Porter makes it easy to manage and sell retail items — like aftercare, jewelry, or merch — directly through your checkout flow. You can track prices, tax settings, and even pay commissions on product sales to your service providers.
🛍️ How to Manage Retail Items
Log in to app.getporter.io
Click your name in the top-right corner
Go to Item Library
From there, you can:
Click “New Item” to add a product
Click the three dots (•••) next to an existing item to edit or delete it
➕ Adding a New Retail Item
When creating a new item, fill in the following fields:
Item Name: What the product is called (e.g., “Tattoo Aftercare Cream”)
Category: Choose from Aftercare, Jewelry, Merch, or Other
Default Price: Enter the price you most commonly charge for this item. (You can always change the price at the time of checkout)
Sales Tax. Select whether the item is taxable. If taxable, we’ll apply your current Product Tax Rate during checkout. If not, no tax will be collected. Follow our guide here on how to setup sales tax for your account.
Commission (Optional)
If you have commission-based service providers, you can set a commission rate for each item. When the item is sold as part of a checkout tied to an appointment, the commission will be automatically paid to the artist
✅ Editing or Deleting Items
To make changes:
Click the three dots (•••) next to any item in your library
Select Edit to update the name, price, category, or commission rate
Select Delete to remove the item entirely
