Sell meat (or anything variable-weight) with an initial charge based on package size and a final adjustment after weighing.
Before you start: Decide if you want à la carte one-time orders, credit-based recurring orders, or both.
- List the product in Products with a package size price (e.g., "Ground Beef — 1 lb package — $12").
- Customer checks out at the listed price — that's the initial charge.
- After you weigh and pack the actual product, open the order and issue an adjustment: either a credit (you charged too much) or a charge (you charged too little).
- Alternatively, set the product up as a credit-based subscription: customer pays for a bundle of credits up front and redeems against any cut as they go.
✅ Success: customer's final invoice shows the original charge plus the weight adjustment line item — they see exactly what they got.
⚠️ What to know
- Charge is immediate; adjustment is after. Customer pays at order time based on listed package size. Farmhand can't hold the charge until you weigh — that's a manual reconcile step on your end.
- Credit-based ordering is its own model. Better for recurring meat customers who don't want to be charged per package. Configure as a subscription that issues credits.
- You can offer both. Same product can be sold à la carte (one-time) AND as a credit-based recurring share — the customer picks at signup.
