# New-product checklist

Ten steps that would have caught the new products that could not be bought.

1. Create the product with every variant and a SKU on each.
2. Set Type from the controlled list, the vendor, and the department tag.
3. Set the Shopify category.
4. Add images, each with alt text.
5. Set inventory at a location that ships to every market the product is sold in, or turn tracking off for made-to-order items.
6. Check the price in each market, dollars and euros.
7. Add it to its collections and open one to confirm it shows.
8. Write the search title and a description that ends on a full sentence.
9. Open the product as a shopper in each market, with `?country=US` and `?country=FR`. The button must read "Add to cart".
10. Do not add it to the old site. Note the launch in the changelog.
