The register screen, explained

What this is for. The Cashier screen is where every sale happens. It has three parts: the carts you have open on the left, everything you sell in the middle, and the cart you are working on at the right. Once you know what each part does, a sale is a few taps.

The whole screen

Open it from Cashier in the top bar.

12. 12Save as quote. Saves the ticked items at today's prices for this customer to buy later.
13. 13Checkout. The total with tax. Tap it to take payment.

When something looks different

• The left side is narrow on other pages. The carts list opens fully only on the Cashier screen.
• No Setup button, or no cog. Those show to owners, General Managers and managers only.
• A banner at the top of the middle. On the Free plan the register shows how much of your plan you have used. Every sale still goes through.
• The register says another one is in use. The Free plan includes one register at a time. The screen frees up by itself when the other register goes idle.
• A cart says "Transaction" with a Completed badge. You opened a cart that is already paid. Pick an open cart or start a new one to keep selling.
