Product pages
Products are the lynchpin of your store. Without products, you would have nothing to sell, so it’s immensely important you master how to add products and familiarise yourself with all the settings available to build your store and your brand correctly, right from the start.
Products can be linked to on your storefront by using images or via text.
Shopify have a great guide on how to add products here:
Shopify Help - Adding and Updating Products
Product descriptions, compare at pricing (sale price), variants and images are outlined here:
Shopify Help - Product Details
Note
For further information relating to specific image sizing, see here:
Here are two examples of how you can display your products on your storefront.

Once your product link is clicked on, regardless of visual format, your customers will either be taken through to that product’s dedicated page where further details are shown, or if the “add to cart” button is clicked, the product will be added to the cart.

This option always you to define how and where the description should laid out on the page. There are 3 options to choose from:
Above add to cart button

Toggling this allows you to hide a section of the Description below a cut-off point, useful for making long descriptions load faster and look less visually heavy on screen
When you enable full size images in the Secondary image display setting, you can enable this feature to ensure the product description remains sticky and visible while the customer scrolls down the images.
Toggle between active and inactive. When active, this feature triggers the dropdown selector to change to reflect the thumbnail clicked.
Select either “below product description” or “above product description”.
Allow customers to share your products right from the product page by toggling these icons:

This recommendation algorithm uses sales data and product descriptions to show a mix of products that are similar or often bought together.
Product recommendations become more accurate over time as new orders and product data become available.
More information on how the "related products" feature works:
Add your own heading text for the related products feed. By default, this reads “other fine products”.
Choose between Dropdowns to present the Variant options as just their Variant Names or 'Swatches' to represent them visually.
Toggle between active and inactive. When active, this feature triggers the dropdown selector to change to reflect the thumbnail clicked.
When enabled, any variant that has no available stock will be automatically hidden on page load, instead of appearing as an unavailable option for the customer.
Note
