:::WorkflowBlockItem
Once** Basic Info** is filled in, you can then add the **Tax Category**:

- If tax-exempt, select that.
- If a tax code is needed, select it or create a new one. 
  - When creating a code, you will want to give it a **Name **and **a percentage **(**%**).

::::WorkflowBlockItem
After the **Tax Category** is finished, you can fill out the **Inventory**.

- You can choose to **Track Inventory**.
- Additionally, you can set a **Low Stock** number to be notified when stock reaches a specific level.
  - While you might not use Stock tracking for something like popcorn, it can be used for sweaters, mugs, etc.

If you are NOT tracking inventory, there will not be an option to add stock below when creating Variants.

:::WorkflowBlockItem
The next step will be to add **Options** to your items.

- If your item has multiple options (color, size, etc.), you can specify that here.
- For example, an **Option** for a sweatshirt would be its "size". 
  - The **Value **for that would be the size, IE, Small.
- Another example would be an **Option** for the "Color" of a mug.
  - The **Values** for those could be the various available colors, i.e., Blue.
- Be sure to select **Done** to save your options!

::::WorkflowBlockItem
After setting up Options, you can verify the **Variants**.

- Variants can be edited to show the price and quantity of each item. 
  - For example, if you have varying types of mugs, you can adjust stock and price for each.

By selecting the box next to "**Variant Name**" at the top, you can bulk-edit the prices and quantities for each.

Finally, you can adjust the **Settings** for that item. Under this final section, you will be able to adjust:

- **Sales Channels** - Where this item can be sold.
- **Order Limits** - Limit the number of these items that can be sold per order.
- **Refundable** - The admin can issue a refund to the patron after purchase.
