How Can I Create a Combo?

 How Can I Create a Combo?

Combo promotions allow you to group specific products and quantities together and offer them at a promotional price.

When a customer purchases all required products and quantities, the Combo Price is applied.

Important: A Combo does not maintain a distinct inventory. Its availability depends on the stock of the individual products included in the Combo.

Combos are managed under:

TechPOS Menu → Pricing → Combo

Combos on TechPOS SEO Optimized Ecommerce V2

Combo promotions can also be displayed through TechPOS SEO Optimized Ecommerce V2.

The Ecommerce functionality below applies specifically to SEO Optimized Ecommerce V2.

How Customers See Combo Promotions

Eligible Combos can be displayed as dedicated promotional offers.

Customers can see:

• Combo name
• Description
• Included products
• Required quantities
• Regular price
• Combo price
• Savings

Combo Detail Page

When a customer selects a Combo, they can view the complete promotion, including:

• Combo image or banner
• Combo name
• Description
• Included products
• Required quantities
• Regular price
• Combo price
• Savings

The customer can then select Add Combo to Cart.

Adding a Combo to the Cart

Customers do not need to add every product individually.

When they select Add Combo to Cart, the required products are automatically added to the cart with their configured quantities.

For example:

Weekend Family Combo

• Product A × 3
• Product B × 2
• Product C × 3

Selecting Add Combo to Cart adds all three products with the required quantities.

The Combo Price is applied when all promotion requirements are satisfied.

Completing a Combo

Customers can also add products individually.

If the products in the cart are close to completing an available Combo, Ecommerce can identify what is still missing.

For example, if the Combo requires:

• Product A × 3
• Product B × 2
• Product C × 3

and the customer already has:

• Product A × 3
• Product B × 2

the system can indicate that the customer is missing:

Product C × 3

A message such as:

You're close to unlocking the Weekend Family Combo!
Add 3 × Product C to get the Combo price of $29.99.

can help the customer complete the promotion.

Inventory and Availability

All products included in a Combo must be available in the required quantities.

For example:

• Product A × 3 → Available
• Product B × 2 → Available
• Product C × 3 → Out of Stock

In this situation, the Combo cannot be purchased because one of the required products is unavailable.

The Combo itself does not maintain separate inventory.

When Will a Combo Be Available?

A Combo must meet all applicable requirements before a customer can purchase it.

The Combo must be:

• Active
• Within its configured date and time
• Available through its selected Channel
• In stock in the required product quantities

If any required condition is not met, the Combo will not be available for purchase.

Multiple Combo Promotions

If multiple eligible Combo promotions are available, they can be displayed as separate offers.

Multiple Combo banners can also appear in a carousel, allowing customers to browse the available promotions.

Only Combos that are currently eligible will be displayed. Expired, inactive, unavailable, or ineligible Combos will not appear.

Updating a Combo

If you update a Combo in TechPOS, the corresponding Ecommerce promotion should reflect the latest configuration.

This can include changes to:

• Price
• Required quantities
• Included products
• Description
• Image
• Visibility
• Dates
• Store
• Status

If a Combo is disabled or becomes ineligible, it will no longer be available for purchase.

Example: Creating a Weekend Family Combo

Let's say you want to create the following promotion:

Weekend Family Combo

Combo Price: $29.99
Regular Price: $37.00
Status: Active
Schedule: Friday to Sunday
Channel: All Channels
Exclude Express: Enabled

Products:

• Product A × 3
• Product B × 2
• Product C × 3

Description:

Get 3 of Product A, 2 of Product B and 3 of Product C for only $29.99.

After the Combo is saved and becomes eligible, customers can see the promotion in Ecommerce, review the included products and savings, and select Add Combo to Cart.

The required products are then added to the cart automatically and the Combo Price is applied when all requirements are satisfied.
