Frequently asked questions
Can one dress have several sizes and colors?
Yes. Make it a variable product. Each size (and color) is a variant with its own barcode, price, stock and photo. You can also keep each colorway as its own product with only sizes as variants.
Can each color show its own photo?
Yes. Every variant has Variation Images. The right photo shows in the POS, on your website and in the SmartPOS Shopper app.
Do I have to build size charts myself?
No. Products › Size charts › Import prebuilt has ready-made charts for women, men, kids, shoes, lingerie, accessories, South Asian and Middle Eastern wear. You attach them to categories or brands.
Can I print price tags with the size on them?
Yes. Products › Print Labels prints one label per variant with the product name, the size or color, the price and the barcode.
How do exchanges work?
Turn on return outcomes in Sell › Return settings and allow Exchange. The returned value becomes store credit and pays for the new item at the POS.
Can a customer get store credit instead of cash back?
Yes. Choose Store credit as the outcome when you take the return. The value goes on the customer's balance and pays for a later sale. A named customer is needed.
How do I run an end-of-season sale?
Add a discount in Sell › Discounts for a category or brand, with start and end dates. It applies automatically in the POS and, if you choose, on your website with the old price crossed out.
Can I sell online too?
Yes. The Website module gives you an online store, shop widgets for any website and the SmartPOS Shopper app, all using the same products and stock as the shop.
Can I run two stores?
Yes. Each store is a location with its own stock and receipts. Move sizes between stores with stock transfers.
Can I book fittings and styling appointments?
Yes, with the Services module. Add services such as a bridal fitting with duration, price and stylist, and customers can book them online.
