Getting Started
Below is an example of creating a container “product” that will be assigned to the product you wish to sell in that quantity under the container section. In this example we create a 4 pack container product and then attach it to the Red Bull product so that if we use either the container conversion or the container mode icon we can sell this at the price we assigned it at the 4 pack quantity.
Convert Single Item to Container by Capacity
We recommend using the Convert Single Item to Container by Capacity function for businesses that frequently deal with products in multiple container sizes. This function allows you to quickly convert a single item into its container size based on capacity, making it ideal for managing inventory and sales efficiently.

- In the Button Configurations section, add a new button.
- Type ‘container’ in the function text field.
- Select ‘Convert Single Item to Container by Capacity’ from the function list.

- Using the Function:
- When you have a product that can be sold in different container sizes, simply enter the desired container capacity on the POS.
