Step-by-Step: How to Add a New Product on BrandDrive
Step 1: Log in to Your BrandDrive Dashboard
To create and manage a product, you firstly need to log into your account and select your business to be able to access the dashboard.
Step 2: Navigate to the Product menu
On the 'Bookkeeping' tab, click on 'Product', and it will take you to a screen where you can manage your products, add new products, and see other details about your products and/or services.
To add a new product, click on the 'Create new product' button located at the top right of your screen.
Step 3: Add Product details
This is where you start adding all the neccesary details for your products and also specifying if you want to add it to your online shop
Add in the 'Product name', 'Product description', 'Product category' and others. It is necessary to select a vendor so you can keep track of where your stock is coming from (this is a good record keeping practice).
Adding the product category
Adding the product type
These are the following options for the product type: Single product, Grouped product, and Variable product. Single products are stanalone items with no variations, for example, a powerbank with a fixed price (no size or color options). Grouped products are a collection of related simple products that are listed together, but purchased separately. Variable products are products with different variations, each with its own SKU, price, stock level, etc. For example, a t-shirt available in multiple sizes (S, M, L) and colors (red, blue, black).
You can also specify the pricing details for the product
On BrandDrive, you can select either Single pricing or Multiple pricing. When you select Single pricing, it means there is one fixed price for the product, regardless of any options or variations. Multiple pricing means the product has different prices depending on the option or variation selected.
Step 4: Upload Product image
Adding an image to your product is very important because it helps your customer have a visual perspective of what they're trying to purchase from you. This can in turn increase trust for your business.
Step 5: Save the Product
Click on 'Save' to add the product to your catalog. When you do this, you're making the product available for future invoices, expenses, and inventory adjustments.
You can view the products you added and also make edits like updating price and changing product availability.
Adding a product in BrandDrive ensures that your inventory is up to date, pricing is consistent, and sales are properly documented. This simple process sets the foundation for smooth business operations, from sales to accounting.
Creating and managing your product list in BrandDrive empowers your business to sell smarter and faster. Whether you run a service-based company or manage physical goods, properly cataloged products improve billing, reporting, and stock control—helping you run a more organized and profitable business.
