To add a product:
Select Suppliers from the main menu.

Click the Add + button in the top right corner.
The Add Product form will appear.
Complete the fields as per the guidelines below:
Product Details
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.

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, when adding our chocolate unicorns, the brand, size, and price stayed the same. Using the Duplicate Product feature saved time by copying these details - we only needed to update the name, image, SKU, and barcode.
Here's how:
Select Suppliers from the main menu, go the Products tab, then choose the product you want to base the new, similar version on.
The product page will open, displaying all the details like brand, price, barcode, etc.
Clicking on the three dots in the top right will open a menu. Choose Duplicate Product.
The Add Product form will open with the details from the product you copied. Just update what's needed, like the name, image, SKU, and barcode.
Remember:
The name should be unique.
The SKU must be unique.
The barcode must be unique.
Click 
to create your new product.
