Creating and selling weighted products in Retail POS

If your business needs to sell items by weight, you can create items with weight-based units. Whether an item is sold by piece (bottle, pack, etc.) or by weight (pound, kilogram, etc.) is determined by the ‘Sold by’ option.

You can change this option both in the Back Office and the mobile POS.

Step 1: Go to the Back Office to update a product. Select the Products menu. Select your desired product.

Step 2: From the Edit product page, go to option ‘Sold by’ to indicate whether a product is sold by piece (bottle, pack, etc.) or by weight (kilogram, pound, etc.).
