Help CenterHelp Center / Point of sale · How-to
Create one register per till, attach it to a location, rename it, move it or switch it off.
A register is one till at one of your locations. Its sales take stock from that location, and each register has its own cash drawer and shifts.
Only the shop owner can add or change registers. A Shop Manager sees the registers of their locations, read-only. Other roles do not have this tab.
Select Point of sale in the top menu, then Registers & settings.
| Field | What it does |
|---|---|
| Name | Renames the register |
| Location | Moves the register. Later sales take stock from the new location |
| Status | Active or Switched off. A switched-off register is not offered on the Till tab |
| Shift | Open or Closed. You cannot edit this here |
You can rename a register at any time. To move it or switch it off, its shift must be closed. Otherwise the page answers "Close the open shift of this register first."
Registers are not deleted, and a switched-off register still counts towards your plan. To replace a till, rename or move an existing register instead of adding a new one.
Your plan includes as many registers as you hold POS register add-ons.
A locked register cannot open a shift, sell, look up products or take returns. The till answers "This register is locked: your plan includes … POS registers. Close its open shift if it has one, then use another register or add a POS register (Plan & billing)."
A shift that is already open on a locked register can still take cash in and out, show its X-report and be closed, so the cash in the drawer is never stranded.
