Tracking Merchandise Sales

You can use two different reports to track merchandise sales in Stax Pay. The Sales by Item report and the Sales by Category report track the number of sales for a specific item and the category it and other items fall under.

To add an item to a category, you first need to add it to your catalog. You can do this by clicking Catalog on the left side of the Stax Pay menu and clicking New at the top of the page.

You can add a photo of the item, the name, the price, and several other details, including the category. You can add several different items to one category. To search for all items in a specific category in your catalog, you can click on the drop-down menu labelled category at the top of the catalogue page.

Once an item is added to your catalog, you can track that item’s sales under the Reports tab in the Stax Pay menu. Suppose you have multiple items in one category. In that case, you can track that category’s sales in the Sales by Item Category page or the individual sales under the Sales by Item Report. Select a date range to narrow your search at the report's top. This is a great way to track a cataloged item’s success from one season to the next and identify if one category of service or good is in demand more often than another and when.
