On this page you can add a Product. Please fill in all the required information about the product and then click on Save button on the bottom of the page. 

Please create at least one category before you start creating the products. You can put all your products under one or separate categories. 

Please note that all the fields with * on top are mandatory fields. All other fields are non mandatory. Please uncheck the "Manage Stock" box if you want open inventory and if you are not managing the stock.

For an "open item" you may create multiple products by the name of "Miscellaneous-1", "Miscellaneous-2" ,"Miscellaneous-3" and map different tax to each product. This product price will be editable for all users even without edit rights. You can put any price on this product while selling and tax on that price will be automatically added to that item. You can even add multiple rows of "Miscellaneous-1" if you want to and put different price on each one of them. 

Please upload pictures of each product if you have, else POS will show default image for all products. 

Please note that product "Modifiers" are added from the Modifier Section and not from the product page. 




For all the products which are considered Raw Material or Packaging items and are not for sale, please check "Not for Selling" checkbox.

Please select Applicable tax from the tax dropdown for each product. 

Please mention if the Price displayed on POS would be Including Tax (MRP) or Excluding Tax. 

You can create three types of Products. Single product, Variable Product (with attributes like Small, Medium, Large) and Combo Products. 

Please note that you would have to create the Variations first, before creating a Variable product.




Product Type:

Single Product:

    1. Applicable for products with no variation with them then select single
    2. When selecting Single product – You will need to enter the Default product price including/excluding tax, Profit Margin % (you can set default profit margin from settings -> Business Settings; this will help to type % every time). Based on the profit margin it will auto calculate selling price excluding of Tax. You can also enter the selling price manually and it will auto adjust the profit margin for you.

Variable Product:





        Applicable to a product having variations (like size or color or design or flavors etc) You can define variation templates from Products -> Variations. The advantage of creating variation is that it saves time to add same variations multiple time.

          When selecting Variable product – It will display different fields to add all variations and its related Purchase price, Selling Price. You have to select the variations from the dropdown and it will auto-populate the variations for that template. You can change the variable name, Variation values.

             To give same purchase price or selling price or profit for all variations of a product click on the double tick present in the first variation.

            Combo or Bundle Product



            Adding a bundle product

            1. Combo product are also called bundle products.
            2. It is offering several products as one combined product.
              For example a product “Computer Set” can have: 1 PC Monitor + 1 PC CPU + 1 Pc Keyboard + 1 PC mouse
              So when someone buys Computer set she gets all the products in it.
            3. Stock of bundled product depends on stock of individual products present in that bundle.
              Example: if you have 5 PC Monitor, 4 PC CPU , 10 pc Keyboard, 50 PC mouse, the stock of Computer set will be 4 PC.
            4. When the bundle product is sold, stock of all products inside them is automatically deducted.
            5. Individual products present in bundle product can also be sold separately.
            6. Bundle products cannot be purchased, only individual products present in it can be purchased.

            Click on Save.

            You can edit a product. You can also Copy / Export to CSV, PDF or Excel file.

            Adding Products with multiple variations:

            If you have products which involve multiple variations like for example a Shirt can have Color & Size variation, then we have multiple ways to work with it:

            Solution 1, Create combined variation: Can a variation with a name “Color-Size” and add values like Red-Small, Red-Medium, Red-Large, etc, this can be used for while adding the Shirt.

            Solution 2, Create multiple Products: Create multiple different products like Shirt-Red, Shirt-Green, Shirt-Blue with size as variations. When you create multiple products you will NOT have to enter the same details multiple times, first, add the Shirt-Red with all size variations of it and then use the Duplicate Product action to copy the data.

            Assigning/remove locations of multiple products at once:

            Go to List Products and refer to this screenshot.

            Using Product barcode:

            Question: 

            How can we use the product’s barcode instead of creating and printing new for every product?
            How can we use the brand’s barcode of the product instead of creating and printing new for every product?

            Answer:

            When creating a product, in the SKU field enter the barcode number of the product. This barcode will be used to identify the product in all screens like POS, Sales, purchases, reports, and others.

            How to add a product that already has a Barcode?

            Adding products that already have a barcode, follow the same steps as adding any other products.

            1. Go to add products
            2. Fill in all the product details
            3. IMPORTANT: in the SKU field scan or enter the barcode of the product.

            Adding product quantity or adding product stock

            For systematically managing your business, product quantities can be added in 3 ways:

            1. Adding Opening stock
            2. Adding purchases
