Adding products, categories and barcodes

Add products one at a time or import a price list; categories, barcodes, variants and the Bin.

Add one product

  1. Open Products and press Add Product.
  2. Enter the name, selling price and cost price. The cost price is what makes the profit reports work.
  3. Pick a category from the list, or choose + New category… once — after that it is in the list for everyone.
  4. Scan the product's barcode into the Barcode box, or leave it empty and print your own label later.
  5. Tick Track stock and enter the quantity you have now.
  6. Press Save.
Tip: Amateta warns you before saving if the barcode, SKU or name is already used by another product.

Import a whole price list

  1. In Products, press Import CSV and download the example file.
  2. Fill it in with Excel or Google Sheets: one product per row.
  3. Upload it. Categories that are spelled slightly differently ("drinks", "Drinks ") are joined into one.

Products sold by weight or volume

  • By weight (meat, fruit, nuts): set the selling method to *weight* and the price per kg. The till reads the scale or asks for the weight.
  • By volume (spirits by the tot, draught): set up the bottle size and the pour sizes, each with its own price.

Variants (sizes and colours)

Use Variants on a product to add sizes or colours. Each variant has its own barcode, price and stock.

Deleting a product

Delete moves a product to the Bin, where it can be restored. *Delete for good* removes it completely; a product that was ever sold is hidden instead, so old receipts still show its name.
