Using the products module, you can bring in the products (hardware or software) or services that you offer into the CRM, associate them with your deals, and set the type of pricing.
For example, let's say you sell vintage commodities like vintage cars, wine, watches, etc. You can add them to your web application, configure the type of pricing (unit or subscription), and associate the products with their respective deals.
