Complete Product Management Guide: From Listing to Fulfilment
End-to-end Ordafy product lifecycle: catalogue setup, inventory, marketing, orders, analytics, and payouts in Business.
The full loop
Successful Ordafy sellers treat product management as a loop: list → stock → sell → fulfil → learn → improve. This guide stitches the core Business screens into one path.
1. Catalogue
Create and maintain listings in Products (/products). Add variants, media, and custom fields. Track quantity in Inventory (/products/inventory).
2. Money readiness
Complete Payout setup (guide), confirm plan under Billing, and understand fees on Pricing.
3. Channels
- Shop for online discovery and cart checkout
- POS till for in-person
- Payment Links for remote invoices
4. Demand
Use Marketing for promo codes, email campaigns, and share links. Keep one canonical Shop URL per listing.
5. Fulfilment
Process work in Orders, update status, manage refunds carefully, and record exceptions in Notes.
6. Insight
Review Analytics and Reports, then adjust catalogue, pricing, or staffing via Team.
Optional: services and rooms
If you also book time, maintain Services, Bookings, Availability, and Rooms when lodging applies—without mixing those workflows into product SKUs.
