Make your first sale

Open a shift, scan or tap products, take payment and print the receipt — the full POS loop.

The POS is tuned for speed: scan → tap → charge → receipt. Here's the whole loop.

1. Open the POS and start a shift

  1. Open POS from the menu.
  2. If a shift isn't open, the till asks for one — enter the opening cash in the drawer and confirm.
  3. If your account is attached to a register, the location picks itself; otherwise choose it at the top.

2. Add products to the cart

Three ways — use whichever is fastest:

  • Scan a barcode — the scanner types into the search box and Enter adds the match.
  • Search — click the search box (or press Ctrl+B), type a name, SKU or serial, press Enter.
  • Tap a product card in the grid; filter first with the category chips.

Quantities, line discounts and the invoice discount all live in the cart on the right — the bill updates live as you work.

3. Attach a customer (optional)

Leave it as walk-in for a plain cash sale, or pick a saved customer to track their history and loyalty — or to sell on credit (khata).

4. Charge

  1. Press F12 or tap Charge.
  2. Pick the payment method — cash, card or credit — and enter the tendered amount for change.
  3. Confirm; the receipt prints (automatically on counters with a thermal printer set up — see printer setup).

Done — your dashboard checklist marks "first sale" complete and the sale lands in orders, stock and the cashbook all at once.

Tip: Park a waiting customer with Hold (F2) instead of clearing the cart — Recall (F3) brings it back exactly as it was.

At day end, use More → Day close to count the drawer and lock the shift.
