Setup inventory for clothing store

Skeestees — Sat, 12 Mar 2022 13:12:24 GMT

I’ve used square for many years without tracking inventory. I’m now trying to setup my inventory but have lots of questions/issues.

1. I stock and custom order all of our products.

2. I offer embroidery, screen printing, vinyl and DTG

3. I decorate on customers items

4. I offer on site customizing with numbered logo selections.

5. I have my shop set up by 3 sections.
A. Michigan gear

B. School gear

C. Corporate gear.

6. I do large event/corporate orders

Any suggestions on how to get started tracking this inventory would be helpful.

I have tons of different items I use. For example I carry short sleeve tees from 10 +vendors, 20+ colors multiple sizes and many different styles of the short sleeve tee. It’s very overwhelming!!

HI, yes, it can be overwhelming with so many options and features. Break each option or feature down, think of each individually instead of a whole.

#1 track or not to track, depends on lead time, if short do not track, if longer, track but would need to manually change to add inventory

#2 would be service offerings

#3 would be service offering

#4 would be Option Set (similar to offering Color)

#5 would be individual Category

#6 would be a Custom Order Contact Us section or page

#7 would be individual listings, ex. each different style of SS tee

Regarding large number of vendors, do you currently use Square for Retail or Square for Retail Plus?
