Since YouCan always offers flexibility, you can customize your product settings in bulk or individually. These settings are related to the page that customers are redirected to when clicking to purchase a product.
You have many options you can set up and sections you can either enable or disable. It all depends on your strategy and the nature of your business.
As a seller, you have ownership over your products. You can arrange how specific parts and buttons will appear when a customer clicks on a product to buy it. This way, you can update the settings depending on your customer’s feedback and find the template that suits them the best.
How to use the product settings page?
To configure your products, go to Theme and click on Product Settings.
You will then be redirected to a page where you can find four tabs to set up:
1. Sections: This page regroups all the elements that your customers will see next to the product’s picture and they are about to buy it. You have the option to change the order of each section by simply dragging them. You can enable or disable each section:
- Title: this refers to the title of the product you entered when you were creating the product.
Images: this refers to the images of the product.
Price: this refers to the price of the product.
Variants: this refers to the variants you added to the product.
Scarcity: it is an option that displays this message: Hurry! only 9 left in stock! It is used as a sales strategy to create a feeling of urgency in your customers and push them to buy the product as soon as possible.
Visitors: this option displays how many visitors are viewing the product at that instant. It helps to increase credibility and shows that your products are being viewed by other customers.
Countdown: this option helps you to create excitement over your product and the discount you are offering, it is a countdown displayed near the product that shows your customers the days left so they can benefit from what you are offering.

2. Stock, visitors & countdown: this page helps you customize three options that we previously mentioned; Visitors, Stock (which refers to Scarcity), and Countdown. These three settings are fictional but they help you boost your sales by creating excitement over the product:
Custom visitors: you need to specify the minimum and the maximum number of visitors that can be displayed in this option. You need to set up the two sections since the number that appears near the product constantly changes so each time customers visit the product, they will see a different number.
Custom stock: you need to specify the minimum and the maximum number of this product in the stock that will be displayed in this option.
