Flavor, strength, size, device family, and brand resolve to exact sellable combinations.
Treat the variant as the item that actually sells
Configurable products organize flavor, strength, size, device family, and brand while child variants preserve price, cost, SKU, UPC, image, status, and inventory behavior. Cashiers find the exact combination; buyers retain the family; reports can still describe what moved.
Put the highest restricted-item rule in checkout
An 18+ or 21+ rule follows each product into the cart, and the highest restricted-item rule governs a mixed basket. LiftedPOS asks the cashier to inspect physical ID and enter DOB for the browser-side decision, retaining the outcome rather than the entered DOB.
Turn low stock into a supplier decision
Low-stock visibility identifies the item and selected store that need attention. The operator can create a supplier purchase order with quantities, cost, expected delivery, and notes instead of treating an alert as automatic replenishment or supplier transmission.
Receive or transfer with different records
Partial receiving records what arrived from the supplier. A transfer between active locations moves available stock already inside the business and preserves sent, received, and remaining quantities. The two workflows solve different inventory problems and should not be conflated.
Recognize repeat customers without retaining DOB
Customer profiles, purchase history, loyalty, rewards, employee roles, online-order context, and reporting support the operation around the catalog. Age-check outcomes remain distinct from customer data, while identification policy, training, and legal compliance remain merchant responsibilities.
Run the exact-variant regulated-retail path
Choose a product family with multiple flavor, strength, or size combinations and confirm that SKU, UPC, price, cost, image, and selected-location quantity stay distinct. Add a safely configured restricted variant, follow the physical-ID decision, and inspect the retained outcome. Then compare a supplier receipt with an inter-store transfer so staff can explain both replenishment paths.
Inspect in the live demo
Use the flagship smoke and vape demo to inspect variants, age rules, loyalty, stock, and purchasing. Availability can depend on enabled modules, hardware, payment setup, role, location, and rollout configuration.
Move from the feature to the operation
This capability shares customer, employee, product, location, transaction, and reporting context with the rest of LiftedPOS. The value is not a checked box. It is the handoff the operation no longer has to rebuild.
