Opening and closing the cash register

The cash register tracks the money each cashier handles during a shift.

Opening the register

The first time you open POS (on the website or the app) you'll see Open Cash Register.

1. Choose the location.
2. Enter the cash in hand, meaning the float in the drawer at the start.
3. Click Open Register.

During the day

The Register details button (briefcase icon) on the POS top bar shows sales by payment method, refunds and expenses paid from the till, and the cash you should have.

Closing the register

1. On the POS top bar click Close register (the ⊗ icon). In the app, use the menu: Cash register › Close.
2. Count the cash and enter the Total Cash, plus the number of card slips and cheques.
3. Add a closing note if there's a difference, then click Close Register.

Tip: Print or save the closing summary. It's your end-of-day report. Managers can review all closings in Reports › Register Report.

Note: A sale can only be made while the register is open. If you see "Cash register is closed", open it again from the POS screen.
