Sell by weight

A product sold by weight has a price per kilogram, litre or metre. The cashier types how much, the till works out the price, and the line shows the weight.

How to set it up

1. Open the product under Products.
2. Under Price, choose By weight.
3. Under Sold per, pick Kilogram (kg), Litre (l) or Metre (m).
4. Type the price per unit with VAT included, and pick the VAT rate.
5. Save and publish.

A product sold by weight cannot have sizes, and the till does not ask its choices. Make a separate product for each kind, such as "Pick and mix" and "Chocolate pralines".

On the till

1. The button shows the price per unit, such as "189,00 kr/kg".
2. Tap it, or scan its barcode. A box asks for the weight or amount.
3. Type the weight with a decimal comma, for example 0,420 for 420 grams. The till shows what it comes to.
4. Press the add button, which shows the price. One line goes on the order.

The line carries the weight in its name, for example "Pick and mix 0,420 kg × 189,00/kg", so the receipt and the kitchen ticket show it too. The price is rounded to whole öre or cents.

Each weighing is its own line. Weigh a second bag and it becomes a second line.

Good to know

• The till does not read a scale by itself: the cashier types the weight shown on the scale.
• A campaign price works on by-weight products too: it lowers the price per unit at the times you choose. See Campaign prices.
• Guests cannot order by-weight products from their phones.
