What Constitutes a Retail item?

A retail item is a good, rather than a service, provided by your business. This can be clothing, water bottles, food, and other such products available for purchase at your location.

Step-by-Step

From your dashboard, click the menu icon in the top left corner next to the fitDEGREE logo
Within the menu options, select “Setup” and follow the side menu to select “Retail” under the "Payment Options" section
Once in the “Retail” Window, click the plus sign in the top left corner next to the "Retail" title to bring up the “Create Retail Item” tab
Once in the “Create Retail Item” tab, add the name of your item, the price of your item, the cost of your item, and a relevant tag for your item. Default tax for your retail items is set in the "Retail Tag". Retail Tags allow you to categorize your items and apply the appropriate tax toward those items depending on your state tax requirements. (example: some states tax clothing and some don't) You can Manage/Create retail tags by clicking on the "gear" icon next to the "plus" sign at the stop of your screen.
Following input of information into all fields within the “Create Retail Item” tab, click the green “Create” button in the bottom right corner of the tab. Once you have done this, your retail item is live within your business inventory

Things to Note:

When naming your product be sure to be specific rather than generic in order to prevent future confusion with similar products
The cost of the item is an optional field within this tab, it is simply for your business records to indicate how much the business spent per item
Creating relevant and specific tags for items is highly important. For example, using the tag accessories for boxing gloves would be proper usage of this function
