Upload and download products by spreadsheet and / or
Manually add or edit products in Management Interface
Once you’ve saved your changes, they are immediately visible in PocketShop.
Display multiple product images
Display up to 4 images per product. If you have product options enabled, one image can be used for each option that a product has. Update images in Management Interface.
Include product options

For example, a pair of shoes could have 5 size options and 4 colour options. Set up product options in Management Interface, and they are applied immediately when saved in PocketShop.
Include additional product attributes
Display additional product attributes. Typically, these attributes are information from your ERP that are specific and important to your business processes. Typically, these attributes are key data items about a product; for example, additional stock information or pack size.
Include product specifications

A typical product specification includes data that would appear on a product data sheet. Typically, it is displayed either as a tab or section on the product details page or screen.
Read our feature guide on product specifications for more information. This feature works in the same way for both WebShop and PocketShop.
Display selling units and pack sizes
Display product pack size and/or selling units if it is imported from your ERP. Importing and displaying selling units and pack sizes works in the same way as it does on WebShop.
Display PDF downloads
Add PDF documents containing additional information to the detailed product screen, which your customers can download onto their device as needed.
When you have products that share the same PDF documents, using the Shared Product Downloads feature allows you to reuse the same documents with different products. By default, there is a 1:1 relationship between product and document, which may lead you to importing the same document multiple times. When enabled, the Shared Document feature allows you to change the relationship to a Many:1 relationship between product and document, so that you can import the document once, and link it to multiple products using the product code as the product identifier.
