Products is the home base for information about each of the items you sell in your dispensary. Products allows you to add variants to products like shirt sizes, dosage sizes, flavors, and more so that you can keep your product catalog precise and organized. This article will explain how to add products and their variants and provide examples of variants in popular categories.
Note: Maui's Categories are currently added through Flowhub's backend, and not yet directly in-app. If you need a category added please email help@flowhub.com for further assistance.
For more information on adding products, watch the video below:
Adding Flower Items to Catalog:
Navigate to the pop-out window on the left side of the screen and select INVENTORY.
On the top of the screen, select PRODUCTS.
Select the NEW PRODUCT button.
Select a Category from the drop-down menu.
Your categories will populate the required fields when creating products and Inventory items.
These required fields are marked with an asterisk and can vary based on your market.
These fields can include testing information, terpenes, serving size, and more.
Enter a Name.
It is best to follow the same naming conventions across all your stores. This will help identify items in the cashier app and make transfers between stores seamless. For example, if your naming conventions are brand, name, and total mg of THC in the package, your item would look like the following: Sandy Shores OG Kush 3.5g.
Enter an optional External Display Name if you would like a different name than what's entered above in the Product Name to display on your online menus and ecommerce platforms.
Enter an optional Brand.

Enter an optional Type.
This acts as a subcategory in the category. This will allow you to set up specials based on type and filter reports to make it easier to search for items in your inventory.
Types can include joints, heavy eighths, and moon rocks.
Typically, variations can act as flower Types, so this can be left blank.
