1. Enter the ***Product Name***
2. Enter the product ***Category***
  1. See [Creating product categories](https://support.bookingtimes.com/v2/docs/creating-product-categories) for more information on adding product categories
3. Under ***Product Type***, select **Physical Product**
4. Enter remaining product details, such as ***Retail Price***. You may also wish to enter:
  1. ***Cost/wholesale price****:* the price you purchased the product for
  2. ***Cart Postage*** type: free or fixed price
  3. ***Postage Cost*** (if applicable)
  4. ***Barcode*, *Manufacturer***
  5. ***Stock on hand***
    1. **Note**: If you add **Stock on Hand** amount, and it will automatically decrease as you sell it. If you then get extra stock, you can update your **Stock on Hand** amount again. If the amount is 0 (or left blank), it will NOT appear on your website to sell, so this prevents clients from purchasing anything that you don't have stock of.
    2. **Note:** Please refer to the article [Received shipment](/v2/docs/received-shipment) if you’d like to update your stock amounts through this functionality as you receive orders from your suppliers.
  6. ***Active***: select if the item is currently available for purchase
  7. Click **Save**
