Create Color Features

This How-To describes new functions and workflows that are only available in enforePOS 2. This version is exclusively available to customers participating in the enforePOS 2 Early Access program.

With the help of color features, you can easily distinguish sales items that you offer as variants in several colors (e.g. backpacks) at a glance. In this How-To, we will show you how to do it.

There are two ways to create color features in enforePOS: 

Create a Feature in the Features Overview

  1. Open Sales Items in the POS menu.
  2. Tap on [Features].
  3. Tap on [+ Create feature] or Plus.svg in the top right-hand corner.Capture d’écran 2024-04-03 à 17.12.46.png

  7. Choose in which unit the color feature should be. You have the choice between Color Swatch and Abstract.

    Color Swatch: you can define any color and display it using a color preview.

    Abstract: you can define a name for the color. The color is not displayed using a color preview.
