Creating a product
The product page, which has been redesigned in PrestaShop 1.7, makes it easier to create a product thanks to enhanced tabs.
...
Each image can have a caption: use it to briefly describe the image (and the product). It is important for the SEO since it is considered as the alt attribute of the image, and therefore it helps search engines to better rank your product. If you have several languages, don't forget to translate it!

- No redirection (404). This will display a "404 error - Not found" page.
- Permanent redirection (301). This will permanently redirect the visitor to another product or category page. The current URL of your product page will no longer be indexed by search engines: it will be replaced by the URL of the product or category page of your choice. Choose which product page you would like to display instead. Remember, this is permanent, so make sure you don't need this URL anymore before activating the 301 redirection!
- Temporary redirection (302). This is a temporary redirection to another product or category page. Choose which product or category page you would like to display instead. Search engines will still index the product page URL, so you can reuse it later easily, should you reactivate the product, for example.
If you want to display a category page, you have to select what category you want to redirect to.
Options
The "Options" tab provides additional settings to manage product references, suppliers, product customization, visibility and files.
...
- Reference code. This is your own internal reference. It might be a number, or its reference from the storage location or its supplier, or anything that makes it unique.
- ISBN. ISBN is used internationally to identify books and their various editions. If your products are books or entitled to have an ISBN number, enter it here.
- UPC barcode. This standard for barcodes is mostly used in the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, Australia, New Zealand.
- EAN-13 or JAN barcode. These are the numbers of the product's barcode, which are used worldwide in order to identify it. You can use either an EAN-13 or a JAN number.
- An EAN-13 is the product's 13-digit international article number. Order it on GS1 as soon as your product is created to be able to sell it with Google Shopping, or on marketplaces. Read more on Wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/International_Article_Number_%28EAN%29.
- A JAN is specific to Japan, but is compatible with the international EAN. Read more on Wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Japanese_Article_Number.
