How to add unique products?

This is a common question from artists and makers. For example, if you sell paintings or handmade pieces, each one exists only once, so two customers must not be able to buy it. A Google Form keeps taking responses for the same piece, so you have to remove the question by hand after each sale and sometimes you are too late. With Neartail, you can set the quantity and the stock to 1. The product is marked as out of stock as soon as someone orders it. Even better, each piece has its own photo, price and description, so your customers can see what they are buying.

Let's start. Create your order form and follow the steps below.

How to add a unique product?

  • On the page that opens, upload your menu, a PDF or an image and click Convert. If you do not have one, click Back, click "Enter your form name", type your form's name, click Generate, wait about a minute and click Proceed.
