As a supplier, your product catalog is the foundation of your ChefOrdering presence. Adding products with detailed information, clear images, and accurate pricing helps buyers make informed decisions and increases order success rates.
📝 Tip: Create product categories before adding products to keep your catalog organized from the start.
Path: Dashboard → Products → Add Product
Click the "Add Product" button to open the product creation form.
Product Name
Clear, descriptive name (e.g., "Fresh Organic Tomatoes", "Whole Milk 1L")
SKU (Stock Keeping Unit)
Your internal product code for inventory tracking (e.g., "TOM-001", "MILK-WH-1L")
Description
Detailed description including origin, quality, packaging, etc.
💡 Tip: Write detailed descriptions. Buyers can't physically see the products, so good descriptions build trust and reduce questions.
Choose the category this product belongs to. Categories help buyers browse and filter products easily.
📁 Categories: If you haven't created categories yet, go to Dashboard → Categories to create them first. Examples: Fresh Vegetables, Dairy Products, Meat & Poultry, Bakery Items.
Base Price
Your standard price per unit. This is the default price all buyers see.
Unit of Measurement
Select the unit: kg, lbs, pcs (pieces), box, dozen, etc. Be clear about what buyers are ordering.
Minimum Order Quantity (Optional)
Set a minimum quantity buyers must order (e.g., minimum 5 kg).
⚠️ Important: Make sure the unit is clear. If you price per kg, buyers entering "5" means 5 kilograms, not 5 pieces.
Add a clear, high-quality image of your product. Good product photos significantly increase orders.
Track Inventory (Toggle)
Enable this if you want to track stock levels. When enabled, you can set current stock quantity and receive low stock alerts.
In Stock (Toggle)
Toggle this to show/hide product availability. When OFF, buyers can see the product but cannot order it.
💡 Tip: Use "In Stock" toggle to temporarily disable products without deleting them. Perfect for seasonal items or temporary shortages.
Review all information and click "Create Product" or "Save Product" button.
✓ Success! Your product is now live in your catalog. Buyers can immediately see and order it (if In Stock is enabled).
Go to Dashboard → Products, find the product, and click Edit. You can update any information including price, description, images, and availability.
Toggle "In Stock" to OFF to hide products from buyers without deleting them. Perfect for seasonal items or when you're temporarily out of stock.
Only delete products you'll never sell again. Consider disabling instead. Deleted products cannot be recovered.
Add Products in Batches
Create categories first, then add all products in each category together for efficiency.
Use Consistent SKU Format
Develop a SKU naming system (e.g., CATEGORY-PRODUCT-SIZE) for easy inventory management.
Update Regularly
Keep prices, availability, and descriptions current. Outdated information leads to order issues.
Leverage Custom Pricing
After adding products, set custom prices for specific buyers to offer special deals and build loyalty.
