Written by Opuda Horsfall

In order for a product to be live, there must be an active SKU in the system. Each SKU points to the specific product or components required to fulfill the SKU orders.

NOTE:

To create a Product, you must have:

  • Name of Product

  • Vendor

  • SKU

  • Barcode

  • Photo/Images of the product


Step 1 - Initiate New Product

  • Navigate to the Inventory tab - Products page.

  • Click the "+ Add a product" button in the top right corner of the product listing.

Step 2 - Select Vendor

  • Locate the "Vendors" list on the right side of the page.

  • Select the appropriate vendor checkbox for the new product

Step 3 - Enter Basic Details of Product

  • Input the product "Name" in the designated field.

  • Enter the "Value" (cost) and "Weight (lb)" for the item.

Step 4 - Assign SKU and Barcode for Product

  • Enter the unique identifier in the "Sku" field.

  • Optionally (but recommended), enter a "Barcode"; if left blank, the system will generate one automatically.

    • Barcodes allow products to be accurately scanned during picking.

  • If applicable, select appropriate warehouse.

Step 5 - Upload Product Images

  • Navigate to the "Product Image" section.

  • Click the "+" button to upload a file from your device.

Step 6 - Save Product

  • Review all entered information for accuracy.

  • Scroll to the bottom of the page and click "Save Product"
