Allow items to be sold in a package or as individually.

Hi, we are starting to sell novelty bottled drinks in our store. I want to sell the drinks individually or as a 4-Pack for a flat rate. When someone purchases a 4-Pack I would like the specific drinks to be selected from a list of all applicable drinks. I would still want them to be able to be sold as individuals for potentially different prices but have both scenarios adjust the inventory appropriately.

I would like to create a 4 Pack item with all the possible drinks as options or variations, but I do not want to make new/seperate items I would like to use the drink items that already exist.

An example would be I sell coke, sprite, Pepsi, and root beer in my store. I want to sell them each for different prices, but if you buy a 4 Pack of any variation it would be $10 (just an example amount). I need to keep the inventory correctly updated regardless if I sell 1 coke or a 4 pack of cokes.

Hi @dbean,

Thanks for reaching out to The Seller Community! Great question.

If you need to track inventory for things you sell in multiple units, you can do so by utilizing the Stock Conversion feature in your Item Library.

To get started:

Navigate to Items & Orders > Items tab of your online Square Dashboard.
Select an existing item or click Create an item.
In the Variations section, select Add unit in the price field, or select Edit variation details > Add unit. If your item contains multiple variations, select the variation name, and then from the Edit variation details modal, select Add unit.
Select a unit, or create a new one, like "glass".
Under the Conversion section, enter in the conversion details specific to the item variation. For example, a conversion for a bottle of wine might be "4 glasses is equal to 1 bottle".
Click Done to save.

Please let me know if I can help with anything else.
