Products should mirror the products that you intend to have BoxC pick, pack and ship for your
orders.
Each product in the BoxC system should be unique to a specific product e.g. Mens Red T Shirt Large. While the Product Name should describe the specific product, the Customs Description should describe the item; in this case, Mens T Shirt. See Description Best Practices for more information.
The SKU of a product must be unique for each Shop. If you sell the same product in multiple shops, the SKU can remain the same.
Please pay attention to the Prohibited and Dangerous Goods information included in this document and make sure to keep your product database up to date as only orders that have line items matching products will be imported.

Manual Entry
Products > Create a Product
