Turn on point of sale
- In your Zepsell dashboard, open your store and go to Apps.
- Open Point of sale and press Install.
- Press Set up tills. This opens the Point of sale page in your store admin.
Add a till and pair a tablet
- Enter a Till name, such as "Front counter", and press Add till.
- The till gets a pairing code and a Pairing link. Open the link on the tablet. Or open the till site on the tablet and enter your store's address and the code.
- The till shows as Online once it's paired. Use New code to pair a different tablet, or Remove to retire the till.
Staff and PINs
With no staff added, tills open without a sign-in. To have each person sign in, add staff with a name and a PIN (4 to 8 digits). Tick Manager for anyone who can approve refunds on the till with their PIN. Without a manager, refunds are made in the store admin.
Cash and card
Tills take cash straight away, with no other setup, and keep taking cash if the internet drops.
To take cards, first connect Stripe. Then, on the Point of sale page, generate a pairing code on a Stripe reader (BBPOS WisePOS E or Stripe Reader S700) under Settings, and enter it with your shop's address under Connect reader. Card readers need an internet connection.
One stock count everywhere
The till sells the same products at the same prices as your online store, and every sale comes off the same stock. A paid sale is never refused because the recorded stock says zero. Instead it's marked Count stock so you can check the shelf.
The Point of sale page shows today's sales, cash, card, tips and refunds, and recent in-person sales with refund buttons.
Questions
Do I need special hardware?
A tablet with a web browser is enough for cash sales. For cards you need a Stripe reader. See hardware for devices Zepsell can supply.
Is this for restaurants?
For cafés, restaurants and takeaways with kiosks or kitchen screens, the Zepsell team sets up Zepsell Hospitality with you instead.
