Product fields reference

Every field on the product form: formats, limits and effects.

The full field list, with the validation that actually bites. Fields not listed here (brand, model, manufacturer, weight, dimensions, tags, warranty) are free text for display and reporting.

Identity#

Field	Rules
Product name	Required, at least 2 characters. Unique across your business, ignoring capitalisation. Order lines snapshot it, so a later rename does not rewrite history.
SKU	Optional — generated when blank. When typed: exactly 6 digits, unique across the business — including every variant's SKU.
Barcode	Optional — generated when blank (a valid EAN-13). When typed: exactly 13 digits, unique across the business. A wrong EAN-13 check digit only warns — internal numbering schemes are allowed.
Variants	Each variant has its own name (unique within the product), SKU and barcode — sharing the same business-wide uniqueness rules — and its own price and cost. When variants exist, the variant's price is what is charged.

Pricing#

Field	Rules
Pricing strategy	Fixed (the normal case), Open price (typed at the till), or By weight. Composites use dynamic / static instead — see Product types.
Price	A fixed-price product must have a price greater than zero. The refusal says it best: "price must be greater than 0 for a fixed-price product — use open_price, price_override or by_weight for a product priced at the till."
MSRP	Optional compare-at price, shown struck through.
Cost	Optional; feeds profit analytics only — never shown to customers.
Allow price override	Lets the till override this product's price on a line.
Order limits	Optional minimum and maximum quantity per order; minimum must not exceed maximum.
Taxable + tax settings	Tax rates set here are added at checkout on the discounted line amount, by the server.

Stock behaviour#

Field	Rules
Track inventory	On by default. Serialized products force it on; pre-order and customized products cannot have it.
Low stock threshold	In this product's own unit — 10 means ten pieces of one thing and ten grams of another. Blank means "use the store's setting"; zero means "never warn me about this one" — they are different, and once a value is saved the field can be set to 0 but not back to blank.
Batch tracking	Requires inventory tracking; not available on composites. Enables intake batches — see Batches & expiry.
Expiry tracking	Requires batch tracking.
Allow fractional	Sell in decimals (0.5 kg). Not available on serialized products.
Unit + unit value	What one of this product is (piece, kg, pack…). Stock sentences and thresholds are expressed in it.

Everything else#

Field	Rules
Status	Active / Draft / Archived — a shelf label you control, not a lock.
Images	One primary plus up to four more, from the image library.
Categories	Any number, from the category tree.
Description	Free text, shown on detail pages and the storefront.
