  • Product type: This determines the relationship between your files and the resulting products:
    • Create one WooCommerce product: Groups all selected files into a single WooCommerce product as multiple downloadable items.
    • Create one product per file: Generates a unique WooCommerce product for every individual file in the sidebar.
  • Product title: You can manually enter a name here to override the file's original title. Defaults to "Use file title" if "Create one product per file" option is selected.
  • Product SKU: Assign a unique Stock Keeping Unit. This is a required field for WooCommerce integration.
  • Product price: Enter the sale price. If left blank or set to "0", the item will be treated as a free product.
  • Product Category: Choose the specific WooCommerce category for the new product(s) from the dropdown list.
  • Main product image: This option appears automatically if the selected files are images. Enabling this will set the selected image file as the featured product image in WooCommerce.
    • Use other images as product gallery
