Chain Store Management links all the stores in your Qashier account so they share one product list, one ingredient list and consolidated reports, while each store keeps its own stock quantities. This article explains what is shared, what stays per store, and where to find the multi-store tools in QashierHQ.
Applies to: All markets · QashierHQ (with Qashier POS for stock requests) · accounts with two or more stores.
Before you start
Chain Store Management is not a setting you can switch on yourself in QashierHQ. To turn it on for an account with two or more stores, contact Qashier Support.
If your stores already have separate product lists, check with support how the lists will be combined before it is switched on.
For stock transfers, Inventory Management must be on for the stores involved.
What is shared across all stores
Products. You create a product once and it appears in every store. In Product Management, QashierHQ shows the note "Chain Shop Management is currently enabled. Products will be shared across all stores."
Ingredients and their assignments. Ingredient names, units and deduct ratios are shared. See How Ingredient Management Works with Chain Store Management (Multi-Store).
Stock requests and transfers. Outlets can request stock on the POS, and HQ can transfer stock between stores. See How to Request and Transfer Stock Between Stores (Chain Stores).
Consolidated reports. See the steps below.
What stays separate per store
Stock quantities. Each store has its own inventory count and its own ingredient quantities. A sale in one store deducts stock in that store only.
Inventory settings, such as low stock email alerts and the Stock Request Number Prefix:, are set per store under Settings > Inventory > Inventory Management.

Add the products, enter the Send Qty for each, and click Confirm.
The button appears only when at least two stores can take part. Stores that sync inventory with Shopify or WooCommerce cannot send or receive transfers. The full steps, including stock requests from the POS and receiving stock, are in How to Request and Transfer Stock Between Stores (Chain Stores).
