Products, SKUs, barcodes & imports

Set up drinks, snacks, merchandise or ingredients with prices, costs and units.

Before you begin

A checked list of SKUs, units, sale prices, costs, VAT categories and opening quantities.

Where to go

Products → Product packs → Product labels

Visible menus may vary with language, permissions, app version and shop configuration.

Follow these steps

  1. Create one item first with a unique SKU, name, unit, stock policy, price, cost and VAT category. Do not substitute zero for unknown cost.
  2. Use variants for sizes and packs for multi-unit sales. Set the actual pack quantity and barcode for each selling unit.
  3. For bulk import, use the product screen's file format. Preview errors, resolve duplicate SKUs and try a small batch before the full import.
  4. Reconcile counts, prices, VAT and stock after import. Add images separately, print product labels and test scans.

How to verify success

Scanning selects the right product and selling unit, including correct pack quantities and prices.

Limits & things to check

Play time, passes and library copies are not product SKUs. Confirm supported customer/entitlement migration paths; do not use product import as a substitute.
