# Creating products

To sell items using a DPG shop you need to create **products**. A product includes all the information your customer will see on the product page, such as the name, description and cost. 

A product can have multiple **product options** which allow you to offer customers variations of items. Options can be things like different sizes, colours or styles of the product and appear on the product page as a dropdown menu.

From the Dashboard go to **[Sales](https://admin.digitalphotogallery.com/account/sales#sales_products)** and the **Products** tab. Click the **Create** button to bring up the **New product** window. Fill in the applicable information for your product and click **Create**. 

Repeat the process for each product you want to add to your shop.
