Reserve stock in POS and collect payment later for catalog products

Overview

AI Commerce POS enables users to reserve catalog products in inventory prior to payment. By selecting the Reserved sale type, staff can save an unpaid order and immediately deduct its items from available stock levels. Reservations are referenced using order numbers and can be completed later with payment collection against the same order. Stock is not deducted a second time on payment.

To restore reserved stock to inventory, simply cancel the reservation from the Orders section. This reservation workflow is available only with active stock tracking and requires that your POS has a configured Reserved order status. Only catalog products with stock records are supported; manually entered product lines are excluded from reservations.
