Managing Products

What this is & why it matters

Your catalog is the foundation of everything else: you can only stock and sell products that exist here. A product carries its name and description, an optional SKU, a category, a purchase price, and an image. Get this right first — every inventory request and order points back to a product.

Step by step: create a product

  1. Go to Products (/admin/products) and click New Product.
  2. Enter the Name — the English name is required; add the Arabic name if you have it.
  3. (Optional) Enter the Description per language (up to 5000 characters each).
  4. (Optional) Enter a SKU — your own stock-keeping code (up to 100 characters).
  5. Pick a Category — this is required.
  6. (Optional) Enter the Purchase price (your cost; 0 or more).
  7. (Optional) Upload an Image (JPEG, PNG, JPG, or WEBP, up to 2 MB).
  8. Leave Active on (the default) so the product is usable, or turn it off to hide it.
  9. Save. The product is now in your catalog.

What happens next

The product is active by default and immediately available to stock via an inventory request and to sell via an order. Creating a product does not create stock — it only defines the item. You must still stock it (see Inventory Requests) before it can be ordered.

Tips & common mistakes

  • A product is not stock. Creating it does not put any quantity in a warehouse.
  • Your plan caps your catalog. The number of products you can manage is limited by your subscription plan (max_products); if you hit the limit you must upgrade or remove products. See Your Subscription.
  • Keep SKUs consistent so you can match items across inventory and orders.

Where to look

Screen: Products at /admin/products. Use the active/inactive toggle to control visibility without deleting.
