How to run POS payments

POS supports keypad mode for fast custom totals and products mode for cart-based checkout.

Before you start

  • Choose the receiving account first.
  • If using products mode, check products and prices are up to date.
  • Keep your POS device visible to both staff and customer.

Expected result

You generate a checkout QR in seconds, customer pays, and POS confirms before you move to the next order.

  1. 1

    Open Dashboard and click POS.

    Confirm your receiving account for this checkout session.

  3. 3

    Select the receiving bank account.

    Choose mode: Keypad (manual amount) or Products (cart checkout).

    If in Keypad mode, enter the amount to charge.

  6. 6

  8. 8

  9. 9

    Ask customer to scan and complete payment on their phone.

When to use each mode

Best for speed and variable totals (market stalls, quick service, ad-hoc pricing).

Products mode

Best for itemised sales, repeat menus, and reporting by product.
