Overview

   This article will detail how to set up products to use as rental items for Cloud Retailer rent registration.  

Procedure

Creating and configuring keg deposits

Keg deposits will need to be setup and configured in the back office.

1. Go to Products > Add New Product
2. Set the Description to “KEG DEPOSIT”
3. Product type is “Standard”
4. Set the retail price to your choice and make sure “No Tax” is applied
5. Assign the appropriate Size, Department, and Category (you may need to create these)
6. Click “Save”

Steps 1-6 is repeated for each deposit you’re creating such as, tapper deposit, cooler deposit, etc. 

*Note* You may also want to review any loyalty programs at this time and exclude these deposit items from the earn rules since these aren't real purchases and are intended to be returned.

Setting up keg products

When creating a keg product, set the category to your specific keg category. Then, add the keg deposit as a tag along item.

1. Click “Tag along products” button
2. Click “Add new entry”
3. Enter in the product code for your keg deposit
4. Click “Save”

You may want to charge rental fees for keg add-ins. To accomplish this, set these up as a product - this is the same as creating deposits, but tax is applied. 

For each rental fee, you will need to set them up as tag along products for their corresponding deposit. For example, "TAPPER DEPOSIT" will have a tag along product called "TAPPER RENTAL" This is to ensure that "TAPPER RENTAL" is added as a line item when "TAPPER DEPOSIT" is added to the transaction.
