Point of Sale
Create a checkout station or assign its payment device
Name a register and assign the card reader or payment terminal it should use.
Before you start
- POS → Select Checkout Station
- Your account needs permission to take POS payments. Discounts, transaction history, refunds, station settings, and cash-drawer actions may require additional permissions.
What success looks like
