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