Variants

Sizes, colours and flavours. In MC-POS a variant is a separate sellable item with its own barcode, price and stock.

Steps

  1. Open it

    Catalog → Variants.

  2. Define the attribute

    Size, colour, or whatever varies, and its values.

  3. Generate the variants

    MC-POS creates one sellable item per combination.

  4. Give each one its own barcode and price

    A large may cost more than a small. Each variant carries its own price and its own stock count.

Good to know

  • Because a variant is a real sellable item, it has its own stock level. Do not expect the parent product to carry the total.
  • Scan a variant barcode at the POS and the right one is added — the cashier is never asked to choose.
