Creating a POS Session

Creating a POS Session

Before your staff can ring up sales, you need to create and configure a POS session. Think of a session as a specific checkout counter — you might have one for the main counter and another for a range shop or second register.

Step by Step

  1. Open the Point of Sale app from the main menu.
  2. Click Configuration → Point of Sale in the top menu.
  3. Click New to create a new POS configuration.
  4. Enter a name for this POS — something descriptive like "Main Counter" or "Range Counter."
  5. Under Payment Methods, select the methods this register will accept (Cash, Bank/Card, etc.).
  6. If you use a receipt printer, configure it under the IoT / Hardware section.
  7. Click Save.

Common Settings to Check

  • Default Payment Method — Which method is pre-selected when you click Payment (usually Cash)
  • Allow Multiple Orders — Let staff work on more than one order at a time (useful when a customer steps away)
  • Receipt Header / Footer — Customize text that prints on every receipt (store name, return policy, FFL number)
  • Starting Category — Which product category shows first when POS opens

Tip: Most shops only need one POS configuration. Only create multiple if you have separate physical counters that need different settings (different payment methods, different printers).
