Prestashop Point of Sale (POS) Cash Register

Prestashop Point of Sale (POS) Cash Register is yet another extension for POS to manage POS outlet effectively. The main aim of the cash register is to monitor the inflow and outflow of cash. The use of the POS is increasing every day as the merchants go on to merge their online & offline business. Not only it helps them to manage both of them effectively, but the integration is surely helping their business too.

With the increase in sales at the POS terminal, it may become difficult to track record of all the transactions. To help the merchant in such a case, the cash register can prove to be beneficial. While opening the shop, they can record an opening balance to calculate the earning at the end of the day.

The cash register holds the data of transactions that happened via different payment modes on a particular day. You can also view the list of all the orders placed through a specific payment method. It not only helps you to track transactions of the day after opening the register. But, it also helps you to calculate sales, expenditure, profits, etc. very quickly.

In order to use this module, make sure to install the following module in your Prestashop first.

• Prestashop Point of Sale System

After installing the above module, now proceed to install Prestashop Point of Sale Cash Register Module.

In order to use the POS terminal, firstly sign-in to the POS shop with the employees credential.

After signing-in to the POS outlet, you will find that the cash register is closed. You can open the register with an initial amount & some additional notes. This initial amount indicates the opening balance of the POS outlet. Now, you can proceed to take orders on POS.
