The Products page (in the SELL section of your Vendor Dashboard) is where you add and manage everything you sell. It has three tabs:
Published – products that are live and available for shoppers to buy.
Drafts – products you're still working on. Shoppers can't see them.
Archived – products you've removed from your active listings.
Adding a product
Click Add Product (top right of the Products page, or New Product under Quick Actions on your dashboard home). The Add a product form opens.
Product Basics
Name (required) – a clear, descriptive name.
Category (required) – pick the closest match from the list. There's no "Other" option.
Pricing
Price (required) – what the shopper pays. If you turn on Product Options (below), each option gets its own price instead.
Images
Click Add Photo. Each image must be under 10 MB.
Keep photos the same shape (all landscape or all portrait), use plain backgrounds, and show more than one angle when it helps.
Advanced Details
Click Advanced Details to open it. It holds four optional settings:
Description – tell shoppers what it is, how it's made, and what it tastes, smells, or feels like. Short paragraphs or bullet points read best.
Inventory Tracking – switch on to keep count of stock (more below).
Product Options – switch on when the product comes in choices like size, scent, flavor, or weight (more below).
SKU – your own item code, if you use one.
Saving
Save & Publish – the product goes live in your store.
Save as Draft – saves it without showing it to shoppers.
Cancel – leaves without saving.
Product Options (choices like flavor or size)
Use Product Options when one product comes in several choices. For example, a cobbler in Apple, Peach, Blueberry, or Cherry.
Open Advanced Details at the bottom of the form (click it to open).
Turn on the Product Options switch. The main Price field goes away and you see "Options are enabled, see Options for individual prices."
Pick an Option Type from the list: Color, Flavor, Packaging, Processing, Scent, Size, Variety, or Weight.
Click Add Option. Fill in the Option Value (for example "Peach") and the Option Price.
Click Add Option again for each choice. The trash icon removes one.
The Option Price is the full price for that choice, not an extra charge on top. Example: Apple cobbler $10, Peach $12, Berry $14. A shopper who picks Peach pays $12.
One Option Type per product. You can't add a second group (for example Flavor and also Nut). To offer both, either combine them in the values ("Apple + Walnut", "Peach + Pecan") or ask shoppers to write the second choice in the note at checkout (Add a Note).
Shoppers see each choice with its own price on the product page and pick one before Add to Cart. The choice shows on the order, for example "Flavor: Peach".
Older help articles and some vendors call these "variants." In Homegrown they are called Product Options.

Managing your products
Click any product on the Products page to open it. From there:
Edit – click the orange pencil button to change anything on the product. The edit form is the same as the add form; save with Save and Publish or Save as Draft.
Change the order – drag the grip icon beside a product up or down. That's the order shoppers see in your store, and new products start at the top until you move them.
More actions – click the three dots next to the pencil for Duplicate (copies it as a new draft), Publish or Unpublish, and Archive (removes it from your active listings).
Tracking inventory
If you turned on Inventory Tracking, stock counts go down automatically as orders come in. The Inventory page (SELL section) shows every tracked product and its quantity, and flags Low Stock. Shoppers see whether an item is in stock.
