Add a product to your catalogue, set its price, categories and taxes, and give it a picture.
Before you start: Set up your Categories and Taxes first if you want to attach them while you're creating the product — you can only pick from ones that already exist.
Where to find it: Back office → Stock (or Quick access → Stock in the sidebar)
A product in Stock is the master record: its name, price, description, taxes and pictures. It doesn't hold a quantity. How many of it you have at each shop is held separately go to Branch stock. Adding products one at a time is fine for a handful. For a whole catalogue, see the page for importing catalogues.
Everything happens in one dialog, headed Product info, with three steps shown across the top: Product info, Other attributes and Media.
Careful at step 13. Clicking Next on Other attributes actually creates the product. If you then click Back twice — from Media to Other attributes, and again from Other attributes to Product info — the product you just created is deleted and you start again. Clicking Cancel on step 1 does the same. Once you're on Media, the safe way out is Done.
You'll see "Success!" when the product is created, and again when you finish. The dialog closes and the new product appears in the Stock list with its picture, price and the SKU Wollette generated for it.
The product isn't sellable at a shop yet — add it to a branch with a quantity first.
