Sherpo’s product creation flow lets you define what you’re selling, set a name and prepare content, pricing, and much more, all from a single workspace. In this guide you will learn how to create a product after the initial setup of your Sherpo Organization. Then, you’ll land in the product dashboard, where each tab handles a different aspect: content, pricing, availability, and behavior.

​
Creating a Product

Once inside your Sherpo Dashboard, open Products in the sidebar to see an overview of all your existing products.

Go to Products → New Product.

Click New Product in the top-right corner.

Enter a title and optional subtitle.

Add a title (required) and subtitle (optional). Sherpo automatically generates a product slug (e.g., /p/{slug}) from your title.
3

Choose a product type.

Pick one of Sherpo’s available product types (e.g., Files, Course, Series etc.). Each type preconfigures features: for instance, Courses include lessons and course progression tracking (inside settings).

Best practices

  • Pick the right type upfront: Switching product type later requires reconfiguration.
  • Keep titles short and clear: They’ll appear in URLs, receipts, and customer dashboards.
  • Add a subtitle or short tagline: It improves discoverability and context on your storefront.
  • Use drafts: You can safely prepare a product before publishing it, by not setting a price or by setting pages as drafts (e.g., inside Courses).
  • Preview often: Click “Visit live product” to see changes instantly in your hosted site.

​
FAQ

No. Product types are locked after creation because each category has different internal features (e.g., Courses have lessons, Files don’t; Series has episodes instead of lessons, and trailers instead of cover).
