Ring up a sale

Build a cart, apply discounts and tips, assign staff, and take card, cash, or split payment at the register.

Last updated 2026-06-29

The register is where you ring up everything that happens at the counter — a service you just finished, a bottle of shampoo, or both on one ticket. Open it from POS in the sidebar.

Pick a layout

The register has two layouts, and you can switch any time from the top of the page:

  • Counter — compact, good for a phone or a small front-desk screen.
  • Wide — cart and item picker side by side, good for a full monitor or tablet.

Your choice is remembered on that device.

Build the cart

  1. Add items

    Search or browse the item picker to add services and products. You can also type or scan a barcode / SKU to drop a product straight in — use a hardware scanner or your device camera.

  2. Set quantity and discounts

    Adjust quantity on any line. Apply a per-line discount as a percentage or a fixed amount.

  3. Assign staff

    Set the staff member on each line so sales and tips are credited to the right person. A ticket can have different staff on different lines.

  4. Add a tip

    Use the tip selector to add a tip. On a multi-staff ticket you can split the tip across the people who worked it.

The totals panel shows the running subtotal, any discounts, the tax line, tips, and the grand total as you go.

Attach a client (optional)

Attach a client to the sale so they get a receipt and the purchase shows in their history. If they're new, use quick-create to add a walk-in on the spot — name only, with optional email or phone if you want to send a receipt.

Take payment

Choose a payment method at checkout:

  • Card — charge a paired Stripe card reader. See Take card payments with a reader.
  • Cash — enter the amount tendered and the register shows the change due.
  • Split — take part on card and part in cash on the same ticket.

Receipts

After payment, the receipt dialog appears. Send it by email or text, or just close it for a no-receipt sale. The completed sale is now in Transactions, where you can re-send the receipt later.
