POS Settings Overview
Who this is for
Admins configuring how the POS behaves for checkout, staff access, and core financial setup.
Before you start
- Confirm the correct brand.
- Confirm whether the setting is a shared definition or still needs shop-level enabling.
- Check whether the change affects live checkout.
What this section is for
POS Settings controls the main business rules that the POS uses during service.
Use this section for:
- tenders and checkout methods
- tax and surcharge logic
- departments and reporting groupings
- reason lists for high-risk actions
- POS user access
- payment vendor connections for on-premise payment gateways
How to use this section
- Payment Methods: define tenders staff can use at checkout.
- Tax & Surcharge: define automatic or manual financial additions.
- Departments: group items for reporting and structure.
- Reasons: create standard reason choices for controlled actions.
- POS Users: manage cashier and manager login records.
- Payment Vendors: manage installed payment gateway vendors and per-shop vendor setup.
Common tasks
- Add a new tender: start with Payment Vendors if the method depends on a vendor, then update Payment Methods.
- Review tax or service charge behavior: use Tax & Surcharge.
- Add or disable a cashier account: use POS Users.
- Standardize void or pay-out reasons: use Reasons.
What changes after you save
Many POS Settings records are shared setup records. Some still require shop-level enabling or follow-up configuration.
Always verify changes that affect payment flow, tax totals, service charge, or staff access.
If something goes wrong
- Confirm whether the setting is brand-level, shop-level, or both.
- Check whether a linked vendor or shop setting is missing.
- Test the change in the target checkout flow before editing additional settings.
When to ask owner/admin
- The change affects money handling or tax reporting.
- The tender depends on a gateway or vendor you cannot verify.
- You are unsure whether a user group or vendor should be changed for all shops.
