Products / Inventory
Products or Inventory (both of these terms are used throughout ConsignHQ, but mean the same thing) refer to the items that are you selling in your store.
Before you can sell a product and starting recording data, you need to add the product.
Add a product
Firstly, make sure you have already added the account (consignor) the product belongs to on the accounts screen, as each product needs to be related to an account (even non consignment items must have an account associated, you can set up your own account for inventory you own).
Once you've added the Account, go to the Products screen at https://app.consignhq.com/inventory or by clicking 'Products' on the main navigation.
Click the 'Add Product' button near the top right of the screen.
On the 'Select existing Account' dropdown select the account the product belongs to. For example, if it was dropped off by a consignor select them here.
Complete the fields and press 'Save'.
Or if you have multiple products to add, instead of clicking 'Save' click 'Save & Add More' and you can enter another product (the Select Account dropdown will default to the same account you just added an item for).
The SKU field is used to identify the product throughout ConsignHQ. If you have an existing SKU you want to use, you can enter any SKU you like (as long as it's unique) but the easiest option is to leave the field blank and we will auto generate a code for you after you click save.
If you change the Inventory Type to something other than 'Consignment' the fields you can see will change based on what is relevant to that type. For example you can only enter a Split % for Consignment inventory, and only enter the Cost Per for Buy Outright or Retail items.
The Split % is what portion of the sale (taking into account fees & taxes) the consignor will recieve when the product sells.
Unless you've already set up Categories and Brands those fields will be empty and you will not be able to choose one. Most fields are optional, required fields are marked with a *.
Select what Taxes & Surcharges to apply on the product by checking (or unchecking) the box next to the Tax name. By default (if you haven't changed your tax settings yet) the Sales Tax will be ticked on any new products you add.
You can use the Notes field to store data about the product that doesn't fit in other fields.
After pressing Save (or the X to close the window if you don't want to save your changes) you'll be returned to the Products screen. You should now see the new product you added in your products list (if you don't make sure all dropdown filters including the 'Status' are set to 'All').
You're now ready to make a sale and start recording data!
