ZenBasket allows you to add products to the product catalog. While adding a product, the details of the product and the stock information are needed. Product details include product name, description, price, image, brand, options, variations, shipping, taxation, etc. The stock details specify the quantity of the product available in various store branches. The branch location can be enabled or disabled by the admin which adjusts the product’s visibility based on the location at the storefront. Note: The number of products that can be added to your store depends on the plan you’ve chosen.
