Units represent the basic quantities or measures in which a product is sold or purchased. This refers to the smallest individual unit customers can buy. Units can cover a wide range of product dimensions, such as kilograms, grams, liters, packages, etc.
The Units administration screen serves as a repository for all units used in the online store. The units created here can be applied to products as needed.

- If a unit is no longer needed, it can be deleted by clicking the "trash" icon.
