❓ FAQ & Troubleshooting
Q1: Which method is better to use?
Both methods work the same way. Use the Dashboard for quick product entry, and the Products section if you’re already managing your catalog.
Q2: Do I have to fill every field?
No. Other fields like description, images, expiry date, and barcode are optional but help with better organization.
Q3: What happens if I forget to enable Low Product Alert?
You won’t get notified when stock runs low. You can always enable it later by editing the product.
