Creating New Inventory Items

Create a new inventory item by clicking on the + button in the toolbar.

Fill out or select the following fields:

• Title: Enter your product’s title in the Title field. This field is only visible in GarageSale and used to identify your item visually.
• SKU: The SKU (Stock Keeping Unit or Custom Label) holds your item’s unique identifier. It is used to link a listing or a variation item to a specific inventory item. You may use the SKU as the title of the inventory item. Another way is to use the SKU Generator.
• Price: The Price field contains your item’s default price.
• Cost: Enter your own acquisition cost in the Cost field. The value provided is then automatically copied over to the cost field of any linked listing and will also be used for profit calculation in the reports.
• Barcode: If your item has a barcode, enter it here.
• Quantity: The Quantity field documents the number of items currently in stock. GarageSale will automatically decrease this value when an item sells on eBay and warn you, if you are about to list more items than are available.
• Location: The Location field contains the location of the inventory item, e.g. where to find it in your warehouse.

Inventory Item Description

The Description field is where you can provide a detailed description of the inventory item that will not show in the actual listing, unless so desired. If you do wish for the inventory description to integrate into the actual listing’s description, simply enter the following string:
{{item.inventoryProductDescription}}

Whenever you revise the inventory description, all listings containing this string will automatically update. To see how it looks expanded, press the control and the option keys on your keyboard simultaneously in GarageSale’s Preview mode.

Adding Images

To add product images simply use the Finder or click on the Photo button in the toolbar. Drag and drop the desired images into the Images area. All images (incl. captions) that are added here will be automatically added to any linked listing and can be manually added to variation listings.

Linked Listings

The table below the description field displays all listings that are currently linked to the SKU of the selected inventory item. Double-clicking any of these listings will take you straight to the Listing section, highlighting the corresponding listing.
