  • Control which products appear on your online store
  • Customize product descriptions and images for customers
  • Set ordering requirements like lead time and minimum quantities

What is Storefront Product Management?

Your online store displays only the products you choose to make available to customers. In BakeOnyx, you manage which products appear on your storefront, how they're described, and what ordering rules apply to each one. This lets you keep your full product catalog separate from what customers can actually order online.

Access Your Storefront Products

  1. Log in to BakeOnyx and go to the Dashboard
  2. Select Online Store from the main menu
  3. Click Storefront Products

You'll see a list of all your products with options to customize each one for your online store.

Enable or Disable Products on Your Storefront

  1. Find the product you want to manage in the list
  2. Look for the Show on Storefront toggle switch
  3. Toggle it On to make the product visible to customers, or Off to hide it
  4. Changes save automatically
Tip: Disable seasonal items during off-season, or turn off products that are temporarily out of stock. You can re-enable them anytime without losing your storefront settings.

Customize Product Descriptions for Customers

Your storefront description is what customers see online—separate from your internal notes. This is your chance to highlight flavors, ingredients, or special features.

  1. Click the product name or Edit button to open the product details
  2. Find the Storefront Description field
  3. Write a customer-friendly description (e.g., "Chocolate croissants made fresh daily with Belgian dark chocolate and butter lamination")
  4. Click Save
Note: If you leave the Storefront Description blank, customers won't see any description for that product. Keep it concise—aim for 1–2 sentences.

Add Product Images

High-quality photos help customers decide what to order. You can upload multiple images per product, and customers will see them in a gallery on your online store.

  1. In the product details, scroll to the Product Images section
  2. Click Add Image or Upload
  3. Select a photo from your computer (JPG or PNG works best)
  4. Drag images to reorder them—the first image appears as the main thumbnail
  5. Click Save
Tip: Use well-lit, close-up photos of your finished products. Customers are more likely to order when they can see exactly what they're buying.

Set Ordering Requirements

Control how customers can order each product by setting lead time and minimum quantities.

Lead Time (Advance Order Required)

  1. In the product details, find the Lead Time Days field
  2. Enter the number of days customers must order in advance (e.g., 3 for cakes that need 3 days to prepare)
  3. Leave it blank or set to 0 if the product can be ordered same-day
  4. Click Save

Minimum Order Quantity

  1. Find the Minimum Order Quantity field
  2. Enter the smallest number customers can order at once (e.g., 1 for individual items, 12 for bulk orders)
  3. Click Save

Control Product Display Order

The order your products appear on your online store is controlled by the Storefront Sort Order field. Products with lower numbers appear first.

  1. In the product details, find the Storefront Sort Order field
  2. Enter a number (e.g., 1 for first, 2 for second, etc.)
  3. Click Save
Tip: Use sort order to feature your bestsellers or seasonal items at the top of your online store.

View Your Storefront

After you've enabled products and customized their details, visit your public online store to see how they look to customers. Your storefront displays only the products you've enabled, with the descriptions and images you've added.
