POS Setup

Set up POS once, test thoroughly, and document your decisions so checkout remains reliable.

Hardware#

• Pair supported terminals and printers per vendor instructions.
• Test printing and tap-to-pay from a sandbox transaction.
• Keep devices on a dedicated network where possible.

Payments#

• Enable accepted tenders (card, cash, on account) and map them to your accounting system.
• Configure tax rules and rounding, then test with typical baskets.
• Establish a refund policy with required approvals and notes.

Receipts#

• Include the order number, items, taxes, tender, and a short thank you message.
• Provide a link or QR code to the customer portal.

Daily Checks#

• Verify devices are online before opening.
• Reprint a test receipt to validate connectivity.
• Reconcile the cash drawer and resolve discrepancies immediately.
