Square offers us modifiers so we can add different and unique changes to an item - GREAT. Love this feature you build the item as a package. Its a great add to the programing - wonderful value.
Scenario:
ABC Item #1 includes the following: Color Blue, Trim Grey, Engraving YES (modifier set is preselected for these items)
ABC Item #2 includes the following: Color Red, Trim Orange, Engraving NO (modifier set is preselected for these items)
ABC Item #3 Your choice of the following: Color Red or Blue? Trim Grey or Orange? Engraving Yes or No? (modifier set by customer)
ABC Item 1 and 2 are NON-NEGOTIABLE hence the modifier.
ABC Item #3 is the customers choice hence the modifier.
Set-up for the Brick-N-Mortar:
- Basic Item 1.00
- Modified item #1 25¢
- Modified item #2 15¢
- Modified item #3 10¢
- Total Cost $1.50
Set-up for same item online:
- Basic item 1.50 (price include $1.00 for Basic item, .25¢ for modified item #1, .15¢ for modified item #2, and .10¢ for modified item #3)
- No modifiers allowed unless the client can have full control of which modifiers apply. You are now forced to add the ridiculous run-on sentence to your basic item description.
- Total Cost $1.50
Good luck tracking how many basic items are sold and when to re-order modified items #1, #2 and #3 your screwed unless you pay more money for a Square modifier to grant access to basic modifier service.
WTF? How stupid do you think we are? You want us to to purchase a add-on program to get basic service? If we don't pay the Square extortion then we have to make a separate "online" item EVEN THOUGH THEY ARE THE SAME. And here is the over-the-top kicker! Square is now charging us MORE MONEY TO DO MORE WORK FOR THE SAME SERVICE. Why are we putting up with this?
WHY AM I PUTTING UP WITH THIS? Am I the only person here who feels this way? This is un-exceptable.
