Add Products in POS

Creating products from your Maropost POS register is quick and easy. Whilst your register is online, tap on the menu and tap the 'Add Product' button.

Please Note: Maropost POS only supports creating standard products from the register interface. To create variation products or kits, you need to use the control panel interface. Continue reading for more details.

Now you can enter the details of your product, and assign the product into categories. If you have the eCommerce add-on installed you can even create products that will appear on your web store.

When you are finished making changes, tap the save button and you are done! The changes will be reflected in your Maropost control panel and your webstore (if you have the webstore add-on installed). Remember to synchronise your other registers for new products to be downloaded.

This is a great way to add a few individual products. To add a larger amount, please use one of the methods in this article.

Product Images

To assist staff users in locating products quickly on the register, we recommend adding images to your products. Images should be in .jpg, .gif or .png and should be less than 2MB in size when uploaded. Maropost will automatically resize the images you upload.

Please Note: Images are downloaded and adjust in the background, and for Maropost POS are processed overnight. Be sure to synchronise your registers the next day for the images to appear.

When a product does not have an image Maropost POS will assign a two letter code to the product tile to help you identify it.

Barcode Printer Set up

Tip: This feature will only work on the Dymo 450 printer with Mac and Windows only. Labels cannot be printed from an iPad and the option to select a label printer/print a label will not appear until a printer is installed.

If you haven't done so already, you'll need to install Dymo 450 Label Printer on your PC/Mac. You will also need 11352 size labels.

You'll now be able to print labels.

Add a Barcode to a Single Product

Barcodes are printed on product labels so that you can scan products into POS or when receiving purchase orders. Barcodes are generated from the UPC on your products. To add a UPC to your product:

Click on the Warehouse & Picking tab and populate the barcode / UPC field with a unique code. Maropost supports numbers, letters and special characters in the barcode field.

Add Barcodes to Products in Bulk

UPCs can be added to your products in bulk through the Maropost import wizard. To add UPCs in bulk:

Create a .CSV spreadsheet with two columns called SKU* and Barcode.
Populate the .CSV spreadsheet with all your SKUs and their related barcodes (Maropost supports numbers, letters and special characters in the barcode field).
Import your CSV using the Maropost Commerce product import wizard.
