On the frontend, users are greeted with a straightforward process for adding new products, where you can easily integrate a product upload form on the frontend from any page.

🚀 Allow Users to Upload Products From Store Frontend

Enable users to add products directly from the frontend of your WooCommerce store using the [zili_wc_user_products_add_new] shortcode.

This feature simplifies the process of product submission, allowing users to contribute new items through a user-friendly form, enhancing community interaction and product variety on your site.

🚀 Customize Field Options for Product Submission

While the Title field is always visible, you have the ability to allow users to upload more product details in different fields:

• Description
• Short Description
• Image
• Regular Price
• Sale Price
• Product URL (for “External/Affiliate” product type only)
• Categories
• Tags

This feature allows administrators to set tailored messages that appear when a user successfully adds or updates a product, providing clear and personalized feedback.

🚀 Control Optional/Required Fields Selection

Specify which fields in the product submission form are optional and which are required, with the exception of the title field, which is always mandatory.

This feature grants administrators the flexibility to tailor the product submission process according to the store’s specific needs and products content guidelines.

🚀 Customizable General Options for Product Submission

Control general aspects of the product submission process, such as the number of decimal places in prices, visibility of the form to certain user roles, product type (simple or external/affiliate), and default product status (draft, pending review, etc.).

These options provide flexibility in managing how new products are added and also who can add them.

🚀 Custom Taxonomies for Detailed Product Categorization

Incorporate custom taxonomies for product submissions, allowing users to categorize their products more specifically.

This feature is essential for stores with diverse product ranges, enabling more precise classification and easier navigation for customers.
