Product Details
Products within Supply'd can be used to buy, sell or produce. There is a large amount of information & functionality you can set to configure the products to be used for their various purposes.
When adding a product to Supply’d, the Product Details section contains the key information used to identify and manage the product. This includes details such as the product name, SKU, category, description, and product type.
Completing these details accurately helps ensure the product is correctly set up and easy to find, manage, and use throughout Supply’d.
This document explains how to complete the Product Details section of the Add Product form when adding a new product to Supply’d.
Completing the Product Details Section
Open the Add Product Form
Select Products from the main menu to open the Products page.
Click the Add + button in the top right to open the Add Product form.
👉 The Adding a Product document provides detailed instructions on how to open this form.
Complete the Product Details
The details about this product such as name, size, images, description etc.
Brand
Select or enter the brand of the product. For example, for Sungold Full Cream Milk 2L, the brand is Sungold. Select a brand from the suggested options, or type a new brand if it is not already listed. If the product has no brand, you can enter your business name instead.
Brand is a required field when selling on Supply'd. It helps identify who makes or supplies the product and ensures it appears correctly in the marketplace.
Name* [required field]
Enter the name of the product. Enter the product name without the brand or size, as these can be entered in separate fields.
For example, for Sungold Full Cream Milk 2L, enter Full Cream Milk as the product name.
Size
Enter the weight or size of a single unit of the product. Leave this field blank if you do not want to specify a size.
For example, for Sungold Full Cream Milk 2L, enter 2 as the size and select Litres from the drop-down menu. The size will be displayed to customers when purchasing the product.
If you do not need a Size (and Measure), and you want to keep stock as simple units, leave these fields blank. The system will recognise this and track inventory in units rather than by weight or another measurement type.
This is useful when the measurement is not important, or when the item is too small for weight to be practical.
For example:
Cello bags - Each bag weighs almost 0g, so tracking them by weight adds little value. It is much easier to count them as individual units for selling and production.
Sugar decorations for cupcakes or cookies - These are also very light, and during production you usually count how many decorations are needed rather than weigh them. For example, you may place a specific number on each cupcake or cookie.
SKU
Enter the SKU of the product. The SKU (Stock Keeping Unit) is a unique identifier used to identify and track the product. Each product must have a unique SKU, and the same SKU cannot be used for multiple products.
Supply’d can generate a unique SKU for you. Simply click 
at the top right of the field.
Category* [required]
Select the category on your supplier profile where you want the product to be grouped. Supply’d allows you to create your own categories, giving you flexibility to organise products in a way that suits your business. Click or type in the field to view available categories.
For example, for Sungold Full Cream Milk 2L, you might use Full Cream Milk if you mainly distribute milk, or Milk if you sell a wider range of products.
Departments
Select the appropriate department or departments that the product belongs to. Your available departments may differ from the example, depending on how your business has named and organised them.
Unit Barcode
Enter the barcode for one individual unit of the product. Use the barcode on an individual item inside the carton, rather than the carton barcode. This allows customers to scan the item and quickly find it in Supply’d for ordering or reordering.
Carton Barcode
Enter the barcode printed on the carton or outer packaging. This is useful when receiving purchase orders, as staff can scan the carton directly without opening it to scan an individual product.
Product Image
Upload an image of the product to Supply’d. A square image of at least 640 × 640 px with a transparent background, such as a PNG, is recommended. JPG images are also supported.
Description
Enter a detailed description of the product to help customers make informed purchasing decisions. Include relevant information such as ingredients, allergens, and other useful product details.
Tags
Select from a set of predefined tags that describe the product, such as Vegan, Vegetarian, Nut-Free, or Gluten-Free. Customers can use these tags to find products that match their preferences. Click the field to view the available tags.
👉 You can also add custom tags in the Product Settings section in your Product Settings.
Dimensions (cm)
Enter the width, height, and depth of the carton in centimetres when shipped.
Weight (kg)
Enter the weight of the carton in kilograms when shipped.
For example, if Sungold Full Cream Milk 2L comes in a crate of 9 and each bottle weighs 2 kg, enter 18. This information is used by third-party applications such as Shippit to provide live shipping quotes.
Complete Remaining Fields
Complete the remainder of the form as outlined in the Adding a Product document.
