This is the way Wine Stop "solved" this "CRV problem":
Goal was to add the correct CRV fee to every item without having to click on every item and/or bring up the item list more than once for each modifier.
So, here we go:
STEP 1: GO TO MODIFIERS
Set up every modifier you need in your store:
CRV $0.05 (under 24 oz)
CRV $0.10 (24 oz plus)
CRV $0.25 (boxes, bladders, etc.)
Also for any 4 or 6 packs/combos, etc:
CRV $0.20 (4 x $0.5)
CRV $0.30 (6 x $.05)
etc.
STEP 2: STILL N MODIFIERS
Click on "Apply to Items" and select JUST ONE item that needs to be charged $0.05.
Do the same with all of the other CRV categories. Always select JUST ONE item.
STEP 3: GO ITEM LIBRARY
Select YOUR $0.05 item.
Scroll down to MODIFIERS.
Click on the 3 dots to the left. It brings up a pop up with 2 choices:
- Customize
- Remove from item
Select CUSTOMIZE
A new page will load
Select "Required Modifiers: 1"
Select "Maximum Modifiers: 1"
DO NOT check off PRE-SELECTED next to the CRV amount. The reason why you shouldn't check-off PRE-SELECTED bc all of your online items will show prices that INCLUDE the CRV fee. However, the CA CRV rules state that consumers need to SEE what they are paying for. By not checking-off PRE-SELECTED the TRUE retail price will show online.
At the bottom of this page, select:
"Apply This Config To Other Items"
Select and check off all of the items that need to be charged $0.05.
Next: Select your $0.10 modifier and repeat the above.
Do the same with all of your other modifiers.
From now on you won't be able to ring up any items unless you click/highlight the CRV fee. So it's impossible to miss adding CRV!
This is the absolut fasted way to cope with the CA CRV requirements regardless of the number of items you carry in your store.
And if any of these fees ever change one only has to change the amount of each Modifier. That's it.
This 100% works, if you key-in your transactions and also on your Square website.
Online:
Prosecco $21.9 $530.16
($22.09 ea) x 24
+ CRV (0.10 ea)
9.5% Sales Tax $ 50.37
POS:
Champagne $79.99 $80.09
+ CRV
9.5% Sales Tax $ 7.61
Next, we'll test it when we scan the item.
