A cash sale is paid the moment you make it — no due date, no chasing. Ring it up, take the money, hand over a receipt. Here's the counter flow from start to finish.
What You'll Need
Before you start:
- A Bluetooth thermal printer, paired and ready. See Print Receipts with a Bluetooth Thermal Printer to set one up.
- Receipt printing is a Plus feature.
- A payment method whose Type is set to Cash — that's what makes the cash-received field appear. Mark as Paid uses your Cash method automatically.
Steps
-
Start a cash sale. On the Dashboard, tap New Cash Sale. Pick the customer (or leave it blank for a walk-in).
-
Add the items. Open the Items tab, tap Add Item, and add what the customer is buying. The total updates as you go.
-
Tap Mark as Paid. This records the full amount to your Cash method and, with a printer set up, opens the Cash & receipt screen automatically.
-
Enter the cash received. Under CASH RECEIVED, type what the customer handed you — or tap a quick-cash chip (Exact or a note amount) to fill it fast.
-
Read the change. A line shows CHANGE DUE: with the amount to hand back — or Exact — no change. If it reads SHORT BY:, they haven't given enough yet.
-
Tap Print. The receipt prints with the sale, the Cash tendered, and the Change lines. Done — hand it over.
Good to Know
- Reprint anytime. Open the cash sale, tap the send/share button, and choose Print receipt. It reprints the same receipt with the original cash and change — it won't ask again.
- The cash field is optional. Skip it and the receipt still prints; you just won't get the Cash tendered and Change lines.
- Adjust the quick-cash chips. Tap Edit amounts on the Cash & receipt screen to set the note denominations you handle most.
- Change the wording (Cash tendered, Change) or the receipt layout — see Customize Your Thermal Receipt.
- No printer? You can still make the cash sale and mark it paid — you just won't get the receipt screen or a printout.
