Products Management

Pro Feature

The Products screen requires WCPOS Pro. Free users can view and add products to cart from the POS Product Panel, but cannot edit inventory or prices.

The Products screen is a dedicated inventory management interface. Unlike the POS Product Panel (which is for selling), this screen is designed for managing your product catalogue.

Manage Stock Toggle

The "Manage" toggle controls whether WooCommerce tracks inventory for this product:

• On - Stock levels are tracked and decremented on sales
• Off - Product is always available (infinite stock)

Inline Price Editing

Click on any price field to edit:

• Price - Current selling price
