Managing Products
Making a Product Visible in the Shop
- Go to eCommerce > Products → Create (or edit existing).
- Set Can be Sold = True.
- Set Available in POS if also selling in POS.
- Add product Description (Sales) – Shown on product page.
- Upload one or more Images. First image is the cover.
- Set Category for navigation.
- Set Website Ribbon – Badge like "Sale!", "New", "20% OFF".
- Set Visibility – Visible, Hidden (by search only), Hidden.
- Set Price and Cost.
Product Variants
On the Attributes tab:
- Add attribute (Size, Color, Material).
- Add attribute values (S, M, L, XL).
- Quickenerp auto-generates all variants in a grid.
- Configure per variant: price, SKU, barcode, image, weight.
- On the website, customers select attributes via dropdowns, radio buttons, colour swatches, or a size grid, depending on the attribute's display type.
- Price Extra – Add a surcharge for specific variant values (e.g. XL +$3.00).
Product Categories & Navigation
Go to eCommerce > Configuration > Product Categories. Create a hierarchy:
- Categories appear as shop navigation.
- Subcategories can be shown as filters.
- Each category can have a banner image and SEO description.
Product Filters & Search
In Edit mode on /shop, configure the filter panel:
- Price Range.
- Product Categories.
- Attributes (Size, Color).
- Rating.
- Custom filter options.
Digital / Downloadable Products
For non-physical goods (e-books, license keys, software), mark the product as a service/digital type and attach the downloadable file — the customer receives a download link on the order confirmation page and by email instead of a physical delivery being scheduled.
Stock Display on the Product Page
Optionally show "In Stock" / "Only 3 left" / "Out of Stock" messages on the product page, sourced live from Inventory quantities — configure the exact wording and threshold in eCommerce > Configuration > Settings > Inventory Defaults.

Promotions & Coupons
Enable the Coupons (loyalty) and Gift Cards modules in Apps.
Creating a Coupon Program
- Go to eCommerce > Configuration > Coupon Programs.
- Click Create.
- Name – Internal name.
- Rule:
- Minimum purchase amount.
- Specific products or categories.
- Customer group.
- Percentage discount (e.g. 10% off).
- Fixed amount discount (e.g. $15 off).
- Free shipping.
- Free product.
Gift Cards
Go to eCommerce > Configuration > Gift Cards.
- Sell gift cards as products.
- Customers buy a gift card → receive a code.
- Recipient enters code at checkout to redeem.
- Partial redemption supported – remaining balance stays for next purchase.
Automatic Promotions (Cart Rules)
Go to Sales > Configuration > Promotions. Create rules that auto-apply without a code:
- Buy X get Y free.
- Spend $100, get 20% off.
- Free shipping over $50.
eCommerce Reporting
eCommerce Analysis
Go to eCommerce > Reporting > eCommerce Analysis. Pivot with:
- Dimensions: Product, Category, Customer, Country, Payment Method, Shipping Method.
- Measures: Sales (Untaxed), Total, Quantity, Number of Orders.
- Filters: Date Range, Order Status, Sales Channel.
Key Metrics
- Conversion Rate – Visitors who completed checkout / total visitors.
- Average Order Value – Total sales / number of orders.
- Cart Abandonment Rate – Carts created but not paid.
- Top Selling Products – Volume and revenue.
- Sales by Channel – Direct, Referral, Social, Email.
Abandoned Cart Recovery
Enable Email Marketing integration. Quickenerp can auto-send abandoned cart emails after 1 hour, 24 hours, and 72 hours. Configure in eCommerce > Configuration > Settings > Abandoned Carts.
Best Practices
- Review cart abandonment rate weekly.
- A/B test product page layouts using the website builder (duplicate page → test variant).
- Monitor payment failure rates per provider.
- Analyze which customer segments buy which products.
- Cross-check eCommerce revenue against Sales/Accounting reports monthly — the numbers should match once orders are invoiced, so a gap usually flags a stuck or unpaid order.
