Your Products in ProductDyno

Introducing PRODUCTS

The Products Dashboard is sort of like your "catalog" of what you have to sell and give away - only you will see this.

There are 2 ways to use the products in this "catalog"

1. Sell/Give Away as "standalone", individual item
2. Add to a funnel -
   maybe a "free" lead magnet followed by a "paid for" funnel;
   or a "basic module" of a course and one or more "advanced" ones.

If you plan to use the first option - then you need to complete all the sections for the Product setup - including payment gateways, email integrations, customization, etc

If you plan on using the second option - then you need to complete only the the "Content" and the "Videos/File Hosting" (we'll come to this!).  This is because you will then "gather" these products into a Collection and complete the other sections in the Collection.

In this article: 

When you select PRODUCTS from the Main Menu you will see the list of products (if any) that you have already added to ProductDyno

The next window will be the Manage Product Dashboard

from where you proceed as for a new product.

Delete Product

When you delete a product, it will be removed from your dashboard and archived - just in case you made a mistake! Archived products are automatically deleted from the system after 60 days. Until an archived product is removed from the system, you cannot re-use any custom subdomain name you may have chosen. Should you wish to do that, just go to Archives and delete the product yourself

You will be asked to confirm the Delete request

If you click YES - the product will be Archived. 

NOTES: 

• Any resources you allocated to a product - payment gateway, DNS entry, etc - will still be "in use" until the product is removed from the Archives.  If you intend to reuse these articles, you need to delete the product from the Archives before you will be able to do so.
• If you have added the product to a collection - it will still appear in the contents of that collection until you delete it from the Archives.  If you don't want to remove it from the archives just yet, you will need to manually delete it from any collections you have added it to.

To see your archived products, click on Archive on the Products dashboard

All archived products will be shown with the option to restore or delete from the system

Clicking either Restore or Delete will result in an "Are You Sure" popup.  So you can confirm or change your mind
