Variants & Bundles
Variants can be added, edited, or deleted from the Variants & Bundles section.

Products or variants can be converted into Bundles here:
Bundles create a relationship between items where a set quantity is deducted from linked products or variants when a sale occurs

The Track Inventory toggle is located in the Inventory section.
Disable this for service or non-inventory products (e.g., haircuts)

A product is considered Active if at least one integration is enabled.
Active products sync to your POS and can be sold
