Before the first sale, the register must know your products, and each store its stock. The recommended order: the products, one by one or from a file, then the count of each store's opening stock, then the register's quick keys. Each step points to the guide that details it.

Before you start ​

Adding products one by one ​

  1. Open Catalog > Products.

    The Catalog menu, the Products entry outlined, and the Products page with the New product button

  2. Click New product.

    The empty record of a new product: the General section and the Name field

  3. Fill in the record: name, item code, tax class and price, then click Save.

The product sells right away in each store where it has a price. The steps: Adding a product. A product in sizes or colors is created differently: Adding a product with variants.

Importing many products at once ​

  1. Open Catalog > CSV import and export.

    The Catalog menu, the CSV import and export entry outlined, and the page text about the trial run

  2. Choose your CSV file, read the trial run, then apply the import.

The trial run changes nothing: it shows what will be created, modified or refused. The guides: Preparing a CSV file in Excel and Importing products from a CSV file.

Counting the opening stock ​

A new product has no stock. The opening stock of each store is set by a full count: when it is closed, the stock of each counted item becomes the counted quantity.

  1. Open Stock > Inventory counts.

  2. Click Open a count (Start a first count the first time).

    The Inventory counts page, with the Open a count button outlined

  3. Have the store counted on the phone, then finish the entry and close the count.

The guides: Running a full count and Counting on a phone. For a few items only, an adjustment is enough: Adjusting stock.

A closed count can no longer be changed. A mistake is corrected by an adjustment, which is added to the item's history.

Checking the stock ​

  1. Open Stock > Inventory.

    The Stock menu, the Inventory entry outlined, and the Inventory page with its filters

  2. Choose the store in Store, then click Show.

The list gives the quantity on hand of each item in that store. The guide: Viewing stock levels and movements.

Preparing the quick keys ​

Quick keys are the tiles of the sale screen: one tap adds the item to the cart.

  1. Open Sell > Settings.

  2. Click Add a template, under Quick keys.

    The Quick keys section of Sell > Settings, with the Add a template button outlined

  3. Build the template, then assign it to your stores.

The guide: Setting up quick keys.
