# Fix the "Add a product first" message

> AI Pages needs a real product to build from. Add one, or import one. This message didn't use a credit.

AI Pages builds from your real products, so a store with none has nothing to show. Add a product, or import one from a supplier link. "This didn't use a build."

## What you see

- Product page: "Your store has no products yet."
- Home page: "Your home page shows your products. Your online store has none yet."

## Fix it

1. Click **Add product** and add a product in Shopify.
2. For a home page, set the product to **Active** and add it to the Online Store.
3. Click the Generate button again.

On a product page you can click **Import from link** instead. It creates a draft product from an AliExpress or CJdropshipping link.

## What counts as a product?

- **Product page:** any product except gift cards and archived products. Drafts count.
- **Home page:** active products on your Online Store only.
- **Any page:** needs no products.
