Attribute Sets are designed to simplify the process of selling products with slight variations (for example, different sizes, colours, flavours etc.) without having to create individual items to accommodate each variation. For example, a retailer that offers T-shirts in a variety of sizes might create an Attribute Set called “Sizes” in which they could include the variations “Small”, “Medium”, “Large”, and “Extra Large”. Once the “Sizes” attribute set is assigned to an individual item, you will then be able to select the particular size option when processing a sale. Attribute Sets allow you to create consistent product variations across your inventory.
Modifier Sets allow you to add customisable options to items. You can offer add-ons to your items at checkout, further enhancing customer service. For a cafe business, Modifier Sets might be “Alternative Milk” with options such as skinny, soy, oat, almond etc. For a retail business, “Gift Wrapping” or “Home Delivery” might be examples of useful modifier sets. When the modifier set is assigned to an item, these options will be available to select when checking out that item.
Modifier Sets can be created on Zeller App, Zeller Dashboard, or directly from Zeller Terminal 2.

Favourites are items or categories that you choose to appear on your Zeller POS Lite home screen on Zeller Terminal 2 or Zeller App to help you select them quickly, to save time when processing sales. Favourites are device-specific, so if you are using more than one Zeller Terminal in your business, you will need to select favourites for each individual device.
The item import feature is a useful and time-saving option for businesses that already have a list of items prepared, or for those that are migrating from another point-of-sale system. Via Zeller Dashboard, businesses can simply upload their item lists as a CSV file, and they will automatically populate into Zeller POS Lite. To ensure there are no issues when importing items, we recommend downloading the CSV file template from the Items tab within your Zeller Dashboard (click All Items > Manage > Import Items > Download Item File Template).
