Price Categories

Price categories allow creating multiple pricing for the individual item. For example, Item: Coke Cola's store price is $1 but its online price is $1.5. In this scenario, the price category is used to create multiple pricing.

Types of Price categories

Base Price category: Allows creating multiple pricing for the individual item

Time Based Price category: We could create the multiple item pricing for a particular time period. This pricing will apply only for the period of time.

1. Base Price category

Navigation: POS Backend → Items → Price Categories



Step 1: Click Create Price Category button. The “Create Price Category” pop opens.



Step 2: Fill the necessary details and Click Save.

Type*: Base Price/Time Based Price (Base Price in this scenario)

Name*: Unique name for the price category. For example "Take Away".

Value Type*: Choose from the drop-down,

Fixed: Fixed value to increment/decrement on Selling Price. In our example Selling Price is 90, so the online value will be 90 + 5 = 95
Percentage: Percentage of value to increment/decrement on Selling Price. In our example Selling Price is 90, so the online value will be 90 + 4.5 (5% of 90) = 94.5

Value*: The value to be increment/decrement on Selling Price. A positive value for increment and a negative value for decrement. In our example, the value is 5.

Taxes: Taxes can also be configured for "Take Away" sales. If no tax is associated, the item will be sold without any tax.

Labels: Additional information printed in the bill. For example, we have given Label “Platform Name”, while billing the user will be prompted to enter data. Since this product is sold online, the user can enter Amazon, eBay for reference to represent where this product is sold.
