Finding a Product Using Product Search
The Product Search function is the fastest way to locate items in your POS system, whether you’re adding products to a sale, order, or just checking stock levels. You can search using a variety of methods, including SKU, barcode, product name, or keywords.
Where to Find the Product Search
You can access the product search from:
-
The Sales screen
-
The Orders screen
-
The Admin > Products section (for management tasks)
How to Search for a Product
-
Click into the Product Search field (usually at the top of the screen or in the add-item section).
-
Start typing one of the following:
-
Product name (e.g., “T-shirt” or “Classic Mug”)
-
Barcode or SKU (e.g., “9349322” or “TSHIRT-RED-S”)
-
Keywords from the description or tags (e.g., “Summer” or “Clearance”)
-
-
Results will appear in a dropdown list as you type.
If you scan a barcode using a connected scanner, the system will automatically search and select the matching product.
Tips for Faster Searching
-
Exact matches on SKU or barcode will automatically select and add the product (if you’re building an invoice or order).
-
Partial text matches are supported; try entering part of the name if you’re unsure.
-
If multiple variants of a product exist (e.g., sizes or colors), you’ll be prompted to choose the correct one.
-
Use Quick Access Tiles for commonly sold items to reduce the need to search manually.
What to Do if a Product Doesn’t Show Up
-
Make sure the product is active and not archived.
-
Double-check spelling or try searching by SKU instead of name.
-
If recently added, ensure the product is saved and synced.
-
Confirm you're searching in the correct location or terminal context if your system uses multi-site inventory.
