The Automatic Giveaways feature was developed to allow for tracking items that are stocked as inventory but given away during a sale without cost or at a discount for promotional purposes. This can be useful when giving away jewelry boxes or jewelry cleaner with an engagement ring sale, batteries with a watch repair, and more.
This feature is separate from Promotional Giveaways. See the article titled Giveaways at POS to learn more about setting up Promotional Giveaways.
