# Products

> Add and configure products in your storekit menu with names, descriptions, images, prices, modifiers, and tags. The building blocks of your ordering page.

Products are the items customers add to their cart. Each product belongs to a category and can have modifiers for customisation.

## Creating Products

1. Click into a category
2. Click **Add Product**
3. Choose **New product** or **Duplicate product**

### Duplicate vs New

**Duplicate product** copies values from an existing product:

* Name, description, price, image, video
* Compare at price
* Tags and allergens
* Optionally: modifier groups

This saves time when creating similar items like burger variants.
