Sell at the counter

A day of selling in person, from opening the till to counting it at close. Each sale takes its stock at once and shows in Sales with your other orders.

This uses Point of sale (POS in the menu). To open and close the till you need Sell and till or Manage for POS in your role; to sell, Sell is enough.

1. Open the till

Cash sales go into an open till. Count what is in it before you start, so the count at close can be checked against it.

  1. Open POS › Till. If this device uses a different till, pick it at the top.
  2. Count the cash in the drawer and type it under Count what's in it to start.
  3. Press Open with ….

Card and phone-app sales work even when no till is open.

2. Ring up a sale

If the internet drops

Keep the Sell page open and keep selling with cash, phone apps or your own ways to pay. Cards need Ordryx. Each sale waits on the device and goes in by itself once Ordryx is back. See Point of sale for more.
