Set up POS

🇳🇱 Nederlandse vertaling

The POS can be used to pay for small items paid for by pin or cash. In this support article we explain how you can best set up the cash register. Is your question not answered? Then look at the bottom of the page at the related articles. Perhaps these articles can help you further. 

1. How do I create a POS?

Before you start working with the POS, you must create at least one cash register. To do so, navigate to the POS tab and click New Cash Register;

Give the cash register a Name and specify the minimum amount of money to be present in the cash register. The cash register is also closed based on this amount. Then click Add cash register to create the cash register.

2. Can I create more than one cash register?

That is not a problem. In principle, there is no limit to the number of cash registers you can create in Booking Experts. You could create a separate till for each cash register drawer.

3. Can I work with several computers on the same cash register?

You can! We register the receipts and when employees work with their own login, you can always find out who made the receipt. So you do not need to create a separate cash register for each employee. 

4. How do I create a cash register product? 

First you have to create a cash register as explained in (link to point 1). When you have created a cash register, you can click Products in the right sub-menu of the cash register menu. Then click New to add a new product.

Note: A product description can be up to 15 characters long.

5. What is the best size to add images to the POS?

When adding an image, it is best to keep the size 140 X 105 or everything in the same scale, for example 280 X 210. A cash register image is reduced to 140 X 75 when saving.

6. Can I delete a POS product?

It is not a problem to delete a POS product that you no longer offer. This has no consequences for the products that have already been paid for. To delete a product, navigate to the POS tab and choose Products from the right-hand submenu. Click on the name of the product you wish to delete and click on Delete.

7. How can I change the price of a cash product?

You can always change prices. These prices will then become the new price for the product from the time of change. This does not affect the receipts already created. To edit a product, navigate to the POS tab and choose Products from the right-hand submenu. Click on the name of the product you want to edit and adjust the price.

8. Can I group cash products into categories?

This is not possible at the moment. You will have to create a separate product per item. Why add a category? You would like to add categories if you have several types of a certain item. Think of a newspaper, for example. You would then like to link the cash register item to the category so that you only have a newspaper button. If you click on it, you have the possibility to choose the right newspaper. The overview of the checkout is much quieter in that case. Do you like this addition? Cast your vote on this development.

9. How do I change the order of the cost items?

You can determine the order of the expense items yourself by dragging the cash register products.

10. Can I create a cost item without a price?

It is not possible to add a product without a price. However, it is possible to enter two products of €10.00, one with 9% VAT and one with 21% VAT. When these are selected, the price can be adjusted to the desired amount manually. By clicking on the price in the receipt, you can change it.
