Video tutorial: update prices in bulk in OxPOS by category, brand or selected products, by percentage or fixed amount, with a preview first.

By MarkZone Technology Updated Lesson 5 of 15 · 4:23 · Narrated in Arabic

When a supplier raises costs or you plan a seasonal offer, updating prices one by one can take a whole day. The bulk price tool in OxPOS changes a full category, a brand or even your entire stock in one step, with a preview before anything is saved.

Three ways to change prices

  1. Direct change: increase or decrease prices by a percentage or a fixed amount.
  2. Selling price = cost + margin: OxPOS calculates the price from each product’s cost.
  3. Cost = selling price − margin: useful when you know the shelf price and want to set the cost side.

Step by step

  1. Open Products and press the bulk edit button.
  2. Choose the mode: direct change, cost plus margin, or price minus margin.
  3. Choose the scope: all products, one category, one brand, or products you select by hand.
  4. Enter the value: a percentage or a fixed amount, and choose the rounding rule so prices end neatly.
  5. Include variants if the change should apply to sizes and colours too.
  6. Press Preview. Check the old and new prices side by side.
  7. Apply. The new prices are live on the POS straight away.

When to use it

  • Raising prices after a supplier increases costs
  • Preparing a seasonal offer on one category
  • Setting the same profit margin across a whole category

Tips

  • Always preview first. The tool can change hundreds of products at once.
  • Use rounding. Prices such as 19.50 or 20.00 are easier for customers and cashiers than 19.37.
  • Record why you changed prices, for example the supplier name and date, so the team understands the new shelf prices.
