[Resolved] CRED form to allow users to add Woocommerce products

This thread is resolved. Here is a description of the problem and solution.

Problem: I would like to use Forms to create new Products on the front-end of the site.

Solution: Only the simplest products are supported in Forms. Many features like variable products, product attribute management, and so on are not supported.

Tell us what you are trying to do? Can I use CRED form to allow users to add Woocommerce products?

Hi, it depends on the complexity of the Products your Users can create. They can create very basic Products in a custom Form as described here: https://toolset.com/learn/create-an-ecomamerce-wordpress-site/how-to-create-a-front-end-form-for-adding-woocommerce-products/

However, WooCommerce Products have some options and features that aren't supported in Forms. For example, defining variable products, managing product attributes, complex inventory management and shipping options...none of those are well supported in Forms. Some WC Extensions add their own feature management in the Product editor screen as well, so those may or may not be compatible with Forms.
