Yes! You can download label-sized PDFs with visual Barcodes and print labels.

"Can I upload new inventory in bulk?"
Yes, a Bulk Upload tool is available in the "Actions" button on the Products & Variants page.

A variant is simply a version of a product. For example, a t-shirt could be your main product, and the different sizes it comes in would be the variants.
"The Category filter buttons don't work."
Log out and back in, and they'll be good as new!
"What should my sync settings be?"
Turning sync 'ON' means Thrive pushes info out to your register.
Turning sync 'OFF' means Thrive doesn't push any inventory information.

"My products aren't syncing to my point of sale"
We have a checklist for that! Check it out.
"Why does Thrive seem slow?"
If you're on a Clover device, those run a pretty old version of Android. So we recommend using a laptop or desktop to access Shopventory.com or ThriveMetrics.com from the browser.
If you're working with a larger inventory (15k products or more), loading all that data may take a minute. Our partners only allow us to process data at a certain rate.
Otherwise, please start a chat or contact us to tell us about it and we can troubleshoot.
"How long does Thrive take to sync with my POS?"
Changes made in Thrive reflect in the point of sale within 2-3 min on average, 10 min max.
Sales made in the point of sale are reflected in Thrive within 2-3 min on average, (99% in under 10 min), 6 hours max.
Changes made in the point of sale provider's inventory system: NEVER
"I can't download a PDF/CSV"
Clover devices do not allow downloads. Use your laptop/desktop/tablet and go to shopventory.com to access your account and download files.
Check your downloads folder in your browser settings.
Try a different browser.

"How do I delete/disconnect a merchant account integration?"
That has to be done by a Thrive administrator.
Just start a chat and let us know which merchant account integration you'd like removed.
Note: Deleting a merchant account integration will not delete the corresponding inventory from Thrive.
