magpie

set up a product once and every invoice + quote you send picks it from the same list. no more retyping name, price, or photo.

pawpaw invoices and mayhaw quotes pull line items straight from your magpie catalog. pick a product, the description and price drop in pre-filled.

categories, search, and archive turn a 200-product pile into something you can scan in seconds.

moving from another tool? export your products to a csv there, drop the file into magpie, and you'll have your full catalog in under a minute.

products with photos look more professional on invoices and customer-facing pages. even a phone snapshot is enough — magpie crops and resizes for you.

they look similar but they're different. archive hides without breaking history; delete removes everything. pick wrong and you can lose past invoice data.

for products that come in versions — small / medium / large, red / blue / green — variants let you keep one parent product with one description and a row per variant. each variant has its own sku, barcode, price, and stock.

for kits and bundled offers — "starter pack: 3 candles + 1 holder." a bundle is a parent product whose components are other magpie products. the customer sees one line; you keep stock and cost data per component.

every product has a cost field next to price. fill it in and magpie shows your margin per product on the dashboard. it also feeds sycamore real cost-of-goods data for the p&l.

for shops with 50+ products, the category filter narrows the list to one section at a time. saves scrolling and makes the picker faster on the invoice.

instead of one photo, magpie supports up to 8 images per product. useful for showing a product from different angles, in context, or with packaging.

for businesses with multiple tax rates (food = 2%, beverages = 8%, supplies = sales tax exempt), tag each product with a tax category. invoices auto-apply the right rate per line.

for cleanup — a category you no longer carry, or a bad import. select multiple rows and delete in one shot. archive is still safer for products that have history.

for shops with a barcode scanner — magpie variants store barcodes, and the line-item picker can find a product instantly when you scan one. faster than typing.
