How do I add an item?
Learn how to add a new item to your inventory.
Introduction
When you get new products in your store, you’ll need to add them into XSite so they show up in your system and POS. This guide walks you through how to do that step by step. Be sure to have all key info ready—like cost, UPC, supplier, department, and price.
We recommend purchasing a scanner that can easily scan and input items directly into XSite.
Steps in XSiteIO
- Go to Price Book in the left-side menu.
- Click on Items, then select Items again from the submenu.
- Click the ‘+’ icon at the top to start a new item.
- A PLU/SKU number will be created automatically.
- Enter the item name (description) to the right of the PLU/SKU.
- Enter the selling price in the next field.
