Create Products
Click your initials or avatar image in the bottom left corner of Nutshell
Click Company Settings
Under the Organization heading, click Products
Click Add Product
Add a name
Choose your Product type (Good or Service)

Add the product value to the currency field
Administrators can define values for different currencies with Markets.
If your product prices vary for each of your customers, you can adjust the price for each lead by manually adding a new price on the product for the lead.
Good vs. Service
The main functional difference between a Good and a Service in Nutshell is that Goods may only be added once to an individual lead, and you can adjust the quantity.
Services may be added multiple times to leads, so if you are a service-based company generating multiple quotes or providing multiple services, this can be tracked on your lead without adjusting the product quantity. Note that you may still adjust the quantity of your Service product with your leads if you choose to do so.
Add products to leads
Inside the lead, on the right side, click "Add product..."
Update the quantity
Adjust the price or discount % as needed
Add any useful notes to the product
FAQs
What happens if I delete a product?
Nutshell will never delete any historically logged data pertaining to that product. You won’t be able to add it to new leads, but you can still segment, filter by, and report on that product so long as it is associated with your old closed leads.
I applied a discount to a product on one of my leads, but then the price became $0.00— why did this happen?
The discount calculator will only work if your products have a non-zero starting price. If you added a $0.00 product to your lead and then manually entered the price, the discount calculator will reference the starting price saved in your settings, resulting in the $0.00 amount you're seeing after applying a discount.
