Troubleshooting

It won't let me save the product

If you're trying to save the product but you get a popup message saying "Wait Up! Please provide all required information", there are one or more fields in the product that haven't been edited or are missing information. Go back to the product and go through all fields. If you find a field in all red, like the example below, this field is missing information and is therefore not letting you save. Add the relevant information and try saving again. If you've gone through the whole product and can't find the field that's missing information, reach out to us at friends@stanwith.me.
