# Adding products

> Add weight-based and fixed-price products to your catalog.

Products are the items you sell. Each product has a name, price, and type (weight or fixed-price).

🌱 **Free plan:** You can have up to 5 active products. To add more, upgrade to Season Pass or Annual. CSV import and export are available on paid plans only.

### Details

* **Name** — what appears in the POS browser (e.g. "Heirloom Tomatoes")
* **Type** — Weight or Item (see below)
* **Price** — price per unit (per lb, oz, kg, or g for weight; flat price for items)
* **Unit** — for weight products: lbs, oz, kg, or g
* **Category** — optional grouping
* **Taxable** — whether tax applies at checkout

## Weight vs. item products

**Weight** — Enter the weight at the time of sale. PopUp calculates the price (weight × price per unit). Use this for anything sold by the pound, ounce, kilogram, or gram.

**Item** — A flat price. You tap to add it to the cart. Use this for pre-packaged goods, eggs by the dozen, or anything with a set price regardless of size.

## SKU

A SKU is assigned automatically when you create a product, but you can edit it to keep track in your own records. You can change it when updating an existing product.

## Tax

Taxes can be added to the sale price of a product — enable the **Taxable** toggle to charge tax. Shopify calculates the rate based on your location when you log in to the POS app.

If you change locations, the best practice is to log out of Shopify POS and log back in, which will prompt you for your new location.
