Overview
The Sell by Weight / Volume feature allows merchants to price products based on their actual measured quantity rather than a fixed price per item. This is ideal for businesses selling items where the final price depends on weight or volume, such as seafood, meat, fruits, or beverages.
Key benefits:
Automatically calculates the final price based on the quantity entered in POS
Supports products sold by weight (e.g., grams, kilograms) or volume (e.g., ml, liters)
Ensures accurate billing at checkout
Clearly displays the measured quantity on orders and receipts for staff, kitchen, and customers
Who is this useful for?
This feature is ideal for merchants who price products based on weight or volume, such as:
Seafood restaurants selling crab, lobster, or fish by weight
Meat shops selling beef, pork, or chicken per kilogram
Beverage stores selling liquids by milliliters or liters
Example
A seafood restaurant sells Chilli Crab at $100 per kilogram.
Configuration example:
Price: $100
Base Quantity: 1000
Unit: g
When a staff member enters 1.2 as the quantity in the POS:
The system calculates: 1.2 × $100 = $120
The quantity displayed becomes 1200 g
The order will appear clearly as:
Chilli Crab (1200 g)
This helps ensure that staff, kitchen staff, and customers all clearly see the product’s exact weight or volume.
