Add a retail product
Create a new product in your retail inventory.
Add a product
- Go to Beyond Classes → Retail Products

- Fill in the product details:
| Field | Description |
|---|---|
| Name | What clients see — keep it clear and descriptive |
| Description | Product details, materials, sizing info |
| Supplier | The vendor or supplier name. Click "Add new supplier" to add one. |
| Retail price | What clients pay |

Products in Draft status don't appear at checkout. Use Draft to build out a product before making it available.
Manage products
In Beyond Classes → Retail Products, hover over a product to reveal its actions. From there you can:
- Duplicate — copy an existing product as a starting point for a similar one
- Edit — update the product's details
- Delete — remove the product from your inventory
To favorite a product, check the third box. Favorited products appear while you check students in to a class, so you can quickly sell them as an add-on.
Retail taxes
To apply a tax rate to a product:
- Go to Settings → Taxes
- Create a tax rate (name and percentage)
- Under Actions → Apply to Product, select specific products or "Apply to all retail products"
See taxes and fees for more details.
