Product Catalog: how this screen works
Merchant access
In a configured fulfilment account, your catalogue contains only the active channels assigned to your client. Saved views are private to your user. Warehouse staff book stock changes.
Merchant users can create and edit products in their client channels. Import, copy, delete, tag management and publication actions are reserved for authorised staff.
The Product Catalog is where you manage everything you sell through QrX: titles, prices, photos, stock and the countries you sell in. Approved products can be sold in the QrX Store: the QrX app (and soon the QrX online store), where shoppers find and buy your products. This guide walks you through every part of the screen.
What you see on this screen
Import Products (top right): add many products at once from a CSV or Excel file.
New Product (top right): add a single product.
Summary cards: Products loaded (the products shown in the list right now), Live products loaded (how many of those are live in the QrX Store), Need attention (products in Draft or waiting for review) and Loaded inventory (total available quantity, plus how many are out of stock).
The product list: one row per product with its photo, title, SKU, price, available quantity, stock, review status, live status and last change. Click a row to open the product. The list loads more products automatically as you scroll. A product linked to a kit shows a Kit pill next to its quantity: the number is how many kits its components can make. It has no quick Adjust in the list.
Good to know: when a fulfilment partner manages the stock of a channel, its products show Managed by with the partner name. The quantity is then the stock the partner holds for you, or No stock at partner yet when nothing is linked at the partner. Only the partner can change it.
Find a product
Search by SKU or title: start typing and the list updates. Use the X in the field to clear it.
Filter: opens extra filters. Channel shows the products of one merchant channel, Tags shows products with the tags you pick, and Include deleted also lists products you deleted (shown faded with a Deleted badge). Clear filters resets them. The number on the Filter button tells you how many filters are on.
Refresh (the round arrow): reloads the list and the counts.
Status tabs (All, Draft, Pending Review, Approved, Auto-Approved, Rejected): show only the products in that status. The number on each tab is how many products are in it.
Copy SKU: the small copy icon next to a SKU copies it to your clipboard.
What the statuses mean
Every product has a review status (the Moderation column) and a live status (the Live column).
Important: these statuses are only about the QrX Store, the QrX app (and soon the QrX online store) where shoppers can find and buy your products. They do not change anything in your own shop, for example your Shopify store or your own website.
Draft: new, copied, imported or recently changed. Not reviewed yet.
Pending Review: you sent it to QrX for review. QrX checks it before it goes live in the QrX Store.
Approved: QrX approved it and the product is live in the QrX Store.
Auto-Approved: works the same as Approved, the product is live in the QrX Store.
Rejected: QrX did not approve it. Change what is needed, save, and send it for review again.
LIVE or Not published: shows whether shoppers can see and buy the product in the QrX Store right now.
Good to know: when you change and save a product that is already live, it goes back to Draft. Shoppers in the QrX Store keep seeing the last approved version until your changes are approved. Changing only the stock (quantity or unlimited) does not send the product back to Draft.
Edit, copy or delete one product
Click the three dots at the end of a row:
Edit: opens the product.
Copy product: opens a new product filled in with the same details. The SKU gets "-copy" added and the title gets "(copy)". Change what you need and press Save. Nothing is created until you save.
Delete: asks you to confirm, then removes the product from your catalog. It stays visible under Filter, Include deleted. If you deleted something by mistake, contact QrX support to restore it.
Change many products at once
Tick the checkboxes in front of the products you want (you can tick products in Draft and products that are live). A bar appears above the list:
Print labels: print product labels for the selected products (with or without QrX warehouse stock; a fulfilment partner can also print labels for the products of the channels it manages). Choose the layout, how many labels per product and the printer, or open them as a PDF.
Set quantity: give all selected products the same available quantity. This also turns off Unlimited stock for them.
Unlimited: sell the selected products without a quantity limit.
Submit for Review: send the selected Draft products to QrX for review.
Unpublish: take the selected live products offline in the QrX Store. Shoppers can no longer buy them there. The product itself stays in your catalog, and your own shop is not affected.
Products whose stock is managed in QrX warehouse stock (products linked to a stock item) keep their quantity here: you change it in the warehouse. When a product you ticked is managed there, Set quantity and Unlimited are switched off and a note under the bar says why. When such products are part of a larger selection, QrX skips them and tells you how many, for example "3 product(s) skipped: their stock is managed in Warehouse stock." When every selected product is managed there, nothing changes and you see "Nothing changed: the stock of these products is managed in Warehouse stock."
Use the X on the right of the bar to clear your selection.
Import products from a file
Click Import Products.
Upload file: choose the merchant channel, then drop or select a .csv, .xlsx or .xls file. Use Sample file to see the expected format and Category IDs for the list of categories.
Prepare products: match each column of your file to a QrX field (Locale, SKU, Title, Description, Categories and Image URL 1 are required). You can save the matching as a template for next time. Then choose to import all products or only specific rows.
Review and import: check the summary and click Import. You see how many products were created and the reason for every row that failed.
Imported products start as Draft.
Add or edit a product
Click New Product or click a product in the list. At the top you see the SKU, status and key facts (channel, countries, categories, options). The buttons:
Save: saves your changes. SKU, Title and Merchant Channel are required. The SKU must be unique within the channel.
Submit for Review: sends a Draft product to QrX for review (your changes are saved first).
Unpublish: takes a live product offline in the QrX Store.
View Draft / Viewing Live: shown for live products. Viewing Live locks the form so you can look without changing anything.
Print labels: print labels for this product (with or without QrX warehouse stock, also for fulfilment partners).
Cancel or the back arrow: leave the product. If you have unsaved changes, QrX asks before you leave.
General tab
Overview: SKU, Title, Unit, Net content (amount and g, kg, ml or l, used to show a price per unit), Brand (shown to shoppers in the QrX app), Currency (set by the merchant channel) and Merchant Channel.
Minimum age: No age limit, 16+ or 18+. Buyers confirm their age in the QrX app. 18+ orders shipped with UPS get Adult signature automatically.
Pricing and Availability: Price (incl. VAT), XPoints, Old Price, Discount % and Discount Amount, VAT % (leave empty to use the channel default), the calculated Price (Ex VAT) and VAT Amount, Available Quantity and the Unlimited stock switch.
For a product whose stock is managed in QrX warehouse stock, the available quantity is read-only. Below it you see the note "Stock is managed in Warehouse stock." with the link Open stock, which opens the Stock tab. You see this right after saving too. Unlimited stock cannot be switched on for such a product. If it was already on, you can switch it off, and back on as long as you have not saved. After you switch it off and save, the warehouse quantity appears within about a minute. A product linked to a dropship item stays fully editable.
Media and Description: up to 6 photos (the first is the cover; JPG, PNG or WebP, max 10 MB each). Click a photo to see it large, or use Edit image URLs to paste links. Then the description and an optional size guide.
Specifications: a table of technical details shown on the product page in the QrX app, for example Group "Battery", Label "Capacity", Value "5000 mAh". Each row has an optional Group, a Label and a Value. Use Add row (up to 60 rows) and the icons to move a row up or down, copy it or delete it. Available for every shop type.
Categories and Tags: pick categories and tags. Type a name and press + to create a new tag.
Food information (food and grocery shops only): allergens, may contain traces of, dietary labels, ingredients and nutrition values per 100 g or 100 ml.
Performance (right side): revenue, paid orders, units sold, average price, revenue trend and top countries for the last 30 days, 90 days or year.
Languages
Click Add language to add a translation. QrX translates the title, unit, description, size guide, ingredients and option names for you right away; check them and press Save. Click a language pill to edit that language. Use the X on a pill to remove the language (applied when you save). Specifications are not translated automatically: each language starts from the rows of the default language and keeps showing them until you change the rows for that language.
Countries tab
Choose the countries where this product is offered. Use the search, Select all or clear.
Options and add-ons tab
Add choices shoppers can make, for example Size or Extra. Click Add option group, give it a title, set Required (shopper must choose) and Allow multiple (shopper can pick more than one), then Add option with a name, price, VAT % and XPoints. Switch off Active to hide an option. Use Save as template to reuse the groups on other products, and Template plus Apply to load them (this replaces the current groups).
Each group also has a Type. Choice is the normal group described above. Pick Text, Date or Photo to let the shopper personalise the product, for example a name to engrave, the date for a cake or a photo to print. These groups have no options and no Allow multiple. Instead you set Max length (Text only, 1 to 500 characters, 100 when left empty) and an optional Extra price (incl. VAT) that is added to the item price. Switch on Required when the shopper must fill it in before adding the product to the basket. A date can be from today up to two years ahead. The shopper fills it in on the product page in the QrX app, and you see it in the order details, at the pack station, on the pick list and on the packing slip. Photos are private: only the shopper, your team and fulfilment partners with access to your orders can see them. QrX deletes them 180 days after the order, and photos that were uploaded but never ordered after 24 hours.
Variants tab
Use variants when one product comes in several versions, for example sizes or colours. Every variant is its own product with its own SKU, price, stock and photos; the variant family groups them together in the QrX app.
Create variants: name the family and its axes (up to 3, for example Size and Colour). This product becomes the first variant.
Add variant: enter the axis values, SKU and price. QrX creates a new Draft product copied from this one.
Link product: add an existing product from the same channel to the family.
In the variants table you can Open, Copy (add a variant prefilled from that one) or Unlink a variant.
Stock tab
On a soft reservation, the warehouse icon Move warehouse sends that order to another warehouse you can use. Finish an open pick list before moving an order whose picking has already started. The price does not change.
Shown when you use QrX warehouse stock. You see On hand, Available, Reserved, Backorder and Incoming, per warehouse and per location, and which orders reserved stock. With purchasing you also see On order: the units still to come on purchase orders you sent, with the earliest expected date. Use Receive, Move, Adjust or Count to change stock, or Open stock item for the full stock page. If the product is not linked yet, click Link or create stock item. Below are the barcodes: the main EAN plus up to 20 extra barcodes; press Save barcodes after a change. For a product linked to a kit the tab shows only Kits available, limited by the scarcest component, with a short note: a kit holds no stock itself and orders reserve and pick its components. Open the stock item to see them. When a kit is linked to a Shopify channel, QrX sends how many kits can be sold in that warehouse.
For a product linked to one stock item, the Stock tab also has the Low stock alert card, under the list of orders that reserved stock. It is the same card as on the stock item page: switch on Alert on, set the Alert level (pieces), choose who also gets an email and a phone alert, then click Save alert. The card saves on its own, apart from the product. A product linked to a kit has no such card. The guide of the Stock screen explains every field.
To remove a stock link, click the bin icon Remove stock link next to the linked stock item. QrX asks you to confirm and tells you what happens to the shop number: for a product it goes back to the number from before the link when one was stored, otherwise it stays as it is; for an option it stays as it is. Open orders keep the stock they already reserved. While a shopper is placing an order for the product the link cannot be removed: try again in a minute.
Two things cannot be linked and show the reason instead of the link button: an option of a product that is in the QrX Store (link the product itself, or give each variant its own product) and the delivery fee product, which is not a stock product. A product that still has stock links on its options cannot be published to the QrX Store either. QrX then shows a message with the button Remove option links, which removes those links after you confirm, or Open the Stock tab. Nothing is saved until the links are gone.
Stock at partner
When a fulfilment partner holds this product, the Stock at partner tab shows each partner warehouse: on hand, sellable, reserved, blocked and backorder, your own purchase price and value, lots and expiry, serials, and the movement history. Bin locations and the partner's own cost stay hidden. On the General tab, Open stock at partner opens this tab.
Product reviews
Shoppers who bought a product in the QrX app can give it 1 to 5 stars and an optional comment once their order is delivered or picked up. Open a saved product and click the Reviews tab to see them.
Summary: the average rating in stars, the number of reviews that count, and how many reviews are hidden.
The review list: one row per review with the rating, the review text, the buyer (first name and the first letter of the last name), the order, the date and whether the review is visible or hidden. The newest reviews are at the top and more load as you scroll.
Hide review (the eye icon): takes a review off the product page in the QrX app after you confirm. Show review puts it back. You need permission to edit products to do this.
Good to know: QrX calculates the average and the number of reviews from the visible reviews only. Hidden reviews do not count. You cannot type or change a rating yourself, and the buyer's email address and phone number are never shown. For pickup and local delivery orders, reviews open after you press Mark picked up or Mark delivered on the order. Payment alone does not open reviews: the order must also be delivered, either reported by the carrier or marked by you.

Tips and common questions
"Please fill in SKU, title and select a channel": these three fields are required before you can save.
"VAT % is required": your merchant channel has no default VAT. Fill in VAT % on the product.
The SKU is already used: each SKU can be used once per merchant channel. Use a different SKU.
Someone else saved the product at the same time: QrX shows a message and lets you reload the latest version.
You reached your plan's product limit: QrX asks you to upgrade before you can add more products.
