Important Note: You will then need to add a variant. Every product must have one variant (size) to be able to be seen. Select Variant to complete this step.
Manage Variants
Variants are another way of saying the different sizes that fall under each product type. For instance, if you have a product called "West Coast Lager", you may have different sizes of that beer such as 335ml cans, 650ml bottles, 20L kegs, and 50L kegs. These are variants. Only after you have entered the Product Details and hit SAVE will you be able to add variants to a product!
Once you have entered in the product details and hit SAVE, you will see a collection of tabs appear at the top of the page. Click on VARIANTS to add in the SKU and pricing. On the Variants page, you will see an option called +NEW SIZE, click there!
Here, you can add in:
-
A SKU
-
Container type
-

Product FAQ
-
Am I able to add products other than liquor?
Yes! You can list liquor, merchandise, soda, non-alcoholic beverages and shipping as products. Be sure to select the correct corresponding Product Tax from the drop-down so that the appropriate tax scheme will be applied.
-
Can I delete a product?
No, products cannot be deleted once added, as historical data is connected to each product. Products can be enabled or disabled so they are visible only if you want them to be and further to that, you can enable or disable products within warehouses (so a product is visible in one, but not within another from the order screen)
To enable a product, slide it to orange. To disable a product, slide it to grey.
