How to create a product

In this guide: Add a new product to your catalog so it can be stocked, searched, and sold.

Before you start

• Have the product name, selling price, cost, category, and tax information ready.
• Use a unique UPC/barcode or SKU whenever possible.
• Choose the correct product type: Itemized, Serialized, or Service.

Steps

1. Open Inventory, then select Products.
2. Select New Product.
3. Enter the product name and choose its category and department.
4. Enter the selling price, purchase cost, tax settings, and any description your team needs.
5. Add a UPC/barcode or SKU. Avoid reusing an identifier assigned to another product.
6. If you have multiple locations, review the location-specific price, cost, and availability.
7. Add a product image if desired, then select Save.

What happens next

The product appears in the Product List and can be found at the register by name, exact UPC/barcode, or exact SKU. Serialized products also require an available IMEI or serial record before they can be sold.

Tips

• Use Itemized for products tracked by quantity.
• Use Serialized for devices tracked one unit at a time by IMEI or serial number.
• Use Service for labor or other non-stock charges.
