Right now, the products feature only supports 1) the product name, 2) the product quantity, 3) the product cost, and 4) recurring or fixed price.
It would be incredible if I could associate custom fields with products. In my world, I need to be able to add things like Unit of Measurement (which, could be a drop-down feature).
This would make product reporting amazing for my company.
Went to bulk import products from spreadsheet and there is no field for a SKU or catalog number? I guess I will now try to add the sku to the end of the product name. Like the other users who've commented, it's hard to understand why there isn't a field for sku/catalog number or the ability to customize a field for this value.
My company too can't make HubSpot our 'Hub' for quoting. We need the flexability of custom properties like you can add to contact, company and deal records.
Custom properties also need to be set as text, monetary value or percentage. Similar to the way excel lets you format a cell.
The price table on the quote also needs to have the option to select what properties (default & custom) are shown.
Then we can make HubSpot our true Sales Hub.
And if we are asking for the world, make a hyperlink available too. We have 8.5x11 sized specification sheets that would be great to link to. Not everyone can put a thumnail image of their product right in the table.
I believe this to be critical to using Products. We are down the Product path but likely need to roll back and use a different process. For example there is no "amount in company currency" on Product so Product reporting is useless in my multi-currency world but I only want to report on new Deal Products...not the full amount of a Deal which also includes renewals.
Looking forward seeing implementation of nearly all the mentioned ideas in this thread. I want to add the ability to make products optional and to decide which ones shuld be added to grand total.
Right now, HubSpot quotes is just for very basic ans straight forward quotes and not a solution for a new business sales proces..
Agreed. This is such a basic feature to have. Salesforce have had this ability for close to 10 years. Seems odd that HS dont have this basic capability
What most of us are describing is a PIM tool. I discovered it after looking into them, and there seem to be a few good ones. Akeneo, Plytix, and Jasper appear to be the three best cloud options. There's some pretty cool features to draw from.
Yes. This would make sense. Especially if you want to sync to Shopify or other e-commerce solutions. Currently, the products syncing with HubSpot from Shopify are very generic and contain no variants or options.
It would also be really helpful to be able to sort the list of products in a way that is meaningful to us. Currently it is sorted by which product was added last and cannot be changed.
We have certain products that are used more often than others so it would be extremely useful to be able to have them at the top of the list when adding products to a deal.
This is such as well designed service overall. Such a shame that we can't add custom fields to products. Just like other we need all kind of custom attribute to integrate with our other LoB apps: Part number, Category, etc..
