The item library is the heart of a retail site. Everything else, layouts, inventory, reporting, hangs off it.

Open the library

In the Merchant Portal, click Items in the navigation menu on the left, then click Item Library.

Add an item

1. Go to Items > Item Library.
2. Add a new item.
3. Enter the name, price, category and any identifiers such as a barcode or SKU.
4. Assign modifier sets if the item needs options.
5. Save.

Edit an item

Go to Items > Item Library, open the item and change what you need.

Delete an item

Go to Items > Item Library, select the item and delete it. Prefer marking an item inactive over deleting it if it has sales history.

Active and inactive

Marking an item inactive takes it out of selling without destroying its history. This is the right move for seasonal stock and discontinued lines.

Move an item

From Items > Item Library you can move an item from one category, subcategory or group to another.

Bulk loading

For a new site, load the library with the catalog upload rather than by hand. The Genius Help Center publishes a Catalog Upload Guide with the template and its rules.
