Products and catalog

A phone, a book and a strip of tabletseach get the product page they need.

Bazuva's product editor starts from what you sell. Phones get RAM, chipset and battery fields, books get author and publisher, medicine gets its generic name and a prescription check, and every product shows a live preview while you type.

  • Specification templates
  • Variants with a bulk grid
  • Packs, MRP and pre-orders
  • Shopify CSV import

A catalog built for how the Global South shops

  • 4

    ready specification templates: phones, books, medicine, furniture

  • 4

    product statuses, from draft to archived

  • 10

    ways to narrow the product list

  • 5

    kinds of page that list a product: category, collection, brand, vendor, tag

The difference

Adding products should not mean squeezing everything into one description box.

Without Bazuva

With Bazuva

  • A phone's RAM, battery and warranty are typed into the description, and nobody can filter by them.

    A phone template gives each specification its own field, grouped on the page and usable as a filter.

  • A carton of 24 and a single bottle are two products with two stock counts that never agree.

    A pack draws from the same stock as the single item, and the price per pack is shown at checkout.

  • Forty sizes and colours are edited one by one, and a typo goes live before anyone checks.

    Variants sit in one grid with bulk edit and fill down, and Active is refused until the checklist passes.

  • Moving from another platform means retyping the whole catalog by hand.

    Shopify's product CSV is imported as it is, previewed first, with pictures and stock brought along.

Specification templates

The fields your buyers compare, ready before you start.

Pick a template and the product gets the specifications its kind needs, in groups that read well on the product page. Measurements keep their units, and any specification you mark as filterable becomes a filter in that category of your shop.

  • Templates for phones, books, medicine and furniture
  • Attribute sets per category, with groups and units
  • Key features listed apart from the full table
  • Filterable specifications become shop filters

Selling rules

Packs, pre-orders and the printed MRP, without workarounds.

Each product says how it may be bought. Sell in cartons that draw from one stock, set a minimum, a maximum and a step, show the printed MRP beside your price, take orders before stock arrives with the date it ships, and state the warranty and return terms once for every product that shares them.

  • Minimum, maximum and step for every order line
  • Packs that draw from the same stock
  • Pre-orders with the date they ship
  • Warranty, returns, age checks and prescriptions

Categories, collections and filters

Organise once. The shop sorts itself.

Drag categories into a tree and give each one its own filters: price ranges, brands, sizes, colours or any specification. Smart collections follow rules, so a new product joins the Eid collection the moment it matches, without anyone adding it by hand.

  • A category tree you drag, rename and map to a standard taxonomy
  • Filters chosen per category, or taken from its parent
  • Manual collections in your order, smart ones by rule
  • Brands, vendors and tags with pages of their own

Moving your catalog in

Bring the products you already have, checked before they land.

Upload Shopify's product CSV or Bazuva's own sheet. Every row is checked and shown to you before anything is saved; you confirm, and products arrive as drafts with their variants, custom data and stock, while pictures are fetched in the background.

  • Shopify's product CSV read as it is
  • A preview of every row before you confirm
  • Stock brought in with the reason recorded
  • Export everything that matches your current filters

Questions about products

Can I bring my products from Shopify?

Yes. Upload Shopify's product CSV as it is. Bazuva shows every row before saving, then brings in variants, custom data, stock and pictures. The products arrive as drafts so you can check them first.

I sell phones. Do I have to type every specification into the description?

No. The phone template gives display, RAM, chipset, battery, network and warranty their own fields, and the ones you mark as filterable become filters in your phones category.

Can I sell a carton and a single piece of the same item?

Yes. A pack draws from the same stock as the single item, so selling a carton of 24 takes 24 from your count and the two never disagree.

Can a product go live on a set date?

Yes. Publish now or choose a date and time, and choose another date to take it down. A sale price can run on its own schedule too.

Can I add fields Bazuva does not have?

Yes. Custom data lets you add your own fields to products, categories, brands, collections, vendors and customers, with the type and checks you choose.
