Custom Product Creation
Custom product generation or "options to variations" engine designed to de-fragment your inventory
Overview
NicklPay’s Custom Product Creation module is designed for businesses that sell highly configurable or made-to-order products — enabling them to generate unique SKUs automatically from a base product and a combination of options.
This module is ideal for companies that offer customized items today but plan to stock or resell those same configurations in the future. By turning every custom order into a structurally consistent, inventory-ready SKU, NicklPay creates operational continuity between customization, manufacturing, stocking, and selling.
Whether you produce apparel with size/color/print combinations, promotional products with artwork variations, equipment packages with optional add-ons, or specialized kits built from components, NicklPay handles the entire SKU creation logic with precision and scalability.
Instead of manually creating new SKUs or losing track of custom variations, NicklPay ensures every possible configuration is cataloged, traceable, and ready for inventory movement — all automatically.
