If you need to sell some of your products based on weight rather than on a per-unit basis, you can set up your store to sell weighted goods by creating a weighted product.

Weight and dimension product information from WooCommerce, BigCommerce, and Shopify does not sync to Retail POS.

Creating a weighted product

While creating a product, you will need to specify the price per unit of measure rather than setting the supply and retail price per individual item.

To specify the price per unit:

1. Navigate to Products > Add product.
2. Name your product. You can add the unit of measure in the product name or product description.

3. Add other information to the product description, category, or tags.

   

4. Add the supplier information and price of the product based on weight. You can also add any inventory by weight already in stock, or refer to the next section to order stock by weight.

   

5. Add pricing and loyalty information.

   

6. Click Save.

Ordering by weight

Order stock following the instructions in Creating a purchase order, adding the stock by weight rather than per unit. For example, you want to order 10kg of coffee beans, you'll order 10 x "1kg coffee beans" product.

Selling by weight

To sell a product by weight:

1. Start a sale and add your weighted product.

2. Change the Quantity sold to the weight listed on your scales. For example, if you are selling 1.85kg of coffee beans, click the "1kg coffee beans" product in the sale line and change the quantity to 1.85. This will automatically adjust the price to the amount equal to the 1.85kg worth of coffee beans, in this case, $46.25 worth of coffee beans at $25 per kg.

   

3. Complete the sale as usual.
