Checkout and Cart Management
In this guide, we'll show you how to make efficient use of the core checkout and cart management features.
Getting Started and Overview
When you open the Shore POS App, you're taken directly to the checkout. Here you can check out items and always have a clear overview of the current cart.
Scanning and Adding Items
In the search bar, you'll find a barcode icon. Use this icon to scan items and add them directly to the cart. Note that the barcode must be assigned to the item for the system to recognize the correct product.
Search Filters and One-Off Products
To the right of the barcode icon is the filter option. This makes it easier to search for specific items. Next to it, you'll find a "+" icon. Use this icon to add one-off products that aren't part of your inventory. Alternatively, you can create a one-off product by double-tapping a category.
Applying Discounts
The "%" icon lets you apply a discount to the entire cart. You can enter the discount either as a percentage or as a fixed euro amount.
Parking a Cart
The "P" button next to the percent icon is used to park the cart. This is useful for saving the current cart for later. Tapping "P" again shows all parked carts.
Adding a Deposit
Using the three-dot menu above the cart, you can add a deposit and collect a partial amount before the service is provided. Enter the amount as a percentage or a fixed sum — the Shore POS automatically creates the deposit invoice as well as a parked cart for the later final invoice.
Adding a Comment
In the three-dot menu above the cart, below "Add Deposit," you'll find the speech bubble icon. Use it to add notes to the cart. There are two types of notes:
- Internal Notes: These are only visible to you and your staff.
- External Notes: These also appear on the customer's receipt.
