• Price ($): base product price

• Full description: the product description that will appear on the product details page of the storefront. The description can be either a plain text or a formatted HTML text.

If you hover over an image, you’ll be able to view the full-sized image, delete it, or edit its alt text. This text will be shown when the image is missing or cannot be displayed. It is a good practice to have an alternative text associated with the image, for SEO purposes.
