Product Module Overview
Product Types
Dispensary Tree supports two types of products; Simple Products and Custom Products
Simple Products
A Simple Product is something that is made or manufactured to be sold to consumers or other businesses. It can be a physical item, such as a smartphone, a piece of clothing, or a household appliance. It can also be a service, such as consulting, software development, or entertainment streaming. Products are typically created to fulfill a need or desire, and they can vary widely in complexity, function, and form. With your Dispensary Tree account, you can sell "simple" products to patients and practitioners. An example of a simple product include Vitamins, Minerals, Probiotics, Soap, Prepackaged Teas, Liniments, Massage Oils etc.
Simple Product Variants
Product Variants allow you to create different prices for simple products based on size, weight, color etc. You can create as many product variants as you want and each simple product can have an unlimited number of variants.
A Custom Product lets you sell your herbal ingredients to patients and practitioners, without requiring the end user to build a custom formula. An example of this may be selling a pound of a herb, or creating a mixture of ingredients that will be sold as is, without modification. You can create formulas with any of your herbal ingredients including premix formulas. An example may be a common formula that is good for a sinus infection. Custom Products are not pre-made products, but instead formulated as they are ordered the same way you would fulfill or prepare a custom formula.
Pricing Custom Products
There are 3 ways to determine pricing of a custom product. Only one method or scenario can be used per custom product.
1. Fixed Amount, Fixed Price
With this scenario, you can determine the quantity or volume of the custom product you want to sell and also determine its exact price.
Example. 100g @ $10.00 Total Price or 200 ml @ $25.00 Total Price
2. Fixed Amount, Variable Pricing
With this scenario, admin can determine the quantity or volume of the custom product, but to calculate the price, we use the selling price per unit of each ingredient multiplied by the total amount of each ingredient in the custom product. Example, you want to sell in quantities of 1 oz, 2 oz, and 5 oz. The system will look at how much of each ingredient is contained and multiply it by the ingredients selling price per unit.
3. Variable Amount & Variable Pricing
With this scenario, the end user can specify the total quantity or volume of the custom product they want, and we use the selling price per ingredient to determine the final selling price. Dispensary Admin can determine the minimum and maximum quantity/volume.
