How to create a product

• 0:06Before we start, one thing to know:
• 0:08day to day you'll hardly ever need to create products by hand.
• 0:12Products and their images are created on their own as orders come in from the connected sales channels.
• 0:18This form is for the exceptions:
• 0:20a product that hasn't sold through any channel yet, or something that needs fixing.
• 0:26You open it from Stock, Products, with the plus button at the bottom right.
• 0:31As always, the store comes first:
• 0:33the product will be created in the catalog of the store you pick here.
• 0:39The form opens with the store already filled in.
• 0:42At the top go the general details:
• 0:44the name, which is what everyone sees, and an optional description that helps tell it apart from a similar one.
• 0:52The unit of measure defines how the product is counted:
• 0:55by unit, by kilo or by liter.
• 0:57It's what you'll then see in the stock and in every warehouse movement.
• 1:02Below is the "Is a pack" switch.
• 1:04The question mark next to it explains what that means without leaving the form.
• 1:09Since this product is a box built from two others, we mark it as a pack.
• 1:14Once we do, each variant gets a section to define what goes inside it.
• 1:19Every product needs at least one variant.
• 1:22The SKU is its internal code and has to be unique within the store:
• 1:26it's what identifies this variant and no other in the stock,
• 1:30in the movements and when picking orders.
• 1:34Barcodes are a different thing:
• 1:35they're the ones printed on the packaging and the ones the scanner reads.
• 1:40A single variant can have several, for example if the packaging changed and both are in the warehouse at the same time.
• 1:47The variant description is what tells it apart from its siblings — a size, a color, a package format.
• 1:53Each variant can also have its own unit of measure,
• 1:57and be deactivated without touching the rest of the product.
• 2:01And here's where the pack is put together:
• 2:04you pick a variant from the catalog and the quantity that goes in the box.
• 2:08We add one yerba and one mate.
• 2:10The search filters by SKU or by name,
• 2:13and packs are left out of the list so you can't build a pack inside another pack.
• 2:18With the SKU filled in and the pack complete, Save becomes enabled.
• 2:23Done: the product is created and you're taken back to the store's catalog.
• 2:28From its detail page you can see it with its variants and its stock,
• 2:32and the Edit button opens this same form to change whatever you need.
