Products in your Shop Local Store often are active (part of your current offering) and published (visible to public). But can fall into 2 additional categories:

• Unpublished Products
• Archived Products

The difference in these are how and when the products are displayed on your Store. You may view and update these products at any time.
 

Published Products

Published products are active products shown on your Shop Local Store and displayed to the public. Published products are shoppable.
 

How to publish a product:

1. Log in to your Shop Local Store.
2. Search for or browse to a product on your Store.
3. Please be sure you're on the product's Details page. The Details page will show "details.cfm" in the page's url.
4. Click Edit Product.
5. In the "Edit Product" modal, click Description, Keywords, Shipping & More.
6. In the "Description, Keywords, Shipping & More" tab, click Published. To confirm the product will be published, the "Published" button should be green, and you'll see a checkmark next to "Published."

Unpublished Products

Unpublished products are products that are active but may still be in a staging area. You may wish to mark an product unpublished if they still need to be edited before it's ready to be displayed to the public. This may be used when loading new intros or updating a product. Unpublished products are not yet shoppable and will only be public when you mark them as published.
