Add items

This page opens when you tap Add items or Add your first item. It says "One at a time, or a whole list at once".

• One at a time or Add one by hand: adds one item. It says Free. It does not use Grow credits.
• Photos, Paste a list and A spreadsheet: add many items at once. Photos and Paste a list use Grow credits. The number on the right says how many. A spreadsheet says Usually free. See Add many items from photos and Add items from a list or spreadsheet.

If you already have items, these three are under Or read many at once (in capital letters).

The orange number at the top right is how many Grow credits you have. See Grow credits.

With no credits, an orange card says "No credits for reading. Adding items one by one is always free." It may also say the day your free credits come back. The owner also sees Top up credits.

Did you start a list on this phone and not finish it? Tap Continue your list at the top. See Add items from a list or spreadsheet.

At the bottom, it says "You check everything first". When you add many items, you see them all before they go in your shop.

To leave without adding, tap the X at the top left.

Some shops do not see this page. For them, Add items opens the new item sheet straight away.

Category

The line under the name shows the item's category, like "Cakes · tap the camera for photos". A category is a group of items. The item goes in your first category. If you tapped + Add on a category's card, it goes in that one. If you have no categories, it says "No category". Food shops see "No section".

To pick a different one, tap the camera tile. Under Category, tap the one you want. Food shops see Section. See Sort items into categories.

On your shop and Stock

A new item starts as Shown: "Customers can order". The Stock tile says "Not counted". You can change these later. See Mark an item sold out or hide it and Keep count of your stock.

The round buttons below add more, like sizes or extras. You do not need them for your first item.

Customers see

Under the round buttons, a small card shows how your item will look to customers. Before you add it, it says "Not on your shop yet".

Add to my shop

This green button at the bottom adds the item to your shop. It stays pale until the item has a name and a price. It also stays pale while a photo is still going in. While it works, it says "Adding…".
