Inline product creation

Craft Commerce allows you to create products ‘on the fly’. For instance when you are editing or adding a new entry, you can get an modal to appear which you insert the product details, rather than creating a product and then creating a new page and linking the two up manually. This saves time and makes for a great user experience for content editors.
