Method #2. Add Products Using the ‘Add Product Form’
You can add products to your MultiChannelWorks database by typing the details and submitting them manually using the add product form. This method is useful if you only have a very small product catalog and you’re not using sales channels OR if you want to simply add additional products manually rather than importing them from connected sales channels.
Goto ‘Products’ > ‘Add Product’ to complete and submit products using the form method.
