Why this matters

You can now add and edit customers, products, and collections directly inside Joy. When a record is missing while you set up a program, a modal opens in place, so you finish the setup without switching to Shopify admin.

  • Create a missing product mid-setup

    Add a product with its title, description, price, inventory, and publishing channels from any product selection field. It is available to select as soon as you save.

  • Add and update customers from Joy

    Create a customer with name, email, phone, and tags from the Customers dashboard or a Customer Detail page. The record saves directly to Shopify, and you can update contact details, notes, and tags later without leaving Joy.

  • Manage collections while configuring rewards

    Create a collection or update an existing one when you configure a collection-based reward. The modals are built on Shopify's native interface, so fields and validation match Shopify admin.

Try this
The next time a product is missing while you set up a free gift program, click Add next to the search field and create it there.
