    ...

    • Product name: The value input here appears on the product card and PDP. Only {alphanumeric}

      values are accepted.

    ...

    • Short and long description: The short description appears on the product card and directly below the product name on the PDP. The long description only appears on the PDP and is separated in this field by manually typing in the pipe character “|”.

The Email description box is the content that displays on order confirmation emails when a guest buys a specific product. If a guest purchases different products in a single order then each product’s email description box’s content is included in the order confirmation email. The email description does not display on the PDP and will never appear on order confirmation emails for add-on products.

    ...

    • SKU: Enter the POS product ID in the SKU field. When a guest completes an order this will map to the specified product ID in the POS and sell the guest that product.

    4. Complete Required Shipping fields

    Info

    NOTE: These fields are only used to set up a retail product.

    ...

    5. Complete Required Inventory fields

    • Enter the required product info in the Inventory fields. If the Inventory drop-down is not expanded, click Inventory to display the fields in this section.

    Info

    NOTE: These fields are optionally used to limit the quantity of a specific product that guests can add to their cart.

    • Inventory method: Leave as “Don’t track inventory”. If setting up a retail product see the Retail product configuration guide.

    • Minimum cart qty: Enter the minimum product quantity a guest must select to add this product to their cart. If a value greater than 1 is entered and the “Allowed quantities” setting below is not configured, then guests will not be able to add the product to their cart.

    • Maximum cart qty: Enter the maximum product quantity a guest may add of this product to their cart.

    • Allowed quantities:

      • If left blank, then guests will only be able to add one product to their cart at a time by clicking the “add to cart button” on the PDP.

      • If looking to add inventory limitations, enter comma-separated numeric values. This allows guests to add multiple products to their cart at a time, this also dictates the exact value range of product quantities a guest can add to their cart. For example, “1,2,3,5” would only allow the guest to add those exact values to their cart, meaning they could not add a total of 4 or 6 of the same product to their cart. This also only restricts cart values to the core product or each unique product combination. From the example above, a guest could add 5 Adult Passes to their cart and also add 5 Child Passes to their cart and complete checkout since those are interpreted as different products. This also does not prevent a guest from going through checkout multiple times to get around cart quantity restrictions.

    ...

    Warning

    • Warehouse: This field is not used, leave as “None”.
