Invision Community 4: SEO, prepare for v5 and dormant account notifications By Matt Monday at 02:04 PM
LDDG Posted October 5, 2021 Posted October 5, 2021 Is there an easier way for my wife to add products to her store (Commerce) without having to log in, go to AdminCP and log in once again. Then navigate the menus until she finally gets to the Products section. Wouldn't it be much easier, faster and slick to be able to add products via the + Create link on the page's menu?
Solution Marc Posted October 5, 2021 Solution Posted October 5, 2021 There is no quicker way to add them than going into the Admin CP. As with any other area of the software, setup items need to be created in the admin CP. The create menu is for your users, not for items you set up as a site.
LDDG Posted October 5, 2021 Author Posted October 5, 2021 I see but I also see how convenient it would be. Just like the ability to add forum topics or Pages articles via the +Create menu link, I can see the logical thing to do is to add products to the Commerce Database as well via this route. Oh well, I was just asking if there was a way to do it but I guess not.

Whereas, the ACP is for admin created items. Products can only be created by admins and not users so it makes sense logically to keep it in the ACP.
