Quick Summary

Retail products allow you to sell physical items, bar products, digital (Video) content, or gift cards directly through your Trainin platform.

These products can be sold through the Shop, via the cash register, or through a unique checkout link depending on how you configure the sales options in your products.

Why This Matters

Selling retail and digital products allows you to create additional revenue streams beyond classes and Memberships.

You can easily sell items such as clothing, supplements, drinks, gift cards, workout programs, or video content while managing pricing, stock, and purchase options from one place.

Step by Step Instructions

Step 1: Open the product creation page: My Company > Products > Retail/bar > New item
– This opens the product configuration page where you can create a new item that can be sold through the Shop, POS (Pro and Premium), or via a unique checkout link.

Step 2: Choose the product type you want to create: Retail / Bar / Digital / Giftcard / Video
– Select the category that best matches the product you want to sell, such as clothing, drinks, training programs, or video collections.

Step 3: Enter the product name and optional size or variant information
– Add a clear and simple product name so clients immediately understand what they are purchasing. You can also specify sizes or quantities, such as clothing sizes or product volume.

Step 4: Add a product description for the Shop
– Write a short explanation of the product so clients know what they are buying when they view the product in the Shop.

Step 5: Configure how the product can be sold
– Choose between selling through the cash register only, through both the cash register and the Shop, or through a unique checkout link if you want to share the product privately.

Step 6: Add optional purchase information and email instructions
– You can include additional information that appears in the purchase confirmation email, such as pickup instructions or product usage details.

Step 7: Set the pricing and optional product details
– Define the standard price and optionally add a special price, purchase price for margin insights, a SKU code, or stock tracking for inventory management.

Best Practice

Keep product names and descriptions simple and clear so clients instantly understand what they are purchasing when browsing the Shop.

If you sell physical products, enable stock tracking to prevent selling items that are no longer available.

Pro Tips

  • Use the unique checkout link option when you want to share a product with a specific group of clients, such as through WhatsApp, email campaigns, or a private promotion.

  • You can also combine physical and digital products to increase revenue; for example selling branded merchandise alongside training programs or video collections.
