With the Commerce feature you will be able to sell your products from one or several points of sale. Users will be able to pay online via Paypal, or to pay in your point of sale or when they are delivered.
Let’s go!
1. Create a point of sale
After having added the feature Commerce to your app, click on to add a point of sale :
Then fill out with your store info:
Then add your delivery options. You can choose from:
- “For here”: meaning that people should come to eat/drink/whatever in the store
- “Carry out”: meaning that people should come to the store to get the product and then leave the store with the product
- “Delivery”: meaning that you are able to deliver them
If you choose “Delivery”, some other options are displayed:
- “Delivery fees”: the cost of the delivery
- “Tax”: indicate your tax in percentage, if zero write “0″, if 10% write “10″.
- “Free delivery starting from”: if you want the delivery to be gratis beyond a certain amount of order
- “Delivery radius”: indicate the area you deliver from your store address, in radius.
- “Minimum order”: if a minimum amount of order is mandatory to deliver a client (When you test your app be sure you’ve reached the minimum amount in your cart, because, if not, the delivery option will not be displayed in your ordering process)
Then add your payment options. If you choose Paypal, you’ll need to do some mandatory operations in your Paypal account, click here to see how you have to set up your Paypal account to enable it in your app. It’s the only online payment solution you can have in your app. “Credit card” is only here to tell users they will be able to pay in the store or to the delivery man with credit card, not within the app.
Save by clicking on .
2. Create categories for your products
Then go in “Catalog” and click on “Categories”:
Click on “+” to add your categories.
A first one is automatically created but won’t be shown to users. It’s your root category and it’s there just to be able to display your own title for the categories page and your own cover image, but this category will not be listed with your very own categories. Select it and click on “+” to add a subcategory (in fact, as the root category is not shown, this new category will be a main category). Add as many categories and subcategories as you need:
3. Create products
Then click on “products” from the main menu in “Catalog”, the products page is displayed:
Click on “+” to add a product. And fill out with your new product info:
You can add some options to this product. By options we mean sizes, sauces, complementary products, etc.
Here is an exemple with some sauces, and then we will see another one about sizes.
First, create a new options group:
If you check “at least one option is required” the user will must choose from the sauces you offer when he orders the product. He will not be able to order without choosing from these options (that’s useful when you have many sizes for a product like we will see next).
Then, in the “Add it options” section, click on “+” to add options to this group of options:
Click on “OK” to save.
Now below in your product details page you can see your options.
It’s the same process for sizes.
Name your options group and check that at least one option is required (thus the client will have to choose a size):
Add options to your group of options:
Click “OK” to save.
Then, in your details product page, check the options for this product and indicate their price.
IMPORTANT: when the user choose the option the price of an option will be added to the product price you’ve indicated above. Meaning that if you sell a product with different sizes, don’t indicate the product main price, it will be the price of your smallest size, like below in “Sizes”:
For example, if there is no product main price and if there are 3 prices for the 3 sizes, and the smallest size price is $3 (and of course if you’ve checked “At least one option is mandatory), the price that will be shown in the app to the user will be “From $3″.
Then check the categories for your product:
And click on “OK” to save your product.
4. Manage
In the “Orders” menu, you will be able to see and manage the orders you receive.
In the “Settings” menu, you will be able to link, for each store, a connected printer to your app to print orders when they arrive, and also to manage your tax rates if you have several:
That’s all! Now your app can sell products!
