The OrderMyGear system allows you to customize the product information you provide to your customers. This article will help explain what each section of product information means and how to best use it to serve your customers.
When adding a verified product to your store, most product information will be automatically filled in, but you have the ability to edit that information as needed. If you don't know how to add one of over 200,000 verified products to a store, then click here. If you are trying to create a new product from scratch, then please click here to learn more about the best ways to create a product.
Product Information: All relevant information related to the details of a product can be found within the Basic Information section.
Pro Tip: Fields with an asterisk (*) next to it are mandatory and must be entered in order to save the product.
- 1: Name: Where you input the name of the product.
- 2: Category: You can select a category for the product. These categories will serve to organize your products in the store. Choose a category from the dropdown menu or select "New" to create a new one. These cannot be deleted from your dropdown menu in the future.
- 3: Subcategory: You can select a subcategory for the product. These subcategories will serve to further organize your products in the store. Choose a subcategory from the dropdown menu or select "New" to create a new one. These cannot be deleted from your dropdown menu in the future.
- 4: Manufacturer: Select this field to adjust the brand of the product. Choose a Manufacturer/Brand from the dropdown menu or select "New" to create a new one. These cannot be deleted from your dropdown menu in the future.
- 5: Vendor: You can fill in a field where you source your product from.
- 6: Style: Here you can fill in the style number of the product. When working with verified products, we advise not changing this, as it can affect any advanced reporting you may want to receive from your Client Success Manager.
- 7: Mandatory: This field is unselected by default. Check this box if this product is required for the customer to purchase. Customers can still check out if they have not added the mandatory items to their cart, but they will be presented with a warning sign and link to get back to the mandatory items.
- 8: Description: A description of the product. With verified products, we'll provide the information we've received from the manufacturer, but feel free to customize it as you see fit.
- 9: Is Available?: This field is selected by default. Uncheck this box if this product is sold out and unavailable for purchase. This is helpful if you want to keep the item from appearing in the store, but don't want to delete it entirely (for reporting purposes, or if you expect that it will be available in the near future).
- 10: Multiple Quantities Tab: This feature allows customers to quickly place a bulk order. If this feature is disabled the customer will only see the "Single Item" ordering tab.
- 11: Minimum Quantity: This is the lowest number of units a consumer must purchase. This is helpful for products you want to sell in bulk. Leave this field blank for products that do not have a minimum quantity.
- 12: Maximum Quantity: This is the maximum quantity a single customer can purchase of this product. Leave this field blank if there is no limit.
Checkout Information: The following section contains the relevant fields that are applicable to a customer at checkout including product pricing.
- Payment Method: The payment method for each product will default to the store's payment method. You can make individual products payable by Purchase Order by choosing Custom.
- Retail Price: This field allows you to provide the MSRP of the product. If the Base Price is lower than the Retail Price, then the product's page will show a flag with a discount calculation. This is a great way to show that you are giving customers a discount on an item.
- Base Price: The price the customers will see in the store. As the name implies, this price will be the base amount of the item that any product price additions will be added to, if selected by the customer.
- COGS: This stands for Cost of Goods Sold. If you provide this information, then you can use our Margin Report in our Reports section to track your profit margin. You can input the COGS after the store closes to get a better estimation of your true cost of goods.
- Price Additions: This field can be used if you want to add fundraising or other price additions. Click here to get a detailed article on this.
- Tax Category: Use this field to select the tax category for the product. The options are Normal Taxable, Tax Exempt, Clothing (20010), and Youth Clothing (CA Only). Click here to learn more about this.
- Product Shipping Weight: If you are using our calculated shipping function, then each product needs a weight to determine how much shipping will cost the customers. Click here to learn more about calculated shipping.
