Units of Measurement
Specify your own custom units of measurement and decimal quantities
Not all products are sold using standard stock quantities which is why we’ve created a set of options that enable you to account for every grain, inch, bean, bead, gram, pound, kilogram, square meter or yard of your inventory.
Sell products that use decimal quantities and custom units of measurement, for example, items sold by length, weight, capacity (volume) and time. View custom units and decimal quantities within the FooSales POS apps for in-person sales as well as on your WooCommerce website for online customers.
- Specify the minimum and maximum quantity that can be added to the cart for a particular product.
- Specify the increments that a particular product can be increased or decreased in the cart.
- Specify the unit of measurement used for a product's quantity e.g. kg, lb, mm, inches etc.
