How GrazeCart handles catch-weight sales

This three-step process works the same way online and at your farm store.

Step 1: Authorize the
card at checkout

At checkout, the customer’s card will be validated
and saved, but will not be charged until after
fulfillment.

Step 2: Update actuals

Weigh your items sold by weight at fulfillment time and enter the actual weights directly in GrazeCart.

Step 3: Let GrazeCart
handle the rest

Automatically send the customer an email
receipt with the final price of each item they were
charged for.

Still taking farm store orders by phone?

If you're selling items by weight through calls and texts, you're doing the work GrazeCart can automate.

Every order taken manually creates more steps, more follow-up, and more room for pricing mistakes.

Here's what that looks like in practice:

Order chaos

Phone and text orders are hard to track, easy to lose, and impossible to scale. Customers order, you confirm, you weigh, you charge, you follow up.

Pricing errors

Selling a 0.8 lb. cut at a flat 1 lb. price means either you eat the difference or customers dispute the charge. Manual ordering makes accurate sell-by-weight pricing harder than it needs to be.

Manual follow-up

Adjusting orders by hand after fulfillment means extra emails, refund requests, and charges your team has to track one by one.

FAQs: GrazeCart catch-weight sales

Do all products in GrazeCart have to be sold by weight?

No. GrazeCart lets you choose how to price each product. You can sell some items by the pound and others by the unit. Catch-weight settings are configured per product and can be changed at any time.

Can I use GrazeCart if I don't sell any products by weight?

Yes. GrazeCart functions as a full point of sale system regardless of whether you use catch-weight features. All products default to unit pricing, and catch-weight tools only activate on the specific products you configure them for.

How does GrazeCart charge customers for catch-weight items?

GrazeCart uses an auth-and-capture payment flow. The customer's card is authorized at checkout and charged after fulfillment, once the actual weight is confirmed. GrazeCart then captures the final amount and automatically sends the customer an itemized receipt showing the actual weight and price of each catch-weight item.

Does GrazeCart support catch-weight sales at a physical farm store?

Yes. GrazeCart's built-in POS supports catch-weight sales in person and online from a single platform. You can weigh items at the counter and charge customers based on actual weight — the same process used for online orders.
