Creating products

What will they do?

In this help document we will show you how to make products in your Spont cash register. We do this by first explaining the basics step by step. Then we will go deeper into the extensive product settings for those who want to get the most out of their cash register.

Creating products the basis

Products you create must be able to link to a category. Therefore, you must first have created a category before you can create a product. Click on this link to go to the help document about creating categories.

1. Go to your products

  1. Press the second icon in the dark bar.
  2. Press "products".
  3. Press the plus to add a product.
Once you have done this, you will see the following:

2. Set the mandatory product information

  1. Give the product a name. (1)​​​
  2. Set the sales price and VAT percentage. (2)
  3. Add the corresponding category. (3)

3. Add the comprehensive product information

  1. Add a description to your product (4). This is only important if you use QR codes/web orders.
  2. Add a tag to your product (5) such as chicken/fish/vega
  3. Add a printer at product level (6), usually this happens at category level but if you want this specific product to be printed by another printer it can be set here.
  4. Add a color to the product (7), this color will be seen in the iPad. Spont gives some basic colors but it is also possible to paste a #hex code into the bar below. Use ctrl+c/ctrl+v for this.
  5. Add an image to the product (8). This is only important if you use QR codes/web orders.
  6. Set whether you want to open the dailpad with product details by default on the iPad when the product is tapped (9).
