  2. Select the product you want to sell by measure (e.g. “Wine Bottle”).

2. Choose Your Selling Approach

Scroll to the Sold by section and pick one of two methods:

  • Weight/Volume – Sell each unit by a precise metric amount (grams, milliliters, meters).
  • Composite item – Define a serving size as a small bundle of your base unit (e.g. a glass from a bottle).

3. Configure Details for Each Method

  1. Sold by: Weight/Volume
  2. Metric: Select from Gram, Kilo, Milliliter, Liter, Millimeter, or Meter.

  2. Under Composed from other items, add your base unit (e.g. Red Wine Bottle).
  3. Enter Quantity as a fraction (e.g. 0.2 for 150 ml of a 750 ml bottle).

4. Set Shop-Specific Pricing

  • Under Stores details, check each location offering this item.
  • Enter a Price (per sale unit or per bundle) for each store; leave blank to dynamically setting the price.

5. Save & Test in POS

  • Click Save (or Update).
  • In POS (Optional):
    • Weight/Volume mode prompts for the quantity (e.g. “150 ml”).
