If you’re building a custom application where users can purchase products, you’ll probably want an easy to use tool that allows internal team members to add and modify products. With Retool, you can build a frontend that makes it easy for your team to add new products to your inventory while including contextual metadata like product images, weight, dimensions, category, title, and description. And if they need to update a product (e.g., change an image of an existing SKU), they can easily do that from the same interface.
