Navigate to the Business Icon on your Bound Admin site and choose stores.
In the top right corner of your screen click "Add Store". You'll be able to choose +Add New Store and build yours out from scratch or +Add Store from Template.
*Templates provide a pre-configured structure to save setup time.
After clicking +Add Store from Template click the Green + sign in front of your chosen store set up.
You'll be taken to the Overview Page of your NEW set up where you can proceed through the following steps to customize your Concession Store.
After Clicking on +Add New Store you'll land on the setup page where you must select and fill out the appropriate information to finish creating your New Store.
Start by choosing the Category: select "Concessions"
Give your store an identifiable unique name (IE: Concessions 25-26)
Optional: Add a description, which will display on your public gobound.com site should you choose to make your store visible
Double check the school year making sure it reflects the academic year you are managing sales for
Enter a Start and End date - this is the range of time the store will display and be available to manage product sales. (By default the current day will pre-fill as the start date, and the last day of July will pre-fill as the end date)
Select the correct Stripe account where the store’s proceeds will be deposited and how they will be reported
*For most this will be the Bound Stripe Account (Connected). However, Bound has the ability to offer multiple payees

After you have created the Store the page will reset to display the Setup Information. At this time confirm the Concession Store is set up in the correct academic year, change information as needed and continue the set up process.
Optional: Add Order Disclaimers as needed.
Optional: Add text for a Confirmation Email Note, a defaulted message will pre-fill.
Gate Checkout Receipt Flow is not needed for Concessions Stores so leave the radio button unchecked.
Confirm the Start and End Date of the Store
If you want your Concessions store seen on your public gobound.com site then toggle on Show on the Public Page.
The most common choice for Concessions is to leave this toggle off.
Click Save Store and Proceed with your Set up of the Financial Details
Proceed to set up the Financial Details for your Concessions Store.
Click the radio button in front of the listing Bound Stripe Account (Connected)
Chose the Venue for Tax Purposes from the drop down. We recommend you choose the venue the concession store is located at.
Select the correct Payee from the drop down menu. If you have multiple Payees the listing in this field is where the store’s proceeds will be deposited and reported.
If you plan to "Upcharge Process Fee" to the customer, toggle this switch on.
This means the fee for processing a cashless transaction will be added on top of the purchase price of the product.
Click Save Store
Adding Products
After the store has been created or copied from a template you are ready to add, update or archive your product offering.
Click on the "Products" in the horizontal taskbar
If you copied your store from a template you can begin updating information by clicking on the pencil in front of the product.
Once a product is created it will have a status of Active, Inactive or Archived
To add products to your offering list, click on "Manage Products" in the top right corner, then click + Add Product in the drop down menu.
Next add or update the product information:
Determine the Position the product is placed on the list by giving it a number
Name your product
Add a Description of the product if you choose
List the Price
Choose the Tax Category (choose a tax category even if your state does not require collection or reporting of taxes on concessions)
Set the Tax Value if this is considered a full or partial donation to your school
Continue your set up of the product:
List the Start Date and End Date: this is the range of time the store will display and be available to manage product sales.
Indicate the Quantity of Product Available for sale
Leave the number available at 1000 if the amount available is unlimited - your reports will still document the amount sold
You can track inventory remaining by entering a starting balance in the Quantity Available field.
Limit Per Transaction: Most concession set ups will NOT limit the number of items per transaction. Therefore, enter 0 in the field.
Turn the Toggle on to Display on the Public Store.
After clicking "Create Product" you can add an image if you wish. Click on the "Upload Photo" button to bring in an image for the product.
Placing Products in Groups
After you create products you have the option of putting them into groups.
Groups allow easier navigation to products on the S700 screen.
To make a group, navigate to the "Groups" tab and then click "Add Group" in the top right hand corner of the screen.
Give the group a name, then at the bottom of the screen you can add products to the group using the drop down menus.
**Remember to click Create Group at the bottom of the page.
Using Product Options
An alternate way to add products to your Concessions Store is by using Product Options, located under the Products page. Product Options can simplify navigation when selling concessions using the S700 reader.
In the example below you would name a product "Candy"
Set the product price to $0.00, and then give each option in the bottom "Options" section its own fee.
Under Category, click the radio button in front of "Require at least one option and allow multiple to be selected on purchase."
In the grid the Category would be set to add on.
Determine the Position of each product being listed
Enter the name of the Product
Leave the Quantity at "0"
Add the Fee for the price of the item
