PlanIt EPOS · Products, Suppliers & Price Lists

Set your margins and selling prices

What does this do?

Each product carries the cost you pay and two margins. The till turns them into a trade selling price and a retail selling price, so the right price comes up depending on who is buying.

How to use it

  1. Open the product from ☰ menu → Products.
  2. Enter the Supplier cost (what you pay, per m² or per unit). This used to be called the trade cost.
  3. Set the Trade margin % for trade customers. The Trade selling price updates as you type.
  4. Set the Retail margin % for the public. The Retail selling price updates the same way.
  5. If you would rather fix a price, type it straight into the selling price box.
  6. Press Save product.

The default VAT rate is applied to new products and sales, and the default trade and retail margins set the selling price of any product you add without typing one. You can also re-apply the margins to every product already in the catalogue.

Recalculate every selling price from your margins

One button re-applies margins to the trade, retail and roll selling prices of every product already on the system. Cost prices are never touched, and nothing needs re-importing.

Add or edit a product

Products are what the till sells. Add each one with its supplier, cost and margins and it appears in the product search on the till, on quotes and in stock. Edit it any time from the Product database.
