Overview
Boulevard offers the convenience of managing product pricing and inventory directly within the Boulevard dashboard. If a business currently uses Shopify or Quickbooks for products, a one-time product list import at the time of setup is possible by signing in to the respective account. However, because a product list import is included with data migration, this is generally not necessary.
Viewing Products and Inventory
To access the product and inventory list, click the location > Manage > Products.
Adding New Products
From main business settings: Gear Icon > Products > New Product.
Enter the Product Name then click Create Product.

Expiration dates cannot be tracked or added to products.
Editing Products
From the Products list click Edit Details next to the product to edit or delete.
If editing, make the necessary changes then click Save Changes.

NOTE: Product prices must be updated individually. For bulk updates, reach out to support at support@blvd.co.
Adjusting Product Quantities
From the Products list click Adjust Quantities.
Select the reason for the adjustment from the following options:
Received Stock - New product received from a purchase order
Usage - The product was used in-store for the back bar or sample
Inventory Re-count - Inventory is being recounted for accuracy
Damage - The product is unsaleable due to damage
Theft - Product is unsaleable due to theft
Loss - Product is unsaleable due to other loss
Return - The product was returned
Enter the quantities of the desired products and click the purple checkbox to confirm.
Click Save All when done.
A historical record of the change appears at the bottom of the product details window.
NOTE: When products are sold or inventory is decreased, Boulevard reflects the Unit Cost of the items using a first-in-first-out basis. This unit cost can be updated from the Default Unit Cost when creating a purchase order. When inventory is restocked such as after a refund, the product uses the Default Unit Cost.
