Adding a New Product to your Product Library
Creating New Product now opens in a modal
Clicking New Product on your Products index now opens a modal instead of navigating to a full page, matching the flow brands already use. It's the same form as before — the Product Catalog search and highlighting bar at the top is unchanged. This does not affect the separate "New Product" flow you use while receiving a manifest — that stays exactly as it was.
Attach images before you save
Previously, a brand-new product showed "Images can be uploaded after product is created," blocking image upload entirely until the first save. Now you can choose image files directly, or pick from your own image gallery, before the product is even saved — your selections are staged and attached automatically right after save.
The gallery picker is the same search-and-pick grid brands use for their own images: a thumbnail grid with search and "Load more" paging, pointed at your venue's own image library.
Add a new Brand or Strain inline
The Brand and Strain fields on the product form now have an orange + button beside them, matching the brand portal's visual pattern — instead of only being reachable through a "-- Create New --" option buried in the dropdown. Click it to reveal a text field for the new name; canceling returns you to the normal dropdown without losing anything else you've entered.
Creating a New Product
Product content is completely customizable and managed by the store as new products arrive. Create a new product if you are accepting something that you've never carried before! Products can be created before accepting a new manifest by clicking the New Product button from the Product Details tab located in the Inventory drop-down, or you can create the product on the fly while intaking a new manifest.
When creating a new product, you will fill out product details such as:
- Product Brand: Use the orange + button beside the field to add a new brand inline without leaving the form.
- Product Type
- Name
- Display Name: This is what the product name will be displayed as on your POSaBIT Online Menu, and allows the name shown to your customers to be different than your internal name for an item.
- Internal ID: This field is an available field that POSaBIT provides you if you wish to use your own product ID. *POSaBIT will not do anything with this field*
- Status: Make the product active or archived
- Shared: If enabled, this will allow this product to be shared across all venues under the merchant account.
- Medical Only: If enabled, this will restrict this product to only medical customers.
- Tags: On the right side of the page, you can add product tags to this product.
- Supplier
- Available On: If Everywhere is selected, the product will appear on the POS and on the store's online menu. If POS Only is selected, the product will not be available or visible from the online menu.
- Price with inclusive taxes: This option will allow you to set the price with inclusive taxes differently depending on customer type. This specific setting sets the price with inclusive taxes for recreational customers only.
- Discountable: If enabled, this product will be discountable.
- Weight Per Unit
- Weight Unit (grams/ounces)
- Default Terpenes
- Effects
- Flavors & Aromas
- Description: Freeform description field allowing you to add more detail to each product that is displayed on your POS and online menu.
- Instructions: This freeform text box allows you to add custom instructions for use to your products that can be displayed on labels.
- Ingredients: This shows on the label
- Product Image: Choose image files directly, or pick from your own image gallery — you no longer have to save the product first. Selections are staged and attached automatically right after save. Product images can also be managed at the product level, and you can assign default images, by type. If you do not have an image uploaded for any particular product, but you have default images attached to the product type, then the default image will appear on your POS and online menu when viewing product details!
