Sell loose goods by weight

Price rice, dal, sugar or oil per kilo and let customers pick an amount.

A kirana does not sell "one rice". It sells a kilo and a half. Mark a product as sold by weight and the price becomes a rate.

A by-weight product on the storefront with an amount picker
What the shopper sees: a rate per kg, and an amount to choose.
  1. Edit the product and under How it's sold choose By weight.
  2. Pick the unit: kilogram, pound, gram, litre or millilitre. The price field becomes "price per kg", or per pound, or whichever you picked.
  3. Enter the rate, for example 140 per kg.

Your storefront then quotes the rate ("NPR 140 / kg"). Add on the shelf opens the amount chips in a sheet, see When Add asks the shopper to choose. The product page still asks for an amount if they open it: quick amounts to tap, and a stepper for anything in between. The shopper sees a running subtotal, and the bag shows "2.25 kg" with the right total.

At the counter

On the counter, a by-weight item asks for the scale reading. Weigh the bag, type what the scale says (1.35), and the line prices itself. The receipt reads "1.35 kg" rather than a count, and so does the order on your board.

On by default for grocery shops and bakeries; any shop selling loose can turn it on under Shop profile, "What this shop does". Items sold by the piece are unaffected.

  1. When Add asks the shopper to chooseAdd opens a sheet on every product: the photo, the price, and any size, colour or weight to choose. Nothing is bagged until they press Add to bag.
  2. Manage your catalogAdd products, photos, prices, and take items off the shelf when you are out of stock.
  3. Feature a product on your shopStar the ones you want seen and they get their own shelf at the top of your shop.
