The Products page and review statuses
Where: Products in the sidebar
Reading the Products page
- The header shows Products and your total count, with a refresh button.
- The toolbar has List a product (create), Import (bulk upload — see Bulk import) and a search box (“Search products…”) that filters instantly across SKU, name, description and status.
- The table is paginated (25, 50 or 100 rows per page) and shows: a photo thumbnail, SKU, Name, Unit, Price and Status.
- The Price column shows “from [amount]” — the lowest of your price tiers — or “On request” if you priced nothing (buyers then have to ask for a quote).
- Click the arrow at the start of a row to expand it: you’ll see the full Description, the Listed date, and — if the product was rejected — the operator’s full Rejected reason in amber.
- Row actions: Submit for approval (only on Draft or Rejected rows), a pencil (Edit product) and a trash can (Archive product).
An empty catalog shows “No products yet” — “List a product to start selling, or import your inventory in one go.” — with a List a product button.
The review lifecycle — what each status means
Every listing carries one of four statuses, shown as a colour tag:
| Status tag | Colour | What it means | What you can do |
|---|---|---|---|
| Draft | Amber | You created it but haven’t sent it for review. Invisible to buyers. | Edit freely, then Submit for approval. |
| In review | Blue | It’s sitting in the operator’s moderation queue. Invisible to buyers. | Wait. (Shown as pending in some messages.) |
| Approved | Green | The operator approved it — it is live and buyable on the storefront, and your proposed prices were published. | Sell! Editing it sends it back to review (see Submitting for review). |
| Rejected | Red | The operator sent it back with a reason. Invisible to buyers. (The dashboard calls this Needs changes.) | Read the reason in the expanded row, fix the listing, resubmit. |
