&lt;p&gt;In order to be able to sell your media, you will need to create at least one product type. Stockbox supports an unlimited number of Product Types. You can use this function to create as many product types as you need and then using the Global Pricing feature you can assign a price to a product type (or multiple product types) for an entire category of images (or the entire gallery) or you can assign a price to the product type for each media individually (by editing the individual media) in the Media Manager section. The system also supports instant downloads. This type allows your customers to instantly download a media file as soon as the payment has been completed. &lt;strong&gt;Please note: &lt;/strong&gt;The Add to Cart button will not display until at least one product type has been assigned a price.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;With the Ent. version you can also offer subscription products, packages of products and product options (e.g. Photo Frames) in your gallery.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Product Name&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;br /&gt;The product name is used by the system&#039;s database, so it should not contain any special characters, spaces or numbers.&lt;br /&gt;e.g.&lt;strong&gt; !@#$%^&amp;amp;*()_+|}{&quot;:?&amp;gt;&amp;lt;1234567890-=][&#039;;,./&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Label&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;br /&gt;You can use this field to describe the Product Type. The product label is what the user will see in the gallery and it may contain special characters, spaces, numbers and even HTML code.&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Base Price&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;br /&gt;The system uses this value to pre-populate a base price in the Media Properties and Global Pricing sections. &lt;strong&gt;Note&lt;/strong&gt;: This base price will not apply to the media until you use the &lt;img src=&quot;images/admin/money.gif&quot; alt=&quot;globalupdate&quot; width=&quot;16&quot; height=&quot;16&quot; align=&quot;top&quot; /&gt; Global Update Product Price &amp;amp; Credit feature to update all media.&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Base Credit&lt;/strong&gt; (Ent. version) &lt;br /&gt;The system uses this value to pre-populate a base credit value in the Media Properties and Global Pricing sections. You need to enter a value in this field in order to be able to create the product type. If you don&#039;t want to enter an actual value then you can just enter 0 (zero). &lt;strong&gt;Note&lt;/strong&gt;: This base credit will not apply to the media until you use the &lt;img src=&quot;images/admin/money.gif&quot; alt=&quot;globalupdate&quot; width=&quot;16&quot; height=&quot;16&quot; align=&quot;top&quot; /&gt; Global Update Product Price &amp;amp; Credit feature to update all media. &lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Auto. Price&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When a product type is set to Auto. Price, system will automatically assign this product type with its base price and credit (Ent. version) to newly uploaded media. You should only use this option when the Product Type is available for all of your media. &lt;strong&gt;Note&lt;/strong&gt;: This only applies to new media, the existing media will not be affected.&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Disable Tax&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;br /&gt;If you don&#039;t need to tax customers for this Product Type, tick the checkbox. The system will not charge tax for items purchased with this product type.&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Shipping Cost &amp;amp; Additional Shipping Cost&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Enter the shipping cost and additional shipping cost for this product type. The additional cost would be applied on the second and subsequent items with the same product type. To use the Product Type Shipping Cost, you must select &quot;&lt;strong&gt;Use Product Type Shipping Method&lt;/strong&gt;&quot; in the Shipping Manager section of the admin control panel. Click here for other Shipping Methods.&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Click the &lt;strong&gt;Add&lt;/strong&gt; button to add the new Product Type to the database.&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Other Product Type Functions&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Product Type Status&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;The system only allows users to purchase a Product Type when its status is &quot;&lt;strong&gt;Active&lt;/strong&gt;&quot;. By default, newly created Product Types have an &quot;&lt;strong&gt;Active&lt;/strong&gt;&quot; status. To change the status, click on the &quot;&lt;strong&gt;Status Value&lt;/strong&gt;&quot; of the particular Product Type in the Status column.&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Product Type Price &amp;amp; Credit Update&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;img src=&quot;images/admin/money.gif&quot; alt=&quot;globalupdate&quot; width=&quot;16&quot; height=&quot;16&quot; align=&quot;top&quot; /&gt;&amp;nbsp;(Pro. &amp;amp; Ent. versions)&lt;br /&gt;This function is similar to the Global Pricing function, but instead, it only allows you to apply Global Pricing for the target Product Type only.&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Global Pricing Adjustment&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;img src=&quot;images/admin/add_money.gif&quot; alt=&quot;adjust price&quot; width=&quot;16&quot; height=&quot;16&quot; align=&quot;absMiddle&quot; /&gt;&amp;nbsp;(Pro. &amp;amp; Ent. versions)&lt;br /&gt;Use this function to adjust existing media with the target Product Type to different a price or credit without interfering with other media which is not assigned to the selected Product Type.&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Product Type Discount Configuration&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;img src=&quot;images/admin/discount.gif&quot; alt=&quot;discount&quot; width=&quot;16&quot; height=&quot;16&quot; align=&quot;absMiddle&quot; /&gt;&amp;nbsp;(Ent. version)&lt;br /&gt;Use this function to give discounts to customers that make bulk purchases.&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Printing&amp;nbsp;Code Configuration&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;img src=&quot;images/admin/print_config.gif&quot; alt=&quot;printing code&quot; width=&quot;16&quot; height=&quot;16&quot; align=&quot;top&quot; /&gt; (Ent. version)&lt;br /&gt;Use this function to assign the Print Fulfillment Product Codes that you have from the print provider to the Stockbox Product Type.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Instant Download&amp;nbsp;Configuration&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;img src=&quot;images/admin/dim_config.gif&quot; alt=&quot;instant download configuration&quot; width=&quot;16&quot; height=&quot;16&quot; align=&quot;top&quot; /&gt; (Ent. version)&lt;br /&gt;Use this function to configure the instant download dimensions and its PPI for the Product Type. This configuration will be used for hi-res images import function.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Edit Product Type&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;To edit an existing Product Type, click on the &lt;img src=&quot;images/admin/edit.gif&quot; alt=&quot;edit&quot; width=&quot;16&quot; height=&quot;16&quot; align=&quot;top&quot; /&gt; icon for the target Product Type.&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Delete Product Type&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;Click on the &lt;img src=&quot;images/admin/delete.gif&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; width=&quot;16&quot; height=&quot;16&quot; align=&quot;top&quot; /&gt;&amp;nbsp;icon for the particular Product Type to delete it. You will need to confirm the Delete Action by clicking on the&amp;nbsp;&lt;img src=&quot;images/admin/apply.gif&quot; alt=&quot;apply&quot; width=&quot;16&quot; height=&quot;16&quot; align=&quot;top&quot; /&gt;&amp;nbsp;icon on the confirmation page. Stockbox recommends that you should set the particular Product Type to be &quot;&lt;strong&gt;Hidden&lt;/strong&gt;&quot; (by clicking on the &quot;&lt;strong&gt;Active&lt;/strong&gt;&quot; link for that Product Type) instead of deleting it from the database. This will prevent missing data errors if customers have already purchased media with this Product Type.&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Product Type Position&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;To move a Product Type&#039;s position up or down in the display list, click on the &lt;img src=&quot;images/admin/up.gif&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; width=&quot;16&quot; height=&quot;16&quot; align=&quot;top&quot; /&gt; or &lt;img src=&quot;images/admin/down.gif&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; width=&quot;16&quot; height=&quot;16&quot; align=&quot;top&quot; /&gt; respectively. This is the order that the system will use to display the Product Types on the media detail page of the gallery.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
