A clothes or shoe shop needs three things a grocery till does not: stock kept per size and colour, a barcode on every piece, and exchanges that put the returned piece back on the shelf. In PosMasr they are in every plan for shops, from Retail Silver (variants, barcodes and stock, returns and discounts), and printed barcode labels come with Retail Gold. You name the attributes once, such as size and colour, the program makes every combination, and each one keeps its own stock, barcode, price and cost. Here is how to set it up and what to check before the season starts.
Why "one product, many pieces" breaks a simple till
A shirt in four sizes and three colours is twelve different things to count. If the till only knows "shirt", you find out that the medium blue is gone when a customer asks for it, and the stock-take at the end of the season never matches. The fix is to keep the product as one item on the sales screen but count each variant on its own.
Set up variants in PosMasr
- Create the product once, with its picture, its category and its price.
- Name the attributes: size (S, M, L, XL or 38 to 45 for shoes) and colour.
- Generate the grid. Each combination becomes a variant with its own stock, barcode, price and cost, so an XXL can cost more than an S.
- Print a barcode label for each piece (Code 128, any size) on a label printer, or on the receipt printer itself.
- Receive the delivery against the variants, so the stock starts right.
At the till the cashier scans the label and the exact size and colour drop into the receipt. No one has to pick from a list while a customer waits.
Exchanges and returns without losing track
Most exchanges in a clothes shop are "same item, other size". In PosMasr:
- A return prints its own receipt with its own number and puts the piece back into stock, so the size you take back is for sale again at once.
- Partial returns with refunds are possible, so one piece can come back from a receipt of five.
- Returns can need a manager's approval (password or card) if you want them to, through the cashier rights in cash control.
- A void is never an erasure: the original receipt stays in the list with the fact that it was cancelled.
Discounts at the end of the season
Clothes shops live on sales. Two tools keep them under control:
- A sale price on the product, shown as "was / now" on the button, for a permanent markdown.
- A discount ceiling per cashier: a small courtesy discount goes through, and anything above it waits for the manager.
Which package or plan fits a clothes shop
| You need | On your PC | PosMasr Online |
|---|---|---|
| Selling, receipts, returns, discounts | Retail Silver (2,450 EGP once per shop · launch price 1,838 until 31 Dec) | Retail Silver (125 EGP a month): sell, print, phone dashboard |
| Sizes and colours with stock per variant, customers and credit, cashier rights and shifts | Retail Silver, the same licence | Retail Silver, the same plan |
| Printed barcode labels, promotions, loyalty | Retail Gold (4,250 EGP once per shop · launch price 3,188 until 31 Dec) | Retail Gold (249 EGP a month) |
| Two tills linked in one shop | Retail Gold (4,250 EGP once, plus 1,500 EGP for the second till · launch price 3,188 + 1,125) | Retail Gold includes 2 tills |
| See the shop from your phone | Retail Platinum (6,450 EGP once per shop · launch price 4,838 until 31 Dec) | Every plan, from the phone dashboard |
For most single boutiques, Retail Silver on the PC (2,450 EGP once) is the package that matches the job; Retail Gold (4,250 EGP) adds printing your own barcode labels. If you are not always in the shop, or plan a second branch, compare the two editions in PC program or online. Every package is on the pricing page, and the package comparison lists each feature row by row.
Launch price until 31 December 2026, once per shop: for shops and services Silver 1,838 (list 2,450), Gold 3,188 (list 4,250) and Platinum 4,838 EGP (list 6,450). An extra till in the same shop is 750 EGP on Silver (list 1,000) and 1,125 EGP on Gold and Platinum (list 1,500). The code ENDOFYEAR2026 takes 25% off the list price instead of the launch price, never both, on the whole first order.
A checklist before the new season
- Every product has its size and colour grid, and every variant has a barcode.
- The labels are printed and on the pieces before they reach the rail.
- Each cashier has their own account, with a discount ceiling.
- The delivery is received against the variants, not against the product.
- A test exchange (return one size, sell another) prints two receipts and the stock is right.
When this is not for you
If you sell a few one-off pieces that are never restocked, variants add work for little gain: a simple product per piece is enough. If you mainly sell online through social media and rarely at a counter, a till is not where your problem is. And if you are outside Egypt, PosMasr is built for Egyptian shops, with prices in EGP and Egyptian tax features. Read who PosMasr is not for before you buy.
Questions and answers
Can each size have its own price?
Yes. Each variant keeps its own stock, barcode, price and cost, so a larger size can be priced higher.
Do I need a label printer?
No. Any label printer with a Windows driver works, but you can also print the barcode labels on the receipt printer.
Does an exchange put the piece back in stock?
Yes. A return prints its own numbered receipt and puts the goods back into stock, and partial returns are possible.
Can I try variants before I buy?
Yes. The free trial on your PC is 14 days of Retail Platinum, which includes everything in Retail Silver and Retail Gold, with no card and no sign-up.
