on your web site. A product “packages”
data like ticket templates into a storefront

product catalog. To create various products (ad hoc, non-
printed, static, variable data, kit) that buyers
can purchase. The product creation process
entails creating a description and adding
images representing the product, associating
it with a template to define all available
options buyers can select, defining who can
change the product, and publishing it to a
category on the storefront.

printed, Kit, Static. For instructions on creating variable data (FusionPro or XMPie) products, see
