How to Add a New Product to Register
If you’re starting with a new GrownBy account or wanting to add a new product specifically to Register, you can do that straight from the Register app.
Adding a New Product
You can add a product to Register two different ways, through the Register app, or on the GrownBy website platform. This will be instructions on how to add a product to Register through the Register app.
To see how to add a product to Register through the GrownBy platform, check out this link below:
On Register:
1. Select “Add Product” on the main screen.
2. Add in relevant details.
You will then be on a new screen that you can use to enter details about the product you would like to add. There are reporting categories for financial organization and register categories you can sort your product into to organize the register home screen.
3. Product Details
There will be a prompt for how you would like to organize your stock, either globally or by buying option. Depending on how you’d like your product to be sold, through your global stock or a set stock for the register accounts. You also have the option to make purchases decided by weight at checkout.
Global Stock vs. By Buying Option
Global Stock means your inventory is tracked using a single unit (such as bushel, dozen, bunch, pound, or each). Every purchase pulls from that one shared inventory count, and all buying options must use that same unit.
For example, if you set your global stock to 20 dozen apples, customers must purchase apples in dozens. If a customer orders 3 units, that means 3 dozen apples will be deducted from your stock. Similarly, if your global stock is 200 apples (each), you could create a buying option of 5 apples, and each purchase would subtract 5 from your total of 200.
Stock by Buying Option allows you to track inventory separately for each unit option. This is useful if you want to sell the same product in different quantities. For example, you could offer single apples and boxes of a dozen apples, with separate stock counts for each (such as 40 single apples available and 3 dozen-boxes available).
In short:
Global Stock: One inventory pool using a single unit.
By Buying Option: Separate inventory counts for each purchase option.
At the bottom you can mark if the product is EBT Eligible or Tax Exempt. When you are done adding in all of your information, press the green “Save” button in the top right corner. It will then appear on your main register screen.
4. New Product available on Register!
After pressing “Save”, you should find the product now listed on your Register homepage.
