How do I add my first inventory item?

Updated September 5, 2026

To add your first item, tap the green Add button in the middle of the bottom bar, fill in the details, and tap Save. Your item appears in your inventory with "Unlisted" status.

Step-by-Step

1. Tap the green Add button in the middle of the bottom bar

2. Enter the item title (required) -- what you're selling

3. Enter the Cost of Good (strongly recommended -- profit and ROI need it) -- what you paid for it

4. Select a category (Clothing, Electronics, etc.)

5. Add photos by tapping the camera icon (up to 8 per item)

6. Tap Save

Your item is now tracked in your inventory and ready to be listed for sale!

Optional Fields to Fill In

For better reports and organization, consider also adding:

• Source -- Where you got it (Thrift Store, Estate Sale, Garage Sale, etc.)

• Storage Location -- Where you're keeping it (Shelf A, Closet 1, etc.)

• Estimated List Price -- What you plan to sell it for

• SKU -- A unique identifier for your tracking system

What's Next?

After adding your first item, you can:

1. List it for sale -- When you post it on a selling platform

2. Record a sale -- When someone buys it

3. Add more items -- Build your full inventory picture
