How to Enable Open Price (Custom Price at Checkout) for a Product

Open Price lets your staff key in a custom price for a product each time it is added to an order on Qashier POS, instead of charging the product's set price. Use it for items whose price changes from sale to sale, such as market-priced seafood or made-to-order services.

Applies to: All markets · Qashier POS and QashierHQ · Editing products on the POS may ask for the Terminal PIN.

Before you start

  • Open Price and Member Price cannot be used on the same product. Turning on Open Price turns off Member Price for that product.

  • Open Price is not available for products in Colour/Size (retail) categories. See How to Create Products with Colour and Size Variants in QashierHQ (Retail).

  • Open Price is not available in kiosk (self-ordering) mode. Customers who order on a kiosk are charged the product's set price.

Enable Open Price in QashierHQ

  1. Log in to QashierHQ. In the left sidebar, open Products & Inventory and select Product Management.

  2. Select the store, then the tab and category that hold the product. Click the product to open the Edit Product window.

  3. Scroll down and tick Allow Open Price. If the product has Member Price turned on, QashierHQ warns you that enabling Open Price will disable Member Price. Click OK to continue.

  4. Click Confirm to save.

Enable Open Price on Qashier POS

  1. On the POS home screen, tap the menu button (three horizontal lines) at the top right.

  2. Tap Manage Products.

  3. If the POS asks for it, enter the Terminal PIN.

  4. If you see a POS Products option, tap it. This screen appears only when QashierEats, GrabFood or foodpanda is enabled for your store. Otherwise, go straight to the next step.

  5. Select the tab and category that hold the product.

  6. Tap the product.

  7. Scroll down, tick Allow Open Price, then tap Confirm to save. If Member Price is ticked for the product, ticking Allow Open Price unticks it.

Use Open Price when selling

  1. On the POS sales screen, select the tab and category, then tap the product that has Open Price enabled.

  2. In the product window, key in the price in the Customized Price (per item) field. For products sold by unit (weight or volume), the field is Customized Price (per unit). Leave the field blank to charge the product's normal price.

  3. Adjust the quantity if needed, then continue with the order and payment as usual.
