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, gram, litre or millilitre. The price field becomes "price per kg".
  3. Enter the rate, for example 140 per kg.

Your storefront then quotes the rate ("NPR 140 / kg") and the product page asks for an amount: 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 till, 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; any shop selling loose can turn it on under Settings, "What this shop does". Items sold by the piece are unaffected.
