Adding a Simple Product
Updated yesterday

A simple product is a product with a fixed description and no multiple options (e.g., colors, sizes). Despite its simplicity, it can vary in terms of sales and tracking methods:

  • Sold by piece: e.g., books or paintings.

  • Sold by weight: e.g., fruits or vegetables.

  • Sold by package/carton: e.g., beverages.

  • Tracked by batch number: e.g., medicines.

  • Tracked by serial number: e.g., electronics.

Rewaa allows you to add such products with all the necessary details. Below are the steps for adding a single-type product.
