How do I add custom fields to my inventory items?

Written by Shane Jordan

To add custom fields, go to Settings > Custom Fields and create fields for any extra data you want to track on your inventory items.

Step-by-Step

  1. Go to Settings (tap the gear icon in the top right)

  2. Tap Custom Fields

  3. Tap + Add Custom Field to create a new field

  4. Enter the field name (e.g., "Brand", "Size", "Condition", "Color")

  5. Choose the field type (text, number, dropdown, etc.)

  6. Save

The new field appears on all item add/edit screens going forward.

When to Use Custom Fields

Custom fields let you track data that Flippd doesn't include by default:

  • Brand -- Track item brands for sourcing insights

  • Size -- Record clothing or shoe sizes

  • Condition -- Note item condition (New, Like New, Good, Fair)

  • Color -- Track colors for easy identification

  • Weight -- Record item weight for shipping estimates

  • Lot number -- Group items from the same sourcing trip

Good to Know

  • Custom fields appear on item detail screens and can be included in exports

  • You can edit or remove custom fields anytime in Settings

  • Existing items won't have values for newly created fields until you edit them

  • Use custom fields to track anything specific to your reselling niche

  • Don't create a field for SKU, there is a dedicated screen for SKU settings

  • Custom Fields show up for all categories (we are considering allow custom fields by category if there is enough demand. let us know!)
