Best video I've seen. Thank you for sharing your knowledge. I am trying to use a combination of options and modifiers, but I can't figure out how to do that. I want my customers to be able to personalize a pet sign with the following prompts: 1. Number of pets 2. Color of the board 3. Color of the text (pet(s) name) 4 . Breed of each pet 5. Name of each pet Thanks in advance.

@appaloosatech 18 күн бұрын

@cchaussee I think what you'd want to do is have Variations for each of a stockable attribute, like if you keep blank signs of different colors in stock, you'd have it setup like this: Option Set: Color Options/Variations: Blue, Red, Green, Etc Modifier Sets: Text Color (picklist), Pet Breed (picklist or textbox), Pet Name (textbox) Let me know if that makes sense or if you have followup questions!

This is awesome!! Thank you so much. Originally, when we set up square incorrectly so I will most likely choose the “overwrite existing data” but also keep the tokens. Will this still give me historical selling data for the items that I will be overwriting? Or, will this data be gone? Trying to figure out the best way to do a mass update with adding variations so that my selling history will remain the same for each item.

@AssuredBookkeeping 2 ай бұрын

@appaloosatech Ай бұрын

@AssuredBookkeeping I believe the reports will keep the historical data if you overwrite, but they won't reflect any changes you made to the items (names, etc). I believe the best option in your case would be to make modifications, you can insert rows below the items you're adding variations for so that it makes sense in your head instead of adding them at the bottom.

This was a great help in understanding Retail variations and the correct use of them. I'm a vendor in a consignment retail shop. The previous owners that set up the Square Retail set up the Vendors as "Items". The new owners are trying to SKU items & track inventory by vendor, and have created "Variations" under each of us. (Variation Ex: Towel, Hand/Design Name; Towel, Fingertip/Design Name) The problem is that they do not know how to generate reporting / export this data SORTED to EXCEL so that we can restock our "base" to the minimums on hand we have agreed. Right now I literally have 10 pages of items that are not in any kind of order, in PDF with item names and counts separated on 2 lines in 1 colum which doesn't make sense. If they try to "sort" by column, it sorts all the counts at the top, and the separate item names at the bottom....useless. I use regular square on my device, and am not familiar with RETAIL version. Is there a video or something you can point us to that explains how to generate that excel reporting if it exists? It would relieve a LOT of headaches and wasted time for everyone. Thks.

This video is amazingly helpful. You lay it out so clearly. One question though... I have Square for Restaurants for my coffee shop because my modifies look a little different. It looks like I can only require the modifier or not require it. How do I go about requiring customers select, for example, 2 of the modifiers? Also, in a list of 20 modifiers how do I set a max of 3?

@appaloosatech Ай бұрын

@grantcieslak7727 Go into the item, go to the "Modifiers" section, then click the 3 dots next to the modifier set you'd like to customize, click "Customize". Here you can set the minimum required, the maximum allowed, preselect them, set their Square Online visibility, hide them on customer receipts, and apply the customizations to other items. I hope this helps!

What if I don't want the price to decrease, only increase? For example, they just want the sandwich with no toppings. Allergy, let's say. Hold the whatever. I still want it to show the full price, and only change if the price INCREASES. That doesn't seem possible. Also, seeing the price drop when you first remove the modifier, even though adding another is required to get back to full price, is psychologically disturbing for a customer. They will feel ripped off when they realize 5.95 is technically an option, except they're being FORCED to order a side. Being able to just say 'ok, you don't want a side? Sure. It's still the full price' would be great.

@appaloosatech Ай бұрын

@theCurteye If you're just wanting to do this with a side, I'd recommend just having a modifier within the side set that's "No Side", but it does get tricky if we're talking about customizations to a sandwich since there's so many. What I've done in the past with sandwich shops is have 2 modifier sets, 1 for things to add to the sandwich (all your topping options, including ones that cost extra), and 1 for removing things (this one is created per item). There's honestly a lot of ways to set it up and it's just a matter of finding what works for your customers and your order flow, so just try something out, and if it doesn't work for you just change it. I hope this helps!

Hello, I have an online clothing boutique and I want to offer clothing sets and allow the customer to choose the sizes for their tops and bottoms. If I use modifiers I cannot track the inventory therefore someone could order a top in 1x and a bottom in 2x when one of them are not in stock/sold out. If I use options and variations, how do I make it so they have to choose both a top and a bottom?

@appaloosatech 2 ай бұрын

@ambrosiajohnson1141 This is really interesting. I think your best bet is to use an automatic discount when someone purchases both a top and a bottom, then you can promote it as "buy a top and bottom, get X discount". I'll put on my list to make a video going over automatic discounts in the near future.

@appaloosatech 2 ай бұрын

@Skiesyourlimit What I've done in the past is use a text modifier. What you do is create a modifier set and select the type Text while doing this, then apply that modifier set to the items you want to collect that information for. Does that make sense? I didn't go over text modifiers in this video unfortunately, but I'll make a separate video in the near future going over them.

How do I do separate rates for certain items, like I want to do free uk shipping but I can't do afford to do that for australia, so how would I have an item with two rates?

@appaloosatech 2 ай бұрын

@ClaireFrances You would separate this at the Shipping Profile level. What you would do is create 2 (or more) shipping profiles. Profile 1: UK (apply to all items) P1 Rate: Free shipping Profile 2: Australia (apply to all items) P1 Rate: Flat rate, weight based, live calculated, anything you want. The only limitation is that when we apply a rate to only certain items, those certain items only fall into that one rate, so we can't have an item that falls into multiple custom rates, but we can have as many geographical separations as we want as long as each shipping profile applies to all items. Does this make sense?

I own a thrift store and use colored tags. I need to set it up to do colored tag discounts at certain times. Week one is all pink tags, week two is blue, and so on. I need to set up discounts on pink at 25% off for week 1, at week 2 ....50% off, week 3... 75%. How do i color code it and how do i create a sale for all 10,000 items of a specific color tag. Im lost and confused.

@appaloosatech 5 ай бұрын

@2nd2nothing51 @zoepearce1445 So with automatic discounts the only ways to target are by item, category, quantity, customer group, then by date (a specific date range), and days of the week. With that in mind, here's the assumptions I'm going to make about your setup: 1. You have 4 colors of tags (it'll still work with more of course). 2. You have categories for each color (Pink, Red, Green, Blue). 3. You have items in the category according to the price of the item (Pink $1, Pink $2, etc) 3.1 OR you have a top level item for each color, then variations with each price. So with these assumptions, I'd recommend setting it up like this: - Create 3 automatic discounts for each color (Pink 25%, Pink 50%, Pink 75%, etc). - Set these automatic discounts to apply for the specific dates of the week they should apply (week 1, 2, or 3). - Each time a new set of items or color is introduced into the store, update that color's automatic discount dates according to the schedule. Does this make sense? Let me know if you have any questions or if my assumptions were wrong!
