🍱 Composer – Importing Single Products (Including Products with Variants)

Use this when you want to bring individual products from Controls to your Composer inventory.

Before you start

  • Set up products in Controls first

    • Composer does not create products from scratch.
    • Make sure your products (and any variants) already exist and are correct in your Controls → Products tab.

  • Understand how variants appear in Composer

    If a product has variants in Controls (for example Delicious Cake with sizes Small/Medium/Large), you will see multiple lines in the Composer Import tab:

    • Delicious Cake
    • Delicious Cake (Small)
    • Delicious Cake (Medium)
    • Delicious Cake (Large)


In other words, each variant appears as its own “product” line, with the variant name in brackets.


This is expected and allows you to control pricing and usage per variant in Composer.

Step-by-step: import single products into Composer

  1. Open Inventory in Composer

    • Launch Composer on your Controls dashboard, from the left-hand menu.
    • Then from composer click 📦 Inventory.

  2. Go to the Import tab

    • At the top of the Inventory section, click the Import tab.
    • You’ll see a list of items from your Controls inventory that are available to import into Composer.

  3. Select the products (and variants) you want to import

    • For simple products (no variants):

      • Tick the checkbox next to the product name (or click Import on that row).

    • For products with variants:

      • Tick the checkboxes for:

        • The base product (e.g. Delicious Cake), and
        • Each variant you want to import, such as:
          • Delicious Cake (Small)
          • Delicious Cake (Medium)
          • Delicious Cake (Large)

      • You can select as many lines as you like at once.

    • Once you’ve selected everything you need, click Import Selected.

  4. Confirm the import settings

    • A dialog box (e.g. Import Products) will open.

    • Check the Import as dropdown is set to Single:

      • This is correct for both:
        • Plain single products, and
        • Variants (each variant is treated as an individual item in Composer).

    • Click Import Selected again to confirm.

  5. Verify imported items in Composer

    • When the import is complete:

      • Go to the Products tab in Composer.
      • You should now see:
        • Your simple products, and
        • Each selected variant as its own line item (e.g. Delicious Cake (Small), Delicious Cake (Medium), etc.).

    • These items are now ready to:

      • Be added to your pricelists, and/or
      • Be used as contents in bundles or packages.

 

Practical tips

  • Naming consistency helps
    Use clear variant names in Controls (e.g. “Small / Medium / Large”, “Single / Double”) so the Composer list is easy to scan.

  • If you can’t see an item to import

    • Double-check it exists and is active in Controls → Products.
    • Make sure you’re looking under the Import tab in Composer → Inventory.

What to do next

After importing single products, you can:

  • Add them to your pricelists so they can be used for orders.
  • Move on to importing products with modifiers if you have more complex setups.
