These are all the details about this product such as name, size, images, description etc.
**Brand**
The brand of this product. If there is no brand name you can put the Supplier's business name instead. Clicking on the field will up a list to select from or you can type your own.
For example, we're adding "Unicorn Chocolates - Dairy Free Pink Chocolate Unicorn", the brand is "Unicorn Chocolates".

The name of the product. Since brand and size go in other fields, you can leave them out of the name.
For example, for our unicorn chocolate, just enter "Dairy Free Pink Chocolate Unicorn" as the name.
**Size**
Enter the weight or size of one unit. Leave it blank if not needed.
For example, our unicorns weigh 25g each - enter “25” and choose “Grams” from the drop-down menu.

The SKU is a unique code for the product. Each product must have its own SKU.
{% hint style="success" %}
Supply'd can generate an SKU for you. Simply click **Generate** and a unique code will be created. It will consist of letters from the brand and product name, along with some numbers.

## Creating Products Using the Duplicate Products Function
Adding products in Supply’d Lite is quick and efficient using the **Duplicate Products** function. This feature lets you copy an existing product’s details, so you only need to make small changes instead of entering everything from scratch. It’s ideal for adding similar products with different sizes, flavours, or variations.
For example, we need to add a dairy free version of the blue chocolate unicorn product for our supplier Unicorn Chocolates. The brand, size, and price are the same as the Blue Chocolate Unicorn we have already added. Using the **Duplicate Product** feature will save time by copying all the details - we will only need to update the name, SKU, barcode, and description.
Here's how:
{% stepper %}
{% step %}
#### Select the Supplier
From the main menu, go to **Suppliers** and select the supplier whose product you want to duplicate.
***
{% endstep %}
{% step %}
#### Select the Product
Go to the **Products** tab to see the list of the supplier's products and select the product you would like to duplicate.
The product page will open, displaying all the details like brand, price, barcode, etc.
***
{% endstep %}
{% step %}
#### Select "Duplicate Product"
Click on the three dots in the top right and **Duplicate Product** from the menu.
The **Add Product** form will open with the details from the product you copied.
***
{% endstep %}
{% step %}
#### Change Details
Simply update what's needed, like the name, image, SKU, barcode and description.
{% hint style="warning" %}
Remember:
* The name should be unique.
* The SKU must be unique.
* The barcode must be unique.
{% endhint %}
In our example, we are adding a dairy-free version of the Blue Chocolate Unicorn. The product is the same size, looks the same, and the supplier details and buy price are the same. So in this case we simply changed:
* The product name from Blue Chocolate Unicorn to Dairy Free Blue Chocolate Unicorn
* SKU
* Barcode
* Added "dairy-free" to the description
* The ingredients
***
{% endstep %}
{% step %}
#### Click Save
Click to create your new product. The product will appear on the Supplier's Product list.
{% endstep %}
{% endstepper %}
