What this page is for
The Product settings page is where you switch product features on or off and manage the building blocks every product reuses — groups, categories, attributes, units, and warehouses. Setting these up first makes adding products faster and more consistent.
How to open it
Open Products, then from the grid toolbar choose Settings. The page is organised into tabs.
General — features and defaults
On the General tab you can turn on the features your business needs:
- Enable warehouses and Enable locations — track stock by site and shelf.
- Enable variations — products that come in sizes or colours.
- Enable units of measure — buy and sell in different pack sizes.
The same tab holds New product defaults, where you can pre-fill the type, unit, pricing, inventory, accounting, and purchase values used each time you create a product. Remember to Save.
Groups, categories and attributes
- Product groups — a primary grouping, each with a code and name.
- Categories — flexible tags for filtering, with their own options.
- Attributes — custom fields (text, number, choice, and more) that appear on products.
Each of these tabs is a grid where you add or edit entries directly.
Warehouses and units
When the matching feature is enabled, extra tabs appear for managing Warehouses (and their locations) and Units.
Extensions
The Extensions tab is where any add-ons for products from the Marketplace appear, so you can manage them alongside your other product settings.
