Try the upcoming Simplified Item Creation flow — feedback wanted!

[alexws]

Hi Square sellers!

My name is Alex, and I'm on the product team for Items. As you may have seen in the Spring Releases announcement in May, we've been working on a Simplified Item Creation Flow in Dashboard that makes it easier to get your items ready to sell in-store, online, and via third party channels. We've built an early access experience that you can test out to get a preview of the new item creation flow and leave us feedback before we start rolling this update out soon. We'd love to get your input!

Get Started

To get started, log into Square Dashboard and click on or paste this URL into your browser: https://app.squareup.com/dashboard/items/library/react/new/v2

How the early access experience works: 

• Clicking the URL will open up the early access experience. Any items you create with this early access experience will get saved to your Item Library.
• There are no limits on how many times you can try the early access experience, so please create as many items as you like! You'll just need to click the link each time, as there are no in-product entry points to this early access experience at this time.
• Some features are not ready yet, such as: Upgrading to paid features, Event and Donation type items, the ability to Auto Create items by scanning a barcode or searching by name, and Bundles. 

Please feel free to provide feedback directly within the early access experience, or leave a comment in this thread! We would love to hear from you and get your honest feedback on what works well and what you think needs attention. 

Thank you!

Alex

One extra feature I'd like to see (after all the missing variation fields have been added back in) is the ability to duplicate a variation and all its fields.

[Cobbles]

It's good that you now have to enter a variation name for a new item (rather than the hidden value of "Regular"), but it's a bit hidden away under Variations. How about putting it on the main page? Many items won't have more than one variation.

Weight is missing from the inputs.

Is this change just for adding new items or will the Edit Item screen be changing as well?

If the Edit Item screen remains unchanged, at least the information not on the new Create Item screen can be added from there (though this would be a backward step and less efficient).

[Cobbles]

It's not possible to set different images for variations?

@alexws Is anybody looking at these responses any more?

Do you have any idea when an updated form will be available to try out?
