What can't be sold at a mobile POS:
  • Digital products, dropshipping products, or product subscriptions  
  • Products set to be fulfilled by a custom fulfillment service  

Step 1 | Set up POS on the Wix Owner app

    • Tap the More Actions icon  and then Clear Cart to remove all items. 
  • Want to sell only certain items at a point of sale? Create a POS category. Then, when making a sale, save time by selecting from product in that category.

You can offer customers a price reduction in 2 ways. If you created coupons, you can allow customers to redeem a coupon at checkout. Alternatively, you can manually enter any discount percentage you choose.

        • Price discount:
          1. Tap $.
          2. Enter the amount you want to take off the total price. (e.g. $10 discount).
          3. Tap Apply. 

Step 4 | (Optional) Add a customer

You can assign an existing customer to the sale or add a new one.
Tip:
When you add a new customer, you can also send the customer an email invitation to join your site. 

To add a customer:

  2. Select Add Customer.

    • Select an existing customer.

Step 6 | (Optional) Send a receipt

You can optionally send your customer a receipt by email or text message. Note that the receipt text and design cannot be customized. 
Sending an invoice after the sale:
To send a new customer an invoice after the sale, you must first send an email receipt. 

To send a receipt:

  1. Tap Send Receipt.
  2. Select an option:
    • Email a receipt:
      1. Tap Email receipt.
      2. Enter the customer's email address.
        Note: Email addresses are needed if you want to generate an invoice later.
