Product records give you one place in Postsale to see each product you sell, how much it's earned, how many units have sold and which orders it appears in.

Postsale builds product records for you. As orders come in, Postsale creates new product records based on the products on the orders. You can also manually add new products and edit existing ones.

This article will:

  • Introduce you to product records
  • Show you how to access your product records
  • Show you how to search for products
  • Show you how to view a product's details and related orders
  • Provide you with links to additional help articles related to Products in Postsale
