Set up the Hardware pack
For Hardware store owners · 5 min read · Last reviewed 2026-08-04
A hardware shop rings the same counter two very different ways: a discrete claw hammer you scan once, and twelve feet of chain you measure and cut. The Hardware pack sets up a starter catalogue built for both — power tools, hand tools, fasteners, plumbing, electrical, paint, garden, and lumber & cordage — with the two pricing tricks a DIY store lives on already switched on.
Those tricks are sold-by-length (rope, cable, hose and lumber priced per foot) and quantity price tiers (a box of screws that gets cheaper the more you buy). This article gets the pack installed and points you at the two how-tos that matter.
Install and learn your aisles
- Install the Hardware pack on a fresh store.
- Browse the eight seeded categories — Power tools, Hand tools, Fasteners, Plumbing, Electrical, Paint & finishes, Garden & outdoor and Lumber & cordage.
- Rename the sample items to match your shelves and set your own prices.
The starter tool kit combo
The pack also seeds a reusable combo— a Starter Tool Kit that bundles a claw hammer, a screwdriver set and a tape measure at one price. A cashier applies it with a tap, and stock still decrements each real item in the kit.
What to set up next
- Selling by length — cut-to-length cable, rope, chain and lumber priced per foot.
- Bulk price tiers — the box of screws that gets cheaper by the hundred.
- Mixed units in one basket — length-priced, tiered and per-piece lines on one ticket.
Frequently asked
- Does the pack include my whole product range?
- No. It seeds a curated mix across eight aisles so you can learn the workflows. Rename what fits and bulk-load the rest of your catalogue.
- Can I sell both per-piece and per-foot items?
- Yes. A hammer rings per piece and cable rings per foot; both live in the same catalogue and go in the same basket.
