Not every item is a simple box on a shelf. A **combo** (bundle) is sold as one item but made of other products, like a phone plus a case and charger, or a meal deal. A **service** is something you sell without counting stock, like a repair, a delivery charge or a consultation. This page shows how to set up both.

## Combo products (bundles)

### Before you start

The products that go into the combo must already exist. Add them first with [Add a product](https://docs.smartposhub.com/catalog/add-products/) or the [Product Library](https://docs.smartposhub.com/catalog/product-library/).

1. Open **Products › Add Product** and fill in **Basic info** (name, unit, category).
2. In **Pricing**, set **Product Type** to **Combo**. The note reads: Combo: a bundle sold as one item. Its stock comes from the products inside it.
3. In **Enter Product name / SKU / Scan bar code**, search or scan each item and pick it. It is added to the table with its **Quantity** and **Purchase Price (Excluding Tax)**.
4. Change the **Quantity** of each item if the bundle has more than one (for example 2 × batteries).
5. Check the **Net Total Amount**, then set **x Margin(%)** or type the **Default Selling Price**.
6. In **Stock**, choose the **Business Locations** that sell the combo, then click **Save**.

*Combo: search or scan the items, set quantities, then the margin and selling price.*

### What happens when you sell a combo

- The receipt shows the combo name and price.
- Stock is taken from each item inside, so the shelf count of every part stays right.
- Check the stock of the parts before a promotion: a combo can only be handed over if its parts are on the shelf.

### Combos in the Business app

In the **SmartPOS Business** app choose **Combo / bundle** as the product type. Under **Items in the combo**, tap **Add item** or scan, set the **Qty** and **Unit** for each, and the app shows **Total cost (excl. tax)**.

## Service products (no stock)

Use a service product for anything you charge for but don't count:

1. Open **Products › Add Product** and type the name, for example "Screen replacement labour" or "Home delivery".
2. Choose a unit such as **Pieces** or a time unit (Hour) if you imported one.
3. In **Pricing**, keep **Single** and set the selling price. The purchase price can be 0.
4. In **Stock**, untick **Manage Stock?**. The product never shows as out of stock and needs no purchases.
5. Click **Save**.

**Tip:** 
If you run appointments (salon, spa, clinic, repair desk), the **Services** module adds a full **Services** catalogue with duration, staff and booking. You can even use **Import prebuilt** there to add ready-made services. See [Services module](https://docs.smartposhub.com/modules/services/).

## Digital products

Selling software keys, e-books or downloads? In the product form, the **Digital product** card has **This is a digital product**. Turn it on and add **Files to deliver**, **Or a link**, **Licence keys / codes** (one per line), **Instructions for the buyer** and **Download limits**. Nothing is shipped: after payment the buyer gets the file, link or key on screen and by e-mail.

## Frequently asked questions

### Does a combo product have its own stock?

No. A combo's stock comes from the products inside it. When you sell one combo, each item in it is taken out of stock in the quantity you set.

### How is the combo price worked out?

The form adds up the purchase prices of the items (Net Total Amount), applies the x Margin(%) and fills the Default Selling Price. You can type your own selling price instead.

### How do I add a service like a repair or a haircut?

Add a single product and untick Manage Stock?, so it never runs out. If you use the Services module, add services under Services › Services, which also stores duration and staff.

### Can a combo contain a variant?

Yes. Search or scan the exact variant, for example a phone in 128 GB, and it is added to the combo with its own cost.

### Can I sell a digital product like a licence key?

Yes. Turn on This is a digital product in the Digital product card of the product form and add the files, a link or keys to deliver after payment.
