Adding products
To be able to sell products, you first need to create the products.
There are several ways to create products in Flow Retail:
Adding the products manually
Importing the products from an Excel spreadsheet
Integrating an external system (for example an ERP or PIM system) which already has all the necessary product data with Flow Retail

Products must be added in the Flow Backoffice client.
