A configuration is one version of a product — a size, a color, or any other
option you sell it in separately. Every product starts with one, called
Configuration #1. If you only sell it one way, leave its name as
"Default" — that's enough. Add more to offer different options, give a
discount for buying in bulk, and track how much of each one you have.

See Create a product for the rest of a product's
details — this article covers the configurations underneath it.

From here, you can:

• Add a configuration for each size, color or option
• Give a discount for buying more at once
• Price a configuration by weight or volume instead of a count
• Track inventory separately for each configuration
• Choose the right one while ringing up a sale in Point of Sale
• Remove a configuration you no longer need

Add a configuration for each option

A cheese sold whole, by the half and by the quarter is three configurations.

1. Open the product.

   

2. Click Add configuration, below the last one.

   

3. The first time, a window asks if you're sure. Click Add Configuration
   to confirm.

   

4. Fill in a Name for it, like "Half Wheel". Customers see this name, so
   use one they would recognize.

5. Fill in its Price, and anything else that's different from the
   others.

   

6. Click Save.

Click Add configuration again for each extra option.

Give a bulk discount

Give one configuration a cheaper price for buying more of it, the same way
Set prices for a product explains — just on
a single configuration instead of the whole product.

1. Open the product and click Add price tier, below the configuration's
   price.

   

2. If it's the configuration's first price tier, a window explains how a
   price tier works, with an example. Click Add Price Tier to confirm.

   

3. Fill in the new tier's Price and Included units — how many have
   to be bought to get that price. Price per-unit works itself out, so
   you can check it against the tier below.

   

Price a configuration by weight or volume

A configuration priced by weight or volume — like cheese sold By the
Pound — charges for however much a customer takes, instead of a fixed
count.

1. Open the product.

2. On the configuration, set Measurement to Weight or Volume.

3. A window warns that this is for a variable amount, like meat, produce or
   a large liquid. Click Change to weight (or Change to volume) to
   confirm.

4. Fill in Price, choose a Units like Pound, and fill in Size —
   how much one unit covers.

   

Track inventory for a configuration

Each configuration tracks its own stock, so if one sells out, the others
can still be sold.

1. Open the product.

2. On the configuration, turn on Track Inventory.

3. Fill in Available with how many you have. It starts at zero until you
   do.

   

4. Click Save.

   

Choose a configuration in Point of Sale

On your phone or tablet, Point of Sale asks which configuration you mean
before it goes in the cart.

1. In your cart, tap Add product.

   

2. Tap the product you want to sell.

   

3. Tap the configuration you want — for example, the size.

   

4. A plain count, like Quarter Wheel, is added straight away at its regular
   price.

   

5. One priced by weight or volume, like By the Pound, asks for the
   Amount first. Fill it in and tap Add.

   

   

Remove a configuration

1. Open the product.

2. Click Delete on the configuration.

   

3. A window asks you to confirm. Click Delete.

   

A product needs at least one configuration, so Delete doesn't appear on
its last one.
