Add product types

Single product

1. Applicable for products with no variation with them then select single

2. When selecting a Single product – You will need to enter the Default product price including/excluding tax and profit Margin % (you can set the default profit margin from Settings -> Business Settings; this will help to type % every time). Based on the profit margin it will auto-calculate the selling price excluding Tax. You can also enter the selling price manually and it will auto-adjust the profit margin for you.

Variable product

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

2. When selecting a Variable product – It will display different fields to add all variations and their related Purchase price and 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 and variation values.

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

4. Read more about adding variations on the variants tab.

Combo or bundle product

1. Combo products 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 a Computer set she gets all the products in it.

3. The stock of bundled products depends on the stock of individual products present in that bundle. For example: if you have 5 PC Monitors, 4 PC CPUs, 10 PC Keyboards, and 50 PC mice, the stock of the Computer set will be 4 PCs.

4. When the bundle product is sold, stock of all products inside them is automatically deducted.

5. Individual products present in bundle products can also be sold separately.

6. Bundle products cannot be purchased, only individual products present in it can be purchased.

7. Click on Save.

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

Adding products with multiple variations

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

Solution 1, Create combined variation:

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

Solution 2, Create multiple products:

Create multiple different products like Shirt-Red, Shirt-Green, and Shirt-Blue with size 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.

Select required variations

While adding variable products, you can select only the required variation values.

In your add/edit product screen, select the product type as ‘variation’ and select the variation name (eg. color).

A dropdown will be displayed, in which you can select the required variation values.

Important Note:

This option is available only in POS version 5 and above.
