Sell an item at a variable price

Some things are the same product every time but not the same price: goods sold by
weight, a made-to-order platter, a bottle chosen from the shelf. An item can be set
up to ask for the price when it is sold.

Selling one

A variable-price item looks like any other on the till, except it shows no price.

Tap it and the till asks. Type the price on the Enter price keypad and tap
Add.

It joins the basket like any other line, at the price you typed.

How you type the amount is a shop setting. Either you type it as written, with a
comma before the øre, or the keypad fills from the right in øre, so 1, 5, 0 is
DKK 1.50, not DKK 150. Check the basket line before taking payment - an item
with no fixed price has nothing to check the typed figure against.

Setting an item up this way

Open Shop → Product catalogs → Items Library, select the item, and on its
Price tab turn on Variable price - price is set at the time of sale. That
is the switch that makes the till ask.

The same tab carries Different price by order type, for an item that has a fixed
price but a different one eaten in and taken away. Use that rather than a variable
price when the amounts are known - a cashier typing a price they could have been
given is a mistake waiting to happen.

Give it a name that tells the cashier what to charge for - Cheese by 100g is
better than Cheese, because the person typing the price is deciding what the
customer pays.
