Setting Up Products in POS Channel

Preparing your products for sale is the essential foundation for the success of your POS stores. A comprehensive product catalog streamlines sales, generates accurate reports, and facilitates effective inventory management. 

This guide will walk you through the key steps involved in adding products to your POS channel and enabling them for specific stores, empowering you to maximize sales potential and propel your business forward.

 

 

Product Types for SHOPLINE POS

You can add two types of products categorized based on their attributes to your POS stores:

  • Single Variant Products: These have a single SKU and independent inventory, meaning each product is tracked individually.
  • Multi-Variant Products: These include multiple variations, like size or color. Each variant has its own SKU and independent inventory, allowing for separate tracking of each variation.

 

 

Adding Products to the POS Channel

To add products to your POS stores, you need to first upload them to the Products section of your SHOPLINE admin panel. Refer to the Adding Your First Product guide for single-item uploads or the Bulk Product Editor guide for bulk uploads. 

Once uploaded, follow the instructions below to enable them for the POS sales channel.
