# Create Product

> Customize your store's offerings by creating unique products, filling gaps in our extensive catalog and tailoring your inventory to meet customer demand.

## About

Admins and Employees have the capability to enrich the inventory by creating **Custom Products**. This feature is particularly useful when a desired product is not already available in our [Catalog](/platform/catalog/search). **Custom Product** creation allows for the addition of unique Items with specific details and images, ensuring that even the most niche products can be offered to your customers, reflecting the diversity and depth of your store's range.

## Create a Product

Upon clicking the **Create New Product** button from the [Search](/platform/catalog/search) drop-down, you'll be redirected to the Create Product page.

### Product Content

When creating a **Custom Product**, it's important to include specific details that will appear in both the Catalog and your Shopify store. These attributes not only help in identifying and organizing your inventory, but also play a critical role in how your products are presented and found by users and customers.

* **Title**: This is the primary name of the product, as seen by users in the [Catalog](/platform/catalog/search) and on Shopify.
* **Brand**: This identifies the manufacturer or designer of the product and will be listed as the vendor on Shopify.
* **SKU**: The unique Stock Keeping Unit assigned to the product and used for inventory tracking purposes. This attribute is searchable via the [Catalog](/platform/catalog/search).
* **Category**: Defines the [Product Category](/platform/store-settings/product-categories), which will also be used to calculate shipping rates on Shopify.
* **Gender**: Specifies the target demographic for the product, the available options are:
  * Men
  * Women
  * Unisex
