a dark background and for a dark product a light background.
As shown below, diffuse backgrounds can also be removed in this way. In general, however, we recommend that you make the background as subtle as possible when photographing the product. For example, you should avoid dark background elements on a black shirt. The more contrasty the background and the more similar the colors in the background are to your product, the more difficult it is for the AI tool to crop the background well.
Note that this AI tool costs an additional fee of 0.20€ per background removal.
AI-Tool for the automatic creation of product descriptions
To make the time-consuming creation of product descriptions easier for you, we have implemented an AI tool that generates product descriptions using a few keywords. You can use this as a first draft and adjust it here and there if necessary. Click on Create product description with AI.
The following window will appear. Product information that you have already entered will be displayed here.
Enter additional properties that describe the effect of your product or in which season it can be worn. For example: elegant, casual, winter/spring/summer/fall collection, airy, shabby, etc.
Note that this AI tool costs an additional fee of 0,10€ per created product description.
