How do I add items from Mystery Boxes?

I have specific items listed on my site, but I also have the option for a mystery box. People who don't know exactly what they want can add likes/dislikes and I will choose for them. I've just sold my first mystery box and have it ready to go, but I don't want to just delete the items from my site. Is there a way to track the sales for those items under the mystery box purchase? 

I don't want it to look like I made double the amount by tracking a sale on the items individually and also have the value of the mystery box recorded, so I'm not sure how to get around this.

One option, the item or items you put in the mystery box, just go to each individual item and under stock count do an inventory recount and subtract that item. It wouldn't log as a sale, just a recount.

 

The only problem with inventory recount would be the sale would just say Mystery Box, there would be no way to record on Square what you put in the mystery box. 

 

maybe someone elses that does subscriptions will know a better way.

I just ended up putting the cost of the mystery box to match the price of the mystery box. It tags it as a sale, but at least for my end of year profits it won’t show up as double there. Then I go and sell each of the items individually. It’s not perfect, but it’s what I’ve had to do to make the numbers make the most sense possible
