# Creating an individual product

You can create an individual product using the Create Product page. The Product Setup wizard guides you through each step of the process. 

The type of product you create determines the available settings and their defaults. See [Product Setup](https://help.digitalriver.com/help/gc/Products/All-Products/Setting-up-the-product.htm?Highlight=Product%20Setup) for more information. To learn how to change your company's product setup, contact your Store Operations team.
