Create and configure a variable price item
Hello, everyone! Today, we're going to look at how to create an item with a variable price in your POS system.
What is a variable-price item?
This is an item with no fixed price. The price is entered at the time of clocking in, allowing it to be modified according to the context.
Example :
- I am selling a glass of white wine for 5€.
- For another customer, the same glass can be sold for 7€.
👉 The price is adjusted manually with each sale.
