As with all systems Shopify has a number of key concepts that are worth understanding before we dive into a text editor. Let’s begin by looking at how we organise our store.

Every online store needs products and Shopify is no different. Products are our base unit in Shopify and central to theme building.Within Shopify each product can also have a number of variants. By default every product you create has one variant, you can simply add more as you need.

Essentially, a product is anything you wish to sell. Every product in a store has a number of attributes - the most common four being title, description, price and an image. Other attributes a product might possess are weight, colour and size. All of these can be accessed, created and updated via the online admin.
