Product Management for a Catalogue That Stays Correct

A catalogue is not a list of names and prices. It is the record that a customer reads, a cashier scans, an order reserves and an accountant costs. Get the record right once and four other screens stop needing corrections. This page is about that record in StoreB.

  • Variants with their own price, stock and barcode
  • Cost price stored per product, so margin is calculated
  • Draft or live per product, so nothing publishes half-finished
  • Bulk import, barcode scanning or manual entry

What a product record actually holds

The fields exist because a real shop needs them, and each one is used somewhere else in the system.

  • Name, short and full description, category and brand, plus photos and a gallery.
  • Selling price and MRP, with tax settings that follow your store configuration.
  • Variants — size, colour, pack — each with its own price, quantity and barcode.
  • Cost price, which feeds the economics view and the profit report instead of being kept in a separate sheet.
  • Publishing and channel flags: available online, at the counter, or both.

Adding products without retyping everything

Most catalogues already exist somewhere — a bill book, a supplier sheet, a marketplace export.

  • Add a product by scanning its barcode, so the code and the product are never out of step.
  • Import a list in bulk and review it before anything is created.
  • Duplicate an existing product to start from its structure rather than a blank form.
  • Print labels and barcodes from the product you just created.

Which products are earning, and which are just listed

Product management is not only data entry — it is deciding what to reorder, reprice or retire.

  • Product-level views show sales and stock for one item, so a slow mover is visible.
  • Margin is calculated from the stored cost and price; a missing cost is shown as incomplete, never counted as free.
  • Price history is retained, so a change can be explained later.
  • Products that cannot be sold — unpublished, inactive or out of stock — are shown with a reason rather than a broken page.

Useful when you

  • Sell the same product in several sizes, colours or packs and need stock per variant.
  • Have a catalogue in a spreadsheet and no reliable way to publish it.
  • Cannot tell which products make money because cost was never recorded.
  • Run a counter as well as a website and want one product list.

Questions

Questions people ask before starting

Yes. Each variant carries its own price, quantity and barcode, so a larger pack or a different size can be priced and stocked separately.
