Adding Products
Overview
Products are items in which you can check the serial/imei numbers of your customers. You can add them in bulk using a CSV file in a specific format.
Tip: The platform currently only supports product names when creating products and does request you to add a sales channel if you would like. We recommend adding the sales channel as later the platform will be able to create promotions based on the sales channel as well.

Basic Product Creation
