Processing Sales
This is the core POS workflow — adding items to the cart, adjusting quantities, linking a client, and completing the payment.
Basic Sale Workflow
- Add Items to CartClick items in the product grid or use the search bar to find them. Each click adds one unit to the cart.
- Adjust QuantitiesIn the cart, use the +/- buttons or type a number to change quantities. Click × to remove an item entirely.
- Link a Client (Optional)Click Add Client to link the transaction to a client record. This is required for billing integration and receipt emails.
- Review the TotalCheck the subtotal, any applicable tax, and the final total at the bottom of the cart.
- Select Payment MethodClick Card, Cash, or Split for multiple methods.
- Complete the TransactionFor cards: the client taps, swipes, or enters their card. For cash: enter the amount tendered and the system calculates change. Click Complete Sale.
- Offer ReceiptAsk the client if they want a receipt (print, email, or text). Click the appropriate option.
Speed tip: Use the search bar to type the first few letters of an item name. It's faster than scrolling through categories for less common items.
Split Payments
If a client wants to pay with multiple methods (e.g., $30 on card and $20 cash):
- Click SplitThe split payment form appears.
- Enter Amounts per MethodEnter how much to charge to each payment method. The system ensures the total matches.
- Process EachProcess the card payment first, then record the cash amount.
