Combo bundles and service products

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 or the 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.

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.
