Creating Custom Products & Services
Objective:
Simplify the process of requesting payments for grooming appointments, curbside pickups, and other services by creating custom products and services in NextPaw. Once added, these items are saved for easy access in future orders, streamlining your payment collection via text.
Adding Custom Products and Services
You can add custom products and services to the dashboard in three ways:
- Directly from the Products page
- Within an Order
- Through Bulk Import via CSV
Create on the Products Page
- Navigate to the Products page in your NextPaw dashboard.
- Click Add Product.
- Select the product type and enter the name, UPC, and price.
- Optionally, you can add:
- Inventory quantity
- MSRP
- Product images
- Descriptions
- Select the location(s) where this product or service will be available.
- Click Save.
Once saved, your custom product or service will be available in the Products and Orders sections of your dashboard.
Create in an Order
- Within an order, click the Product drop-down menu.
- Enter the name of the custom product or service.
