Miscellaneous products and customisable products
A miscellaneous product is a generic product whose price and label can be defined at each sale at the POS (and printed on the receipt).
However, this information will not be saved in the product record.
Some examples: unlisted item from a previous collection, item whose weight varies, fabric offcuts, ...
Creating a miscellaneous product
In the PrestaShop back office, create a new product with the following characteristics:
- a reference starting with DIV (in uppercase)
- a large stock quantity
- a selling price of 0
- an appropriate VAT rate
- in the Options tab, a visibility set to "Nowhere" (so it is not visible online).
Our example: creation of a "Fabric offcuts" product, whose price and material will be entered at the time of purchase.
Selling a miscellaneous product
- Add the miscellaneous product to the cart
- Optionally modify its name and enter its price.
- Process payment as normal.
The information entered appears on the receipt.
Stock transfer (only if the Stock per store module is installed): the 2nd dropdown allows you to choose another store to transfer stock to.
The dropdown lists and allow you to choose the labels that will be associated respectively with outgoing and incoming stock movements (this is for information purposes only).
The button allows you to clear the list of displayed products (no stock movement is performed).
The action of the button is described in our "CSV Imports" tutorial.
Creating a customisable product
In the PrestaShop back office, in the Options tab, Customisation:
- Add a customisation field and choose the type Text
- Make it mandatory or not (Required button checked or not)
Example: sale of a customised t-shirt with a text
Selling a customisable product at the POS
Once the product is added to the cart, the text field must be filled in.
This text appears on the receipt.
Please note: a miscellaneous product can also be customisable.
