Yes it's chmod.  Generally directories can get 755 and be fine.  If it needs more than that (if the web server isn't running as the same user) then 775 would work.

I'm pretty new at Linux still and I am confused about directory
permissions. I'm trying to upload products to our website here at work
(Linux Server Cent OS). It says a certain directory lacks write
permissions.

I wanted to see what the permissions were on it so I did a ls -l, but
that shows the contents of the directory (and it's huge, full of
images).

Then I want to give write access to that directory. Is it CHMOD that I
need to use here?

Any feedback appreciated. Gotta get these products uploaded and fast!
