Adding  a Service Item in Nimbus

Service items are the services that you sell as part of your retail business. They are non-inventory items meaning you don’t track inventory for such items.

For example, if you are running an apparel store and also sell stitching services, you can easily define stitching as one of the items. Once defined, you can sell the service items like product items, and also track their sales in sales report.

Let’s learn how to add service items
