Product types, fields, and the detail page layout with all sections.
Product types
Salesbuildr supports several product types to match how IT services are sold:
- One-time — Hardware, licenses, or any single-purchase item
- Recurring — Monthly or annual subscriptions and managed services
- Labor — Time-based billing for project work or hourly services
- Bundle — A group of products sold together as a package (see Bundles section below)
Each product type has its own pricing rules, margin calculations, and how it appears on quotes.

Add-ons
Add-ons are optional products attached to a main product. When a sales rep adds the main product to a quote, they're prompted to consider relevant add-ons — increasing deal value without extra effort.
You configure add-ons at the product level or at the category level. Category-level add-ons apply to all products in that category.
Social
The Social section stores marketing and sales enablement links for the product:
- Website — Product page on the vendor's site
- Book a demo link
- Free trial link
- Promo Code — Rich text promotional content displayed on the product page
- apiDoc — Link to API documentation
These links appear on the product detail view and can help sales reps share resources with customers.
Data Points & Specifications
Custom data points and product specifications provide structured product information:
- Data Points — Configurable per-product fields for tracking any attribute
- Specifications — Structured table (section, title, value) auto-populated from distributor data or entered manually
Categories
Products are organized into categories. Categories appear as filters in the product picker when building quotes, making it faster for sales reps to find what they need.
Each product can belong to multiple categories, with one marked as the primary category.
Media
Upload media assets for the product:
- Banner — Displayed on the product detail page (ideal size 1380×430 pixels)
- Meta Image — Used when sharing the product link (scaled to 1200×630 pixels)

- E-Book (PDF) — Longer-form downloadable content
- Case Study (PDF) — Customer success stories
- Screenshots — Up to 3 product screenshots for the detail page gallery
Admin
The Admin section contains administrative settings:
- Do not import pricing and availability — Prevent distributor feed updates for this product
- Enable company visibility whitelist — Restrict which companies can see the product
- Stock alert threshold — Get notified when internal stock drops below a level

Bundles
Set the product type to Bundle on the General Info tab to create a bundle product. Once saved, the bundle management section appears where you add products, set quantities, and configure pricing.
See Bundling for a complete guide to building and managing bundles.
Dynamic pricing
Dynamic pricing automatically derives product prices from distributor feeds using your markup rules. See Dynamic Pricing for setup and configuration.
Product comparison
Compare up to 3 products side-by-side within the same category. Product comparison is available from the category browse page.
The comparison view shows:
- Product cards for each selected product
- Vendor information and verification status
- Category features — checkmarks for each feature the product supports (defined per category)
- Custom data points — both vendor-level and product-level custom fields
- Specifications — structured spec data grouped by section (e.g., processor, memory, storage)
To add a fourth product, you must replace one of the existing three.
