Summary
The purpose of this page is to provide examples and additional information for setting up Curtains in BUZ. This setup is required if you wish to price curtains based off Number of Dropsor Calculated Fabric Quantity.
If your Curtains follow a standard price structure and doesn’t require the drops or fabric quantity to be calculated for pricing, please follow BUZ’s standard product setup guides.
The setup pages are on the left-hand menu starting with Step 1, Step 2 etc to make it easier to follow.
At the end of the setup, you should be able to add/edit/deactivate inventory, questions and answers and prices for Curtains.
There are 4 main setup areas for Curtains, they are:
-Groups (also known as Inventory Groups, Product Groups, Products etc)
-Inventory items (Fabrics and components)
-Prices
-Group Options (Questions and Answers)
