Setting up items in Loyverse

[jdonkoh]

How do I sell products that do not have individual prices but are sold in boxes? Since the product comes in many flavors, customers are always open to choosing the flavors that suit them. Depending on the number of different flavors a customer prefers, a box of 2, 6, 12, 24, among others, is created with a price tag for each box. For instance, a box of 2 is sold at $20, among others. How do I set this product up in the back office of Loyverse so that sales associates can easily select the type of box the customer wants to buy and quickly add the flavors of their choice, and charge?

You can use the composite item for this.

To set it up, you can create a individual item for per piece and add it as a component of the item that is per box. 

For example: 

Box #2 contains 10pcs of mango candy

To set this up

1. You need to create a mango cany (per peice) -> set up the price and cost per piece.
2. Activate the track stock feature and add the stocks of individual piece. For ex. you have 3 boxes of mango candy, on the stock section, you can add 30 since per box contains 10 pieces
3. Create a new item for the candy box (per box with 10pcs) -> activate the composite toggle and add the 'per piece' as its component then on the quantity, put the number of items per box (10pcs) 
4. After adding the quantity, the cost will be automatically calculated based on the 'per piece' item.

With his set up, you can track the stock of both per individual and per box. After selling the 'per box' item, the stocks will deduct 10pcs on individual item as well. For ex. you have 30pcs of individual quantity but if you sold 1 box from the app, the stocks will deduct 10pcs since per box, if you will check, the stocks should be 20pcs.
