Set up Point of Sale
Point of Sale is a paid add-on on some plans; see Finance → Billing & Plans and the features list. It needs Warehouses, because every till sells from a stock location.
- Switch it on. Settings → Modules → Point of Sale → Enable (switch on Warehouses first if asked).
- Create a stock location for your shop in Products → Warehouses, and put stock in it.
- Add a register for each till: Sales → Registers → Add register.
- Name and Code — the code is printed on receipts and reports, so two tills can be told apart.
- Stock location — the shelf this till sells from. A register without one cannot sell.
- Status Active.
- Add charges your counter uses (optional): Sales → Charges → Add charge, for example "Delivery" or "Gift wrap". Choose Fixed amount or Percentage of the sale, whether Tax applies to this charge, and whether the Cashier may change the amount.
- Check the till rules in Sales → POS preferences, for example Require an open shift before selling (recommended) and Allow selling below zero stock (off by default). To show a UPI QR at the counter, enter your UPI ID for the counter QR (for example yourshop@okicici) and the Name shown to the customer.
- Give cashiers a login. Each cashier needs their own staff account with POS access (Staff and roles).
Cashiers then open the register at your store's /pos address on the counter computer or tablet and sign in with their staff account.
