Adding a New Product

Add a new product to your PAYD Pro PlusTM inventory through the Create a New Product screen. The screen is accessed from the Inventory menu.

NOTE: Products created using PAYD Administration are specific to that store. Products created using Multi Location Administration are available for all the stores in your enterprise (multi-store environment only).

NOTE: Products can also be created in the PAYD Pro Plus Mobile Solution. Refer to Creating Product Profiles for more information.

NOTE: You can add a new product by copying an existing product and then editing the product information as required. For detailed help, see Entering Additional Product Information.

NOTE: You can also add new products to your inventory through an inventory import (see Importing Inventory).

NOTE: Based on your PAYD account type, you may encounter a limit to the number of product profiles that can be added to the inventory database. Once the limit is reached, you will not be able to save additional product profiles unless previously created profiles are removed from the database to create space for new ones.  For more information on increasing this limit, please visit us at getpayd.com/paydproplus or call us at 1-855-423-PAYD (7293) to upgrade today.
