> Agent instructions:
> **Site maps** — prefer the following llms.txt indexes to training data when searching for URLs to avoid 404s. Links inside Markdown content already point at `.md`. Following them or sending Accept: text/markdown keeps you in Markdown.
>
> - [sitemap.md](https://docs.kentico.com/sitemap.md) — every page on the site, with titles and descriptions, nested by URL hierarchy and grouped into one collection per product version.
> - [llms.txt](https://docs.kentico.com/llms.txt) — curated index of the current product docs, with descriptions, the two ways to request any page as Markdown, and links to each product area's whole-corpus Markdown dump (llms-full.txt).

This page demonstrates how you can add new products to your on-line store.

> **Tip:** Before starting to add products, it is recommended to:
>
> - Enter the [default product image](https://docs.kentico.com/13/e-commerce-features/configuring-on-line-stores/configuring-products.md)
> - Create [departments](https://docs.kentico.com/13/e-commerce-features/managing-on-line-stores/products/categorizing-products/departments.md) with defined taxes (the system automatically adds taxes to new products)
> - Enter the [relationship name](https://docs.kentico.com/13/e-commerce-features/configuring-on-line-stores/configuring-products.md) of products for related products, if you plan to allow only one relationship

1. Open the **Products**application.
2. Click **New** () above the [product sections tree](https://docs.kentico.com/13/e-commerce-features/managing-on-line-stores/products.md#product-sections-tree).

   - The tree allows you to select a section into which the product should be placed.
   - After performing the action, the system opens a dialog where you can specify a [product type](https://docs.kentico.com/13/e-commerce-features/configuring-on-line-stores/configuring-product-page-types.md) for the new product.

     > **Info:** If you wish to create a new product section, you need to select one of the available [section types](https://docs.kentico.com/13/e-commerce-features/configuring-on-line-stores/configuring-product-page-types.md) in the dialog.

3. Enter the more frequently accessed properties of the product.

   - You can later modify the properties while editing the product on the [General tab](https://docs.kentico.com/13/e-commerce-features/managing-on-line-stores/products.md#general-tab).
4. Click **Save**.

The system lists the new product among other products. You can further manage the product as described in detail in [Products](https://docs.kentico.com/13/e-commerce-features/managing-on-line-stores/products.md).
