Products

The catalogue — Admin → Products — with price, stock and category per row.

Creating a Product

1. Go to Admin → Products → Add New
2. Fill in the product details:
   • Title — Product name
   • Description — Full description (Classic editor or Falcon Builder)
   • Short Description — Shown in product card
   • Featured Image — Main product photo
   • Gallery — Additional photos
   • Price — Regular price
   • Sale Price — Discounted price (optional)
   • SKU — Stock keeping unit
   • Stock Status — In stock / Out of stock / Backorder
   • Stock Quantity — Number in stock (requires Manage Stock enabled)
3. Select Product Category and Product Tags
4. Set SEO meta fields (optional)
5. Click Publish

Product Categories

Product Categories are a dedicated, first-class taxonomy — separate from Post categories.

Admin → Products → Categories:

• Hierarchical (parent → child)
• Each category has: name, slug, description
• Supports multi-language
• AJAX inline creation from the product editor

Frontend URL: /product-category/{slug}

Product Tags

Flat taxonomy for product tagging.

Admin → Products → Tags

Frontend URL: /product-tag/{slug}

Variable Products

Variable products have options like size or color, each with their own price and stock.

Creating a Variable Product

1. Create a product as normal
2. Scroll to the Variations section
3. Add variation attributes (e.g., Size: S, M, L)
4. For each variation, set: price, sale price, SKU, stock status

Frontend: the shop grid and the product page show a price range built from the variations (৳1,500 – ৳2,500, or a single figure when every variation costs the same). Once a customer picks a variation, the exact price replaces the range.

A variable product is only as available as its variations: sell the last of every size and the product reads as out of stock, on the badge and in the In stock only filter alike.

Attributes

Product Data → Attributes. Each attribute has a name, a |-separated list of values, and three switches:

Switch	Effect
Visible on the product page	Lists the attribute in the Additional information table
Used for variations	Makes the values selectable, for variable products
Show in filters	Offers the attribute in the shop's filter sidebar

The three are independent — an attribute can filter the shop without appearing on the product page, or the reverse. Show in filters defaults to on, so a new attribute is filterable without extra work.

TIP

For a variable product, the filter offers the values its variations actually provide, not everything the parent declares — so a colour nobody built a variation for is not offered to shoppers who cannot buy it.

Shipping Details

Product Data → Shipping holds weight and dimensions. Weight is used by weight-based shipping rates; a variation may carry its own weight and otherwise inherits the product's.

Linked Products

Product Data → Linked Products picks what to suggest alongside this one:

Link	Where it shows
Upsells	On this product's page, as You may also like — the better or larger version
Cross-sells	In the cart, once this product is in it — the case, the cable, the spare

Related products need no setup: they are drawn from the product's own category, topped up with recent products when the category is thin.

Inventory Management

Stock Status	Description
instock	Product available for purchase
outofstock	Cannot be added to cart
backorder	Can be ordered but will ship when available

Enable Manage Stock to track exact quantities. Stock is claimed when the order is placed, in a single conditional update — two shoppers racing for the last item cannot both win it.

Backorders (Product Data → Inventory) decide what happens at zero:

Setting	Behaviour
no	Cannot be bought once the shelf is empty
notify	Can be bought, and the cart says Available on backorder
yes	Can be bought silently; stock is allowed to go negative

Shop → Settings → Products → Out of stock threshold sets the floor. At or below it a product reads as sold out — useful for holding back a safety margin.

Product Custom Fields

Add custom fields to products using the ACPT system:

1. Go to Admin → ACPT
2. Find or create the product post type
3. Add a Field Group with your fields
4. Fields appear in the product editor

Read in templates:

$material = get_custom_field($post, 'material');
$warranty  = get_custom_field($post, 'warranty_years');

Product Reviews

Customers can leave star ratings and text reviews on product pages.

Moderate reviews: Admin → Shop → Reviews

• Approve or reject reviews before they show publicly
• Bulk approve/reject

Querying Products in Code

// Get all published products
$products = get_falcon_posts([
    'type'  => 'product',
    'limit' => 12,
]);

// Filter by product category
$phones = get_falcon_posts([
    'type'       => 'product',
    'product_category' => 'phones', // category slug
    'limit'      => 6,
    'orderby'    => 'date',
    'order'      => 'DESC',
]);

foreach ($products as $product) {
    echo $product->title;
    echo $product->shopData->price;
    echo $product->shopData->stock_status;
    echo get_falcon_permalink($product);
}
