How to add variant & prices for attribute values in Checkmate POS
Sell one product in different sizes, flavours or options instead of adding a separate product for each. You set up the options once as attributes (for example Size) with values (Small, Medium, Large), then turn them on for any product - each value can add its own extra price.
Part 1: Create the attribute (once)
Step 1: Open Manage Variants
Open Products from the Dashboard and press Manage Variants in the toolbar.
Step 2: Name the attribute and choose how customers pick
Type the attribute name, such as Size or Toppings. Then choose:
- Single Selection - the customer picks one value (one size).
- Multiple Selection - the customer can pick several values (extra toppings).
Step 3: Add the attribute
Press Add Attribute. It appears in the list below.
Step 4: Add its values
Under the new attribute, type a value (for example Small) and press the + to save it. Repeat for every value. Use the pencil to rename an attribute, or the X to remove a value.
Part 2: Turn the variants on for a product
Step 5: Open the product’s Variants tab
Go back to Products, open the product (or add a new one) and choose the Variants tab.
Step 6: Enable variants and choose the attribute
Switch on Enable variants for this product, then pick the attribute under Select Attribute.
Step 7: Choose the values
Tick the values this product comes in, or press Select All.
Step 8: Set any extra prices and add them
Under Set Additional Prices, type how much each value adds - for example 200 for Medium. Checkmate shows the final price beside it (base or branch price plus the extra). Leave it at 0 if the value costs the same. Then press Add Selected Variants.
Step 9: Check the list
The variants appear under Current Variants with their final price and SKU. You can change an additional price right there, or remove a variant with the bin. Add another attribute (for example Bun) the same way if the product has more than one choice.
Step 10: Save
Press Update Product at the bottom to save everything.
Step 11: Sell it
On the POS, tap the product and choose the options - the cart shows exactly what was picked and charges the right price.
