Packs and barcodes: sell by the piece, pack or case

Every setting

To set up packs, follow these steps. In this example, one bottle costs MVR 5, and a pack of 12 costs MVR 55.

1. Tap Set up packs. A pack called Single is made for you. It holds one, at the item's price.
2. Under Counted in, tap what you count, like bottles. (Titles like this show in capital letters.)
3. If the Count bottles switch is grey, tap it so it turns green.
4. Type how many bottles you have in the big box, like 40.
5. Tap Add a pack. A panel called New pack opens.
6. Type a name in the Name box, like Pack of 12.
7. Type 12 in the big box under How many bottles in it.
8. Type 55 in the Price for the pack box.
9. Tap Done at the top right. You are back in Packs.
10. Add each pack the same way.
11. Tap Done at the top right.

On an item you already added, a dark message says "Saved" at the bottom. On a new item, tap Add to my shop at the bottom.

On your Items page, the item now shows "2 packs" and the count, like "40 bottles". On the item, the tile on the right, under Shown, shows your count, like 40. Under it, it says "bottles · all packs". Tap it to open Packs.

Counted in

This is the unit for your one count. You can tap pcs (pieces, picked when you start), bottles, cans, packets, kg, g or L. For your own word, tap + Your own, type it and tap outside the box. The app says "Half units are fine, like 0.5 kg."

The word you pick shows in the other settings. For example, Count bottles and How many bottles in it.

Count bottles

This switch says Count and your unit. When it is on, the app says "Every pack takes from this". Type how many you have in the big box, or tap − and +.

When it is off, the app says "Off · packs never sell out on their own".

If you keep stock in more than one place, there is no big box. The panel says, for example, "40 bottles in total. Change it in Stock." See Keep stock in more than one place.

Warn me at

This shows when Count bottles is on. It starts at Off. Tap + to set a number. The app says "In bottles. Shows a Low badge and a nudge". A nudge is a small reminder. See Keep count of your stock.

With more than one place, you also see Different at each place. See Packs and barcodes: stock and costs at each place.

Add a pack

Tap Add a pack under your packs to add one. Each pack in the list shows:

• its name
• how much it holds and how many are left, like "12 bottles · 3 left", or "Sold out"
• Picked first, on the pack one tap adds at the Counter
• Counter only, on a pack customers cannot see
• its price, or "No price"

Tap a pack to change it. Under the list, a box shows your packs the way customers see them, like "MVR 4.58 each · Save MVR 5".

Name

The name customers and your team see, like Single, Pack of 12 or Case of 24. Every pack needs a name. Two packs cannot have the same name.

How many bottles in it

How much of your unit one pack holds. The app says "Selling one takes this many bottles off the count." Use a number above 0, like 1, 12 or 0.5.

At the bottom of the pack, a note says what your count makes. For example, "Shares the item's count: 40 bottles makes 3 of this pack."

Follow the item price

The item price is the price on the item's big Price tile. When this switch is on, the pack costs the item price times how much it holds. The app shows the sum, like "12 × MVR 5 = MVR 60. Moves when the item price changes." Until both numbers are set, it says "Set how many it holds and the item price first."

When it is off, the app says "Off · this pack keeps its own price".

It starts on for the Single pack that Set up packs makes. It starts off for packs you add. The Price panel tells you too, like "1 of your packs follow this price and change with it."

Price for the pack

Type the price in the box. When Follow the item price is on, the box shows the price with a Follows label. You cannot type in it then.

Under the box, the app shows the price for one, and what customers save. For example, "MVR 4.58 per bottle. Customers save MVR 5 against Single." If your shop has GST, a green label shows the GST on that price.

Picked first

This shows when the item has two or more packs. One pack is always picked first. On that pack, the app says "One tap at the Counter adds this pack, and your shop shows it first". On the others, it says "Make this the pack one tap adds".

To change it, open another pack and turn on Picked first there.

Sell online

This switch starts on. The app says "Customers can pick it on your shop".

Turn it off for a pack you only sell in person. The app then says "Only at the Counter and on pay links". The pack shows Counter only in the list. At least one pack must sell online.

Barcode on this pack

Type the barcode or tap Scan. Scanning this barcode at the Counter adds this pack. See Packs and barcodes: codes and scanning.

Remove this pack

1. Open the pack.
2. Tap Remove this pack at the bottom.
3. Tap Remove.

The app says "Past orders keep it on their receipts." To keep the pack, tap Keep it.

Turn off packs

1. In Packs, tap Turn off packs at the bottom.
2. Tap Remove all.

The app says "The item goes back to one price. Past orders keep them on their receipts."

Sell them as packs

Use this when an item has sizes that are really packs. For example, Single and Pack of 12.

1. Tap the Sizes button on the item. It may show your own word, like Weights.
2. Tap the note that starts "Are these packs of one thing". Packs opens with your sizes as packs.
3. Check the number in the box called One stock count. The app says "Your sizes' counts join into one. We added them up. Check it."
4. Tap a pack.
5. Type how many bottles it holds, under How many bottles in it.
6. Tap Done. Do the same for each pack.
7. Tap Done at the top right.

If you keep stock in more than one place, there is no number to check. The box says "Each size's count joins into one at every place: its count times the bottles it holds."

What customers see

Customers see

your packs as choices when they open the item. Each one shows its price and a line like "MVR 4.58 each · Save MVR 5". The pack that is picked first is already chosen.

Packs that are Counter only are not on your shop. A pack shows "Sold out" when your count is too low for it. When packs have different prices, your shop page shows the lowest, like "From MVR 5".

Packs at the Counter

On the Counter, the item's tile shows the pack that is picked first. You see its price and name, like "MVR 5 Single".

1. Tap the tile. One Single goes into the sale. The first time, a message says "+1 Single (1 bottle). Tap the number for other packs".
2. To add other packs, tap the green number on the tile. A sheet with the item's name opens. (A sheet is a panel that covers part of the screen.)
3. Tap + next to the pack you want.
4. Tap Done.

To take one off, tap − next to the pack.

At the top of the sheet, a green box shows what is in the sale, like "In this sale: 1 Single = 1 bottle". Under it, it says how many are left, like "39 bottles left after this sale", or "No bottles left". If the item is not counted, it says "Counted in bottles. This item isn't counted."

Each pack shows a line like "12 bottles · MVR 4.58 each · saves MVR 5", and "3 more can go" or "None left". The pack one tap adds says One tap adds this.

The tile then shows what is in the sale, like "1 Single · 1 Pack of 12". In the sale, a pack line shows how much it takes, like "12 bottles". See Make a sale at the Counter.

Your Counter may sell from one place. Then it only adds a pack if that place has enough. If not, the app says, for example, "Only 8 bottles at Back room".

In New stock, pack items get buttons with your pack names, like "+1 Pack of 12". See Add new stock and fix a count.
