We at QuickSell in our very early days understood that the necessity of individual businesses to have certain parameters regarding their product information exist which might be different from other businesses in similar category or even similar competing businesses in the same category. Hence we have created custom fields which our business owners can create as per their database requirement and even have the flexibility to use this data fields for either displaying as product information in the catalogues or for internal team usage to filter out data. For eg: A gold jeweller would require to display carat while a diamond jeweller would require to display diamond weight additionally. While a footwear manufacturer would have to display information like upper material, sole material, stitching quality, etc information.
Now, these are product information crucial for a seller to convey to their buyers which QuickSell allows you to individually add each parameter as public fields.
But there would also be information which is required for the internal/sales team, not necessary to display to the customer like supplier name, product purchased date, storage unit number. These kindof parameter are called private custom field and need not be shown to customer while it is important for the sales or order processing team.
