Navigation:
Inventory Control > Add Item

This page allows you to add a new item. Using this page you will be able to add an item's name, description, price, category. If you have not created any categories yet, you are able to do so at: 
Manage > Categories > Add Category 

For example if you wanted to create a new item for your book store, you would first want to create a subcategory of your main category. You would navigate to the 'Add Category' page and create a subcategory called Biographies. Then you would navigate to the 'Add Item' page to create your item called Abe Lincoln's Biography, with a description 'a great book on Abe's life', a price of $10, and the category Biographies. 

The other way you can add items to the shop is through the import/export function, which would allow you to add multiple items at once through a spreadsheet. (Imports/Exports > Import Item Data).
