2. Fill out your product information.

  • Label your product

  • Select which estimate types you want it to be available on

  • Enter your coverage rate for square footage, linear footage, and items

  • Enter your price/gallon (selling price, what you are charging the client)

  • Customize your unit type. The default is gallon, but you can create a different unit type (e.g., item, 5 gal, quart)
