## How to Add an Item

<Steps>
  <Step title="Click Add Item">
    The blue **Add Item** button is in the top right of the Inventory page.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Enter the item name">
    Type the name of the item — be specific enough that you can identify it later (e.g. "Nike Air Force 1 White" rather than just "Shoes").
  </Step>

  <Step title="Add the brand">
    Enter the brand name. This helps with filtering and organization as your catalog grows.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Enter the cost">
    Add what you paid to acquire the item. This is your **cost of goods** and is used to calculate profit when the item sells.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Set the acquisition date">
    Enter the date you got the item. This is used for date filtering and aging your inventory.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Add units by size">
    For each size you have, select the size and enter the quantity. You can add multiple size rows for a single item — for example, one row for size 10 (qty 1) and another for size 11 (qty 2).
  </Step>

  <Step title="Save">
    Click **Save** to add the item. It appears in the inventory table immediately with a status of **Unlisted**.
  </Step>
</Steps>

## Adding Multiple Sizes

If you bought the same item in multiple sizes, you don't need to create separate items. Use the **Add Size** button within the Add Item form to add as many size rows as you need. Each size becomes its own unit (or set of units) tracked independently.

**Example:** You bought 2x Nike Dunk Low White in size 10, 1x in size 10.5, and 3x in size 11. You'd add one item with three size rows.

## Tips for Naming Items

<Tip>
  Use a consistent naming format so your inventory stays easy to search. For example: `[Brand] [Model] [Colorway]` — "Nike Dunk Low Panda", "Jordan 1 Retro High OG Chicago".
</Tip>

## After Adding

Once saved, your item is in **Unlisted** status. The next step is to list it for sale:

1. Click the item row to open the detail panel
2. Change the status to **Listed**
3. Set your asking price

The item will then appear on your Storefront automatically.
