Create non-sellable variations
About non-sellable variations
If you’re subscribed to Square for Retail Plus, you can mark any item variations – such as components or ingredients of a bundle – as non-sellable. These items that are not sold directly to customers won’t appear online or at checkout on your Point of Sale. For example, you can track inventory of packing materials for delivery, but the packing materials aren’t sold separately to your customers.
Before you begin
Each variation can have its own cost, price and SKU. Learn how to Create and manage item options with Square.
All items must have at least one sellable variation.
