Overview

Your store wouldn’t be one without products, and Jazva offers a wide range of options for you to define and distinguish every item in your database. This document is best used after you have imported products from your channels and learned the basics of using Jazva.

Before you start growing your product database, we recommend familiarizing yourself with these articles to understand how products, variations and kits work in Jazva:

In Jazva, a base product is identified by a Product ID (PID). A product page will have 3 tabs: Details, Setup and Statistics.

If a base product has more than 1 variation, then each item variation will have its own Details page, named after its attribute and numbered with an Item ID (IID).

Product Dimensions and Box Packaging - please note, this is not the shipping box dimensions.

  • L * W * H – the length, weight and height dimensions of the item.
  • Weight – the weight of the item.
  • Ship-Ready* – sets the item to be shipped in its original packaging unless ordered with other items. When shipping orders with this item, we will split this item into it's own parcel. Not that you can set the maximum quantity required for splitting in Global settings > Shipping > Split ship-ready items. E.g. if the setting is set to 10 and an order comes in for quantity 20 of this item, we will not created 20 parcels, but if order quantity is 7 - we will create 7 separate parcels. 
  • Box - click Set if you would like to assign a default item box, so when an order is placed for this product, Jazva will automatically select this box option. Boxes can be found under Inventory > Supplies > Boxes.
  • Extra Boxes - if this item ships in multiple parcels, click on the "+" button and add additional boxes. Specify "Ship Ready" if that additional box should ship by itself. You can add as many additional boxes as needed. If they are marked ship ready, we will create multiple parcels during shipping of a single product.

*By default the L * W * H are the product dimensions. But if ship-ready is enabled, then Jazva will consider those dimensions as the box dimensions.

Categories

Categories can be assigned to products within the Categories section. Visit Managing Categories to start building your category tree.

Bullet Points

You can add bullet points to appear on your listings, and they will appear on different sections depending on the marketplace.

  3. Click Save to complete.

For a more in-depth guide on product and item-level bullet points, please visit Managing Bullet Points.

General bullet point best practices for Amazon:

  • There's a 5 bullet limit, so create five attributes in your inventory labeled Amazon Bullet Points 1 – 5.
  • Each bullet has a 500 character limit, but most people skim through the text. Make sure each point is keyword-rich, descriptive and readable.
  • Capitalize the first letter of each bullet point. No need to end each point with punctuation.
  • Begin your points with the most important and eye-catching features. Try to use some keywords not mentioned in the product title.
  • Focus on benefits instead of only describing the features.
