On hand:State how much/many of this product you have available and ready for sale. Use this field if you want to track your stock /inventory levels. As customers place orders, the stock level will reduce, and when the on hand amount reaches zero, the product will no longer be visible in your shop. If you don’t want to track inventory in this way, click on demand.
On demand:If you select this box, it will indicate that this product is always available. This stops the software from tracking inventory levels for products, and instead it will always show that the product is in stock.

Tax category: If you would like the price of this product to include GST, selectGSTfrom the drop-down menu. If you leave this field blank, or select none, the price will not include GST.

Some examples of how to list different types of products, and how these listing will present in your online store are provided in Figure 6, Figure 7 and Figure 8 below.
Note: For products usually sold by the kg, it’s best to list the product for sale in increments, of 100g or higher, depending on the product. This makes it easier to list and prepare the order.
Product variants
Note: If you are listing two products which are very similar, but only vary on price, or size, or flavour, it is best to create a ‘variant’ for that product, rather than creating multiple, separate products. For example, if you sell lemons for 60c each, or 5 for $2.50, you can create two variants for your ‘lemons’ product, one for each price/quantity combination. Or you might sell two flavours of lamb sausages, rosemary, or chili. Each flavour should be a ‘variant’ of the general product. Creating product variants is discussed in greater depth here.
Once you have completed a product, clickcreate, or if you’d like to add more, clickcreate and add another.
When you clickcreate, you will be taken to yourBulk Edit Productpage, where you will see a summary of all of your products.
