Free sample orders

4min

If you are reaching out to leads or have a new product that you have launched that you may want to notify an existing customer about, you will be able to raise a 'Free sample order'. This will mean you can select products to send as free samples to the lead or customer, and when the free sample is sent, the duty will be calculated. You will also be able to schedule these sample orders on your delivery runs.

To raise a sample order for a customer, go to the customer account page and select New->New free sample order; you can then add products to be sent as samples and the quantity. The order will be tagged accordingly as a 'Sample' order, as well as a symbol to notify you that invoice emails will not be sent. You will then be able to handle the order flow and dispatch as usual.

How do I enter samples into Breww to mark them not liable for duty?

If a sample isn’t liable for duty, for example for your own quality control, then you want to make sure it’s entered correctly into Breww. If duty does need to be paid, then the sample should be put through as an invoice like a normal sale.

To enter a sample into Breww where the sample isn’t liable for duty, start by going to the product you want to enter a sample for, click Actions (in the top right) > Stock adjustment > Reduce stock. Fill in the correct details for your sample, like in the screenshot below.
