Create a product or service

Create a product or service with default settings like a price and name, so you can add them to invoices and bills. Once you add a saved product or service to an invoice or bill, you can make changes if required.

If you have a lot of products to add to Wave, you can use our Google Sheets add-on, Wave Connect, to import multiple products from a spreadsheet.
