Grid or table

Grid shows each product as a tile: its picture, name and price. Tap a tile to add one to the cart. A product with options shows … options and opens its variations instead. Table shows the same products as rows, with a + at the end of each row to add it.

A new device starts on Grid, four tiles across. The grid or table button beside the search field switches between the two without opening the settings.

Once a product is in the cart, its tile shows how many in a small circle in the corner. On a row the number takes the place of the +, and tapping it adds one more.

Browse by

What the panel opens on:

Choice	The panel opens on
All products	every product, in the sort order
Categories	one tile per top-level category. Where a new device starts
Tags	one tile per tag
Brands	one tile per brand
Shortcuts	one tile per quick filter

Each choice shows how many it has, such as 6 categories. One with nothing in it is dimmed and says so, such as No brands yet.

1. Categories — the breadcrumb. Tap any step in it to go back up.
2. Back arrow — on the tile of the category you're in. Tap the tile to go back one level.
3. A sub-category — how many products it holds. Tap it to go in.
4. A product — tap it to add it to the cart, as anywhere in the panel.
5. 3 categories · Showing 20 of 43 — what this level holds: its sub-categories, and how many of its products are on screen.

Tap a tile to go in. A category shows its sub-categories, its products, or both, as it's set up in WooCommerce. At the top level, an All products tile comes first. A search, or a filter on the same thing you browse by, shows the matching products in place of the tiles.

2. Watches — the level you're on. Tap Gear or Categories to go back up.

To go back a level, tap the breadcrumb, press Escape on a keyboard, swipe in from the left edge of a touch screen, or use the back button on Android. On a phone the breadcrumb shows only the level above, with a back arrow.

In Table, the same levels show as rows, each with its count and an arrow.

Out-of-stock products

Show out-of-stock products is off on a new device. Off, out-of-stock products are hidden and a scan of one is refused. On, they stay in the list, greyed out and marked Sold out, and the In Stock filter starts switched off.

If your store has Prevent Overselling on, the POS also checks stock as you add:

• … out of stock or Only … available for … — the product isn't added.
• Stock for … hasn't loaded on this device yet — the product's stock is still downloading. Try again in a moment.
• … will be backordered — the product is added. It's set to allow backorders and notify the customer.

Sort

Sort By picks the order: Name, SKU, Barcode, Type, Price, Date Created, Date Modified, Popularity, Stock Quantity, Stock Status or Menu Order. Popularity is total sales, best sellers first when Descending. Menu Order is the order set on each product in WooCommerce. A new device sorts by Name, Ascending.

In Table you can also tap a column heading to sort by it. That changes Sort By here too.

Your own filter buttons

A quick filter is one button that applies several conditions at once, such as On sale in the Shoes category, sorted by price. Make one from what's on screen or from scratch. Your quick filters can also be the first thing the panel shows: set Browse by to Shortcuts.

• Start from scratch
• Change a quick filter
• Delete a quick filter

Save what's on screen

1. Button name — what the button says on the bar.
2. Keeps what is on screen now — tick the conditions to keep. Inside a category, that category and its sub-categories are one of them. A search is left unticked unless you tick it.
3. Add to bar — puts the button on the bar.

Under the ticks it says how many products match on this device. Cancel closes it without adding anything.

Start from scratch

For example, a button for the shoes on sale:

1. In Customise filter bar, press Add quick filter.
2. Pick On sale in a category. Other starting points are A category, Under a price, Best sellers, New arrivals, Low stock and A tag. To pick nothing, press Start from scratch.
3. Under Button name, type a name, such as Sale shoes.
4. Under Show products that are…, On sale is already set. In category says Choose…: tap it and pick Shoes.
5. Under Then, press Order by and pick Price, low to high. Left alone, it keeps The grid's usual order.
6. Press Add to bar. It stays greyed out until the button has a name and every condition is chosen.

After steps 3 and 4, before a category is picked:

1. Button name — what the button says. On the bar shows how it will look.
2. In category — says Choose… until you pick one. On sale below it already says Yes. Then and Order by are further down.

Change a quick filter

To change a quick filter, press and hold it on the bar and choose Edit, or tap it in Customise filter bar. Changes save as you make them.

Delete a quick filter

Press and hold it on the bar and choose Remove from bar, or open it in Customise filter bar and press Remove from bar at the foot. Confirm with Delete. A quick filter can't be switched off and kept: removing it deletes it.

Start again

Restore Default Settings, at the foot of Product settings, puts every setting here back to where a new device starts: Grid, four tiles across, Categories, sorted by Name, and the six standard filters on the bar. It asks nothing first.

경고

Restore Default Settings also deletes your quick filters on this device, because they belong to the filter bar.

The panel's footer
