Getting started with the point of sale

The point of sale add-on turns a browser, tablet or till PC into a register. You ring up a sale, take payment and print or email a receipt, and the sale is recorded in PayMidWare.

Before you start

1. Turn the add-on on from the Integrations page. It is an optional add-on to your plan.
2. An Admin gives your Staff the Point of sale area under User roles. People who were already signed in need to sign out and in again to pick it up.
3. Open Register settings and review currency, tips, the cash discount and the receipt footer (see Register settings explained).
4. Open Registers and check your register and location. A register called Main at a location called Main is created for you the first time anyone opens the register.

Then choose Register from your account page or the top menu. Your Sales and Drawer shifts pages are next to it.

Card payments at the register are keyed card, a card saved on the customer, a QR code the customer pays with on their own phone, or a Stripe card reader (see Pay on a card reader).
