Mart step 5: fast checkout with scanner and camera

Grocery queues move fast when the checkout is set up well. This page shows the quickest way to ring up a basket in POS V2, with a hand scanner or a camera, and how to take cash with note counting, cards and wallets.

Before you start

• Products have barcodes (step 4) and prices.
• The cashier’s cash register is open (Cash register and closing).
• Cash denominations are set: Settings › Business Settings › Payment › Cash Denominations (for example 10, 20, 50, 100, 500, 1000, 5000), then Update Settings.

Ring up a basket

1. Open Sell › POS and check the location at the top.
2. Scan each item. The search box is always focused, so a hand scanner works without clicking. Items without a barcode: type part of the name, or tap a category chip and tap the item.
3. To scan with the camera, tap the camera button next to the search box. Switch on Continuous to scan item after item; the sheet beeps and shows “Added” for each one.
4. Change quantity on the line, or pick a different unit (for example Carton of 24) when the product has sub-units.
5. Optional: choose the customer (for points, credit or an invoice in their name). Leave Walk-In Customer for anonymous sales.

Speed tips for busy tills

• Use Hold for a customer who forgot something; serve the next one and Resume later.
• Learn the shortcuts in Business Settings › POS › Keyboard shortcuts, such as express cash and quick cash amounts.
• Search is instant for stores with up to about 600 sellable items per location; larger stores search the server as you type.
• Returns are handled from the sale; see Returns and refunds.
• No internet? Switch to the Offline POS.
