When a vendor taps a weight-based product in the POS, a keypad appears with a toggle to choose how to enter the weight. The Weight mode default setting controls which mode that toggle opens in.

​
Changing the default

  1. In the PopUp admin, go to Settings
  2. Find the Weight mode default section
  3. Choose your preferred default:
    • % w/w — the keypad accepts a single decimal number (e.g. 0.73 for 0.73 lbs). Use this if your scale displays a decimal reading.
    • Weight — the keypad accepts a compound reading where digits before the decimal are the larger unit and digits after are the smaller unit directly (e.g. 2.5 = 2 lb 5 oz, or 1.350 = 1 kg 350 g). Use this if your scale displays lb/oz or kg/g.
  4. Tap Save
The new default takes effect immediately the next time a product is opened in the POS.

​
Per-product memory

The POS remembers the last mode used for each product on that device. If a vendor switches a product from the default to a different mode, it will open in that mode next time — on that device only. Switching to a different POS device resets to the store default.

​
Which mode to choose

If you’re unsure, leave it as % w/w — it works the same as before this feature was added, and vendors can always toggle per-product.
