Add the name of what your product is, try to keep this simple, there are sections to add the detailed descriptions.

Detailed Description

If your product needs a detailed description you will fill out the detailed description on the box below Product Name. What you put on this section will be displayed on the product page below the product image. It is not necessary to fill this out but it is helpful if your product needs a more detailed description.
