Selling with POS

Browse your products, build a cart, and take payment right from the POS screen.

Browse and filter the product catalog

Find products fast on the POS screen using categories, view modes, and search.

  1. Open the POS screen. Your products appear in a grid for the location selected in the header.
  2. Tap a category chip to narrow the grid, or tap All to show everything.
  3. Switch the view mode between All Products, Custom, and Best Sales. Custom is your starred list curated on the Products tab, and Best Sales holds products above your store's best-seller threshold.
  4. Or search by product name to see stock per option, category, price, and image, with up to 8 results.
  • When an event is live, displayed prices already include the event's markup, currency, and rounding.
  • Sold-out options still appear but are disabled.

Add a product to the cart

Pick an option, set the quantity, add any services, and drop the item into the cart.

  1. Tap a product card in the grid.
  2. Choose a variant or option. Each shows its own price, and sold-out options are disabled.
  3. Set the quantity. It is capped to available stock when inventory tracking is on.
  4. Optionally turn on the product's additional services, or add a one-off custom service with a name of up to 30 characters and a price. A $0 price asks you to confirm a free service.
  5. Tap Add to Cart to see a confirmation.
  • The cart lives only on this device and is not synced to other devices.
  • Identical lines without customizations merge into one.
  • With inventory tracking off, stock caps do not apply.

Sell a custom-priced or fully custom item

Charge a one-off price on an existing product, or ring up an item that is not in your catalog.

  1. For a custom price on a real product, choose the Custom option in the product dialog, then enter a description of up to 20 characters and a price.
  2. For an item that is not in your catalog, tap Add Custom Item in the cart, then enter a name of up to 30 characters, a price, and a quantity.
  3. A $0 price asks you to confirm a free item.
  • A custom option of a real product still counts toward that product's sales stats.
  • A fully custom item stands alone and never affects stock.

Manage the cart

Adjust quantities and prices, remove lines, or clear the cart before checkout.

  1. Open the cart from the header cart button or the mobile tab bar. The badge shows the item count.
  2. Change a line's quantity with the stepper, capped to stock plus any oversell allowance.
  3. Apply a per-item price adjustment: an increase or decrease, as a flat amount or a percentage. A decrease is capped at the item price, and a percentage is capped at 100%. The original price shows struck through, and you can clear the adjustment.
  4. Remove a single line or tap Clear to empty the whole cart. Both ask you to confirm, and clearing shows the item count.
  • When you open the cart, items are re-checked against current stock. Over-limit quantities are trimmed with a notice, and items that are no longer available block checkout until removed.

Mark cart items as pre-order

Sell items that are ordered but not yet in stock.

  1. In the cart, tap the clock-icon pre-order toggle on a line to sell it as ordered but not in stock.
  2. For a sold-out item still within the oversell allowance, pre-order is turned on automatically.
  • This is relevant when inventory tracking is on.
  • A line that is partly in stock splits automatically into an in-stock portion and a pre-order portion.
  • Pre-order lines are paid at checkout and decrease stock; you track fulfillment later from Sales history, as there is no fulfillment screen in POS.

Tag a sale with customers and tags

Attach customers and transaction tags to a sale before you check out.

  1. Open the Tags picker in the cart totals area.
  2. Quick-tap your frequent transaction tags, or open the picker to search customers and tags.
  3. Review the selected badges. They also appear on the checkout summary.
  • The sale records the customers and tags you selected, and the selections clear after each sale.
  • Customer and tag features are available on all plans, but access is paused while a subscription is past due or canceled.

Check out and record payment

Confirm the total, note how the customer paid, and complete the sale.

  1. Tap Checkout in the cart. The dialog shows the total, item count, and any customer or tag badges.
  2. Choose how the customer paid: Card, Cash, App, or ACH.
  3. Slide to confirm the charge for the amount shown.
  4. Wait for the Payment Successful screen. After a moment the cart clears and closes.
  • The sale is recorded with a transaction ID, timestamps, and the operator's identity. It appears in Sales history right away, and stock is decreased for tracked items. Sales made with the Time Machine are the exception: they're recorded at the past time you chose.
  • The payment method is a label only. It records how the customer paid, but the app does not process card, bank, or app charges.
  • Checkout is blocked once you reach your monthly transaction limit, and a dialog offers an upgrade. The limits are Free 50 per month, Grow 3,000 per month, and Max unlimited.
  • If stock is insufficient, the affected items are blocked until you adjust them.

Sell under a live event

Apply an event's pricing rules across the whole store while it is live.

  1. Tap the event badge in the app header. It is auto-selected for the current period.
  2. Toggle an in-period event live or off. If auto-live is enabled you are asked to confirm, and confirming turns auto-live off.
  3. While the event is live, the POS grid, cart, and checkout automatically apply its markup, display currency and rounding, transaction fee, and tax override.
  • Sales record the event, the currency actually used, and the event's fee and tax.
  • Events open and close automatically at their start and end times. All-day events stay live for their whole date range, and a timed event takes the live slot for its window before the all-day event resumes.
  • Only one event is live at a time, and the live state applies store-wide to every operator.

Multiple operators on one store

Sell from several devices at once, with each sale stamped by the operator who made it.

  1. Have team members sign in on their own devices to sell at the same time.
  2. Review who made each sale in Sales history, where every sale shows the operator's name.
  • The number of team members depends on your plan: Free 1, Grow 10, Max 50.
  • If two operators sell the same item at the same time, the second may be blocked for insufficient stock or see quantities trimmed.
  • Carts are per-device and not shared, while an event's live state applies store-wide.

Record a past sale - Time Machine

Use the Time Machine to record sales that happened in the past, like a market day you rang up on paper.

  1. Open the Sales section and tap Time Machine in the toolbar, next to Filter.
  2. Pick the past date and time, in your store's timezone, no earlier than your plan's history window allows.
  3. Optionally choose an event that was active at that time. It's recorded on the sale, but the event's custom pricing is not applied.
  4. Confirm to jump to the POS. A glowing border and a banner show the time you traveled to, the selected event, and an Exit button.
  5. Check out as normal. You can record several sales in one trip, and each is saved at the traveled time. Tap the banner to adjust the time or event mid-session.
  6. Tap Exit to end the session and return to the Sales section, where your new records are visible.
  • Available to Store Owners and Admins.
  • Entering and exiting the Time Machine clears your cart. A warning appears before entry if the cart isn't empty. Adjusting the time mid-session keeps the cart.
  • Backdated sales show a small history-clock icon next to the sale time in Sales history, and the details show both the sale time and when it was entered.
  • Stock is decreased normally, and each sale counts toward the current month's transaction limit.
  • Products, Sales, Settings, and search are locked while traveling. Navigating away exits the Time Machine.
  • Checkout requires an internet connection. Going offline pauses checkout but keeps the Time Machine open and your cart intact.
  • Prices are today's values in your store currency. Adjust them in the cart if you need historical prices.
