Making a sale (point of sale)

The point of sale (POS) is where you ring up sales. You'll find it under POS.

Owners, Admins, Managers & Sellers can make sales.

Ring up a sale

1. Open POS.
2. Add items to the sale — search by name, scan a barcode, or tap a product. Repeat for everything the customer is buying, adjusting quantities as needed.
3. (Optional) Apply a discount or promotion — see below.
4. (Optional) Attach a customer — see below.
5. Choose the payment method.
6. Select Complete sale.

That's it. Stock is reduced, the sale is saved to your Sales history, and a receipt is ready to print or email.

Payment methods

Choose how the customer is paying:

• Cash
• Mobile money — MTN or Orange mobile money (Cameroon).
• Card
• Credit — record the sale now, to be paid later.
• Other — anything that doesn't fit the above.

Apply a discount or promotion

There are two ways to reduce the price at checkout:

• Enter a promotion code — if you're running a promotion with a code, type it in and it's applied automatically.
• Add a manual discount — apply a one‑off discount and add a short reason (kept on the record for accountability).

Promotions can be a percentage or a fixed amount, and can apply to the whole order or just certain products, categories, or tags. See Promotions for how they're set up.

Attach a customer

Linking a sale to a customer builds their purchase history, which helps with service and marketing. Search for an existing customer or add a new one during the sale. You can also add a short note to the sale.

After the sale

Every completed sale appears under Sales, each with:

• the items, totals, payment method, and any discount;
• the staff member who made it;
• the customer, if one was attached;
• a receipt you can reprint, email, or resend.

See Receipts for sharing receipts, and Refunds & voids if something needs to be reversed.

Faster checkouts

Add barcodes to your products (see Products) so you can scan items straight into the sale instead of searching.
