When creating a product at the cash register, only the basic properties are displayed. To view all the properties of the new product, you need to save it and open it again. If you reopen the record of an already created product at the cash register, the individual product properties listed below will be divided into these tabs:
|
You can also manage products on the cash register via the Dotypos cloud web interface. |
Basic info
Name |
Enter the product name under which it will be displayed on the cash registers. |
Alternative name |
An optional product name that (if filled in) is printed on receipts or kitchen orders instead of the standard name. To print it on kitchen orders, you must edit the corresponding print task. Optionally, its use on generated documents such as invoices can be activated in the payment settings. The alternative name will also be displayed on the customer display. |
Select the category to which the product will belong. |
|
Display in Selection |
If you disable this option, the product will not be displayed on the cash registers. It will not be shown on the main screen in the product overview. This is useful, for example, if you need to temporarily hide a product and start selling it again later. Hiding different products for individual cash registers is possible in the visibility settings in the Dotypos cloud. |
Creates a shortcut of the product in the selected category. |
Distinguishing products by text tags. You can enter several tags for one product. |
|
Write possible product variants in this field (e.g. steak medium). At payment, you will be able to select the variant and it will also be printed as text on the receipt. |
|
Product description used for product information (ingredients, manufacturer, variant, legal information such as allergens, etc.). This description is printed on the receipt by default. |
|
A detailed public description of the product intended e.g. for the product description in the menu for ordering services. This description is neither printed on the receipt nor displayed to the staff. |
|

Packaging and units |
|
|---|---|
Packaging and units |
Quantity of the product in the sold package. Tap Pieces to change the packaging units. For weighed products, the unit should be set to Kilograms. |
Stock |
|
|---|---|
Deduct from Inventory |
If you disable this option, the product will not be deducted from the stock. You can also choose whether you want to sell the goods even if they are not in stock, or just display a warning. You can specify when Dotypos should deduct items from stock, either when parking the order or only when making the sale (closing the order), in this setting. |
This option marks a product that is manufactured in the establishment. An item marked this way is not deducted when sold, but only when manufactured. You can easily manufacture items in the Warehouse application. |
|
Joint sale |
If you insert the product as an ingredient of another sales product and enable Joint sale for the product in the ingredients, the ingredient product will be billed together with the sales product when sold. |
Allow sale of item as takeaway |
Allows takeaway sales for this product. For takeaway sales, you can set a common default rate or select your own VAT rate. You can find more information about this function in this chapter. |
Default course |
Select which course the product will belong to. |
Preparation duration |
Custom preparation time applied for the ordering system with a kitchen display and an optional order status screen. |
Enter the EAN and PLU code in these fields or scan it using the connected barcode scanner. The cash register checks whether a product with the entered code already exists in the cash register. If it does, the line turns red and a warning is displayed. Using the displayed buttons, you can scan the code with the built-in camera of the device. By tapping Weighted EAN, you can enter the prefix and PLU of the weighted code; zeros for the remaining characters will be filled in automatically after saving. |
|
This item is a returnable container |
By checking this option, the product will be marked as a returnable container. It will then be possible to select it for joint sale with a sales product that is sold with a returnable (deposit) container. More about returnable containers can be found in this chapter. |
Container sold with the item |
For a product that is sold together with a returnable container, select the specific returnable container here. When sold, this returnable container will be billed together with the sales product, e.g. a bottle priced at EUR 0.15. |
Enter the age limitation that applies to the product. After the product is added to the order or before payment, the staff can thus be informed that the age of the customer must be verified. You specify this behavior in the general cash register settings. |
|
If activated, the product cannot be sold outside the time interval allowed and defined in the general cash register settings. |
|
When this option is checked, the product will not be fiscalized when sold. |
|
If you want the product to be recorded to another subject, check the option Sell this item on behalf of and select from the list the subject that you added in advance in the Sell by proxy settings. When issuing the order, a note will then be displayed in the payment dialog that the receipt for this product will be issued by proxy. A figure icon symbolizing the sale by proxy will also appear on the product tile.  |
|
Price
Prices |
|
|---|---|
Per unit / For packaging |
Select whether the final product price will be for the set packaging or for the pieces sold. This is useful when you need to record the sales item in liters, but the sales packaging is e.g. 0.3 l. Just set the packaging and units to 0.3 liters and then select the price per packaging, e.g. EUR 1.50. So before entering the price you do not have to recalculate the amount to EUR 5.00, which corresponds to one liter of the beverage sold. |
Price w/o VAT |
Product price excluding VAT. This option is not visible if you activated the option I am not a VAT payer. A customer who is not a VAT payer only enters one final sales price and does not deal with VAT rates. |
VAT |
Select the VAT rate to be charged. |
Price inc. VAT |
The price including VAT will be calculated automatically from the entered price excluding VAT and the VAT rate. |
Use / delete price levels |
Using price levels gives you the option to enter up to 4 additional prices for a product. You then select a specific price from the entered levels during the sale. More information here. |
On Sale |
When this option is active, you can enter the current discount off the regular price in the field in front of the % sign, which will be applied during the sale. |
Don't apply order sales |
When this option is active, a possible discount on the whole order will never be applied to this product. |
Always ask for price |
Enabling this option requires the price to be always entered when selling the product. Once the product is added to the order, a dialog window with the PRICE tab and a numeric keypad will be displayed. This option is useful for the direct sale of goods for which you do not want to have a uniform final price set. |
Enabling this option requires the quantity to be always entered when selling the product. Once the product is added to the order, a dialog window with the QUANTITY tab and a numeric keypad will be displayed. This option is useful for the direct sale of weighed goods (bakeries, butcher shops, etc.). |
|
If the product is billed based on time, Dotypos will automatically calculate the price depending on the time and the set units while the order is parked. This applies e.g. to the sale of services. |
|
Bonus points |
|
|---|---|
Enter the number of points that will be added to the customer account after the product is purchased. |

Price plan
Here you can see all the price promotions set for the product. You create price promotions via the Dotypos cloud. For the procedure for creating temporary price promotions, see this chapter.

The Warehouses tab shows all the warehouses from which the product is currently drawn. Tap the Transactions history button to move to the product card in the Warehouse application and display the stock movements.

Here you can add categories with other items to the given product, which can then be billed together with the given product. This is useful e.g. for ordering extra pizza toppings or a product for free, etc. Detailed information about these options can be found in the chapter Customizations.
Ingredients
» Available only in Dotypos FULL and higher. « |
|---|
On this tab, you define the deduction of raw materials for the product you are in. For more information, see the chapter Ingredients.
Select the allergens the product contains by ticking them. The list of allergens of a specific product can then be displayed by long tapping the product tile on the main screen. Allergens are also displayed in the menu for ordering services. You can assign allergens to multiple products in bulk using the Bulk editing function in the Dotypos cloud.
Price tag
Here you set the unit packaging (number) and the unit of measure (pieces) for printing product price tags on a standard receipt printer. For more information, see the chapter Printing price tags.
Portion
The Portion tab displays an overview of all created portions, including the default standard portion. The portions you mark here will be available in the billed product properties during the sale, so you will be able to choose which specific portion to bill.
Stock packaging
The Stock packaging tab displays an overview of all stock packages you can use for stocking. The stock packages are shown here for information only. They can be managed via the Dotypos cloud in the product details. Use stock packaging when you need to stock a specific package or a certain content, e.g. a drink in a 0.7 l bottle with a given purchase price. By default, you would always have to convert the purchase price to liters (a whole unit) when stocking. With stock packaging, however, the purchase price is recalculated directly to the given created package.
