Setting up your products correctly can be crucial to the success of your store. A correct product setup can mean a speedier sales process, more accurate reporting and easy migration to Vend E commerce.

A product in Vend is made up of a number of different fields. When creating a product you must have a product name, tax name, price, handle and SKU code. Even though it's not required, it's highly recommended that you also include a supply price so that your average cost and cost of goods sold are correct going forward.

Another great thing to do when setting up your products is to add a friendly, customer-facing product description and product image. If you are using Vend E commerce (or plan to in the future) setting up your products with customer facing names, descriptions and images will save you a lot of time.
