The Product Tab in Retail Express provides a centralised location to access and manage product details, including pricing, inventory, and associated attributes. This article explains how to navigate the Product Tab effectively, ensuring accurate product management and streamlined operations.
Once a product has been added to a sale, the Products tab displays the following information about each product:

 - the customer will return to pick up the product at a later date - Delivery
 - the product will be delivered to the customer - Warehouse Pickup
 - the product will be picked up directly from the warehouse - Special Order
