How to create Simple Products

A simple product is a physical item with a single SKU. Simple products have a variety of pricing and of input controls which makes it possible to sell variations of the product. Simple products can be used in association with grouped, bundle, and configurable products.

Navigating to the Product Creation Page

1. Log in to Tribees Marketplace Backend. On the Admin sidebar, go to Catalog > Products

2. The page will open a list of all the products available. To create a new one, choose the Simple Product option, near Add Product.

Creating the Product and adding details

3. Choose the Attribute set for the new simple product

• The attribute set is the template used to create the new product. Depending on the attribute set, different attributes will be required.

4. Enter the remaining Product information

• Enable Product: Maintain the option Yes

• Product Name: The name of the product

• SKU: Generally the SKU will be created from the name, however each vendor should have a unique identifier that includes either their Vendor ID or initials of their vendor name at the start - so that it does not match any other potential vendor (otherwise it will just be serialised) 

• Price: Enter the price of the single product

• Tax Class: Choose between Taxable Goods, None, or if you have your own custom Tax Class

• Change all the other necessary attributes available. Attributes may change depending on the attributes set.

Managing the Inventory

Inventory is managed via Sources. 

 

You can select from all available sources (Vendors will only be able to see/select their own sources)

 

 

Once a source is selected, click on Done from the top right. The source will appear in the product detail page and you can insert the quantity of products here.

 

To control the Advanced Inventory, you can select the Advanced Inventory tab, and make necessary additions to the stock management for this product.
