Store Management Guide
Everything you need to know to manage, update and grow your Haddie Skincare store — written in plain English, no code required.
1. Adding & Editing Products
Every item you sell on your store starts here. Adding a product correctly ensures it displays properly across every page — the Shop page, collection pages, product recommendations, and more.
How to Add a New Product
- In your Shopify Admin, go to Products.
- Click Add product (top-right corner).
- Fill in the details:
- Title — The product name as you want it displayed (e.g. "COSRX Advanced Snail 96 Mucin Power Essence").
- Description — Write your product description. This text appears in the Description accordion on the product page.
- Media — Upload clear, high-quality product images. The first image is used as the main product photo across the store.
- Price — Set your selling price. If the item is on sale, tick "Compare at price" and enter the original price.
- Inventory — Set your stock quantity and SKU if applicable.
- Variants — If the product comes in different sizes or types, add variants here.
- Under Product organization (right sidebar):
- Product type — e.g. "Cleanser", "Serum", "Moisturiser".
- Vendor — The brand name (e.g. "COSRX", "Anua", "Dr. Althea").
- Collections — Add this product to relevant collections.
- Tags — Add tags like "best-seller", "new-arrival", or ingredient names.
- Set the Status to Active when you are ready for it to appear on the store.
- Click Save.
How to Edit an Existing Product
- Go to Products in your Shopify Admin.
- Click on the product you want to edit.
- Update any field — title, description, images, price, etc.
- Click Save. Changes go live immediately.
2. Product Page Accordions
Each product page features a clean, collapsible accordion layout with three sections:
- Description — Automatically pulls the product description you entered in the Admin.
- Ingredients List — Shows ingredient data unique to each product (via Metafields — see below).
- How to Use — Shows usage instructions unique to each product (via Metafields — see below).
The Description accordion is open by default when a customer visits the product page. The other two are collapsed and expand when clicked.
How to Edit Accordion Content
- Description: Edit this directly in the product editor under Products > [Product Name] > Description.
- Ingredients & How to Use: These are powered by Metafields. See the next section for full setup instructions.
3. How to Add Unique Ingredients & Instructions to Your Products
Your product pages have special dropdown tabs for Ingredients List and How to Use. You can easily add unique text for each product directly from the Shopify admin.
How to Add Your Product Info
- Go to your Products page in Shopify and click on any product.
- Scroll all the way down to the very bottom of the page.
- You will see a section called Metafields at the bottom, featuring your two special text boxes (Ingredients List & How to Use).
- Type or paste the specific ingredients and instructions for this exact product into the boxes. You can use bold text and bullet points.
- Click Save.
🎉 That's it! The website will automatically display your text beautifully in the product accordions. If you leave a box blank, that tab simply won't show up for that product.
4. Product Card Flip Card (Usage Instructions)
When a customer hovers over a product card on any collection or listing page, the card flips over to reveal a short description on the back. This is called the Flip Card.
How the Flip Card Works
- The front of the card shows the product image (as normal).
- The back of the card shows the content from the product's Usage Instructions metafield.
- If no Usage Instructions metafield is filled in, it will automatically fall back to showing a truncated version of the product description.
How to Edit the Flip Card Content
- Go to Products in your Shopify Admin.
- Click on the product you want to update.
- Scroll down to the Product metafields section at the bottom of the page.
- Find the Usage Instructions field.
- Type or paste the content you want to appear on the flip card back (keep it short and punchy — 1-3 sentences works best).
- Click Save.
Usage Instructions, the key to custom.usage_instructions, and the type to Single line text or Rich text.
5. Creating & Managing Collections
Collections group your products so customers can browse by category, concern, ingredient, or brand. They power the Shop page, collection list sections, and the Brand Grid.
How to Create a Collection
- Go to Products > Collections in the Admin.
- Click Create collection.
- Enter a Title (e.g. "Cleansers", "Vitamin C", "Anua").
- Add a Description (optional — appears on the collection page).
- Upload a Collection image — this is the photo shown on the Shop page and Brand Grid tiles.
- Under Collection type, choose:
- Manual — You hand-pick which products go in this collection.
- Automated — Products are added automatically based on rules you set (e.g. "Product tag is equal to vitamin-c").
- Click Save.
How to Add Products to a Collection
- Manual collections: Open the collection, scroll to Products, and search/select products to add.
- Automated collections: Products that match your conditions are added automatically. Example: "Product vendor is equal to COSRX" would automatically add all COSRX products.
6. The "Shop" Page
Your Shop page is the main browsing hub. It organises your entire store into three intuitive sections:
- Shop by Category — Cleansers, Toners & Essences, Serums & Ampoules, Moisturisers, Eye Care, SPF, Exfoliators, Masks, Lip Care, Bundles, Shop All.
- Shop by Concern — Acne & Blemishes, Hydration & Plumping, Brightening & Glow, Pore Minimising, Redness & Sensitivity, Pigmentation & Dark Spots, Glass Skin.

12. Frequently Asked Questions
How do I add a new product to my store?
Go to Products in your Shopify Admin, click Add product, fill in the details (title, description, images, price, inventory), assign it to the relevant collections, set the status to Active, and click Save. See Section 1 for the full walkthrough.
How do I add the Ingredients and How to Use content for a product?

If left empty, the card back will show a truncated version of the product description. See Section 4 for full details.
The flip card back is showing the product description instead of custom text. How do I fix it?
This happens when the Usage Instructions metafield is empty. Go to Products > [Product Name], scroll to Product metafields, and fill in the Usage Instructions field with your desired text. Once saved, the flip card will show your custom content instead.
How do I add a new brand to the Brands page?
First, create a Collection for the brand (under Products > Collections). Then go to the Theme Editor, navigate to Pages > brands, and click Add block > Brand inside the Brand Grid section. Select the brand's collection, upload a logo, and save. See Section 6 for details.

Shopify doesn't have a traditional "undo" button, but you can use Ctrl+Z (or Cmd+Z on Mac) while still in the editor before saving. If you've already saved, you can check Online Store > Themes > ••• > Edit code > Version history to revert changes.
