This is a mandatory field and should be less than 50 characters. | | Sub Title | Use this as an additional title for your Product on your Website. | | POS Title | This is used on the WineDirect POS when you need a shorter name to recognize your Product. | | Shipping Strategy | This is normally set to "Use Default" but can be changed to a different Shipping Strategy. | | *Bottle Size | Put your bottle size in this field. This is a mandatory field. You will need to have bottle sizes added. Learn More > | | Photo | Upload a photo in JPG or PNG format from your computer that follows the recommended pixel width and height. | | *Product SKU | This will be the SKU of your Product. The Best practice is to keep it as SKU as possible. | | Product Brand | This should be the brand of your Product. You can add many brands to WineDirect. | | Unit Description | Tell us the description of your unit. This could be a "Balcony Seat" for an Event Ticket or a "Bottle" for a standard wine. | | Weight | Say the weight in lbs here. Just use a singular number such as "3", don't type in the "lbs" part. | | Retail Price | This should be the standard price that you are charging your customers. | | Sale Price | This is the sale price of your Product. If left blank, the Retail Price will be the authority. Once you put a dollar amount here, this will be the displayed price. | | Bottles In Case | If left blank, this field will not affect your Website. If you put a number in here, such as "12," you can automatically have a "Buy Case" button on your Website. | | Alcohol % | Say the percentage of alcohol in the Product. | | Region | Name the region that the grapes come from. You can create multiple regions. | | Appellation | Name the appellation that the wine comes from. You can create multiple appellations. | | Wine Type | Put the wine type here. Your wine type would be Red, White, etc. You can create multiple types. | | Varietal | Put your varietal here. You can add more varietals in WineDirect. | | Vintage | The Vintage of your Product. You can set whatever year your Vintage is. There is also an option for "Non-vintage." On your Website, the default term displayed will be 'Non-Vintage; you can use the Resource Bundle to change it to any other term, for example, 'NV.' | | Is Active? | Check this box so that your Product is sellable in the Admin Panel. | | Display on Website? | Check this box so that your Product can be bought from your Website. | | Bypass Compliance/Fulfillment | Suppose you use an integrated Compliance (WineDirect Compliance or ShipCompliant) and an integrated fulfillment provider with a direct integration (WineDirect Fulfillment or Copper Peak Logistics). In that case, you can mark SKUs you fulfill in-house so they are not sent to compliance and fulfillment with these settings. SKUs will be recorded in the order in WineDirect and will be sold, but the SKU information will not be passed into your compliance and fulfillment software. Once a product with a **Bypass Compliance/Fulfillment** setting has been purchased, it will always be excluded from web services on the order. You would have to remove the bypass setting on the Product, refund the order, and place a new order with the SKU in its non-bypassed state to send it to compliance and fulfillment. Using the **Bypass Compliance/Fulfillment** will not send the SKU to **both** your **compliance** **and** **fulfillment** provider, not one or the other. | | WD Fulfillment | Allows you to control how the Product will be sent over to WineDirect. (Only appears if your WineDirect account is integrated with WineDirect fulfillment). - **Send to Fulfillment Normally:** If selected, this will control how the SKU will be sent to WineDirect. This function will vary slightly between bundles and non-bundle SKUs. - **Wines, Products, etc. (non-bundles):** The SKU will be sent over as a normal SKU. - **Bundles:** The bundle SKU will not be sent to fulfillment, only the subSKUs that make up the bundle so that WineDirect knows which wines to pack for the order. This would be used for bundles that are **not prepackaged** at WineDirect. - **Send to Fulfillment/Compliance as Parent SKU:** If selected, the bundle SKU will only be passed to WineDirect fulfillment, not the individual products that comprise the bundle. This allows you to deplete the individual wine inventory in WineDirect still while selling **prepackaged GSETS*** at WineDirect. (Only appears on Product Bundle/Set product types). - **Send to Fulfillment as SPCL**: You can** send non-bundle products to WineDirect with an **SPCL** note in the Order Notes so that the order is held in WineDirect fulfillment and lets the fulfillment team know that there is action needed for this SKU, such as custom packaging. *GSETs are prepackaged bundles picked, packed, and stored at WineDirect fulfillment. ** WineDirect uses SPCL for orders needing special fulfillment attention, such as holiday orders, special packaging, etc. | ***Required Fields** --- ## [](https://documentation.vin65.com/Store/Products/Product-Properties/General)Bundle The Bundle section appears if you make a Product Bundle/Set in WineDirect.
