If you are delivering or shipping goods to your customer, you may need to charge a freight cost to your customer. This can be added directly to the sale within POS on the "Products" tab and displayed on the invoice.
📋 Note: Freight is not a product, it's a separate field altogether. The cost of freight is added to the value of the products to form part of the Sales Order total value.
