Quick scanning

Use the barcode search field at the top of the item selector. Scanning a barcode immediately checks the matching item and adds it to the cart with a quantity of 1.

Cart Items

Each item in the cart shows stock availability, a quantity input, unit price, and an optional discount. The line total updates in real time.

Try it

Change the selling quantity, enter a discount amount, and click the % / $ button to toggle between percentage and fixed discount modes. The line total recalculates instantly.

Quantity limits

You cannot sell more than the current stock count. The quantity input is capped at the item's available inventory to prevent overselling.

Discounts

Two discount modes are available for each item in the cart.

Percentage (%)
Enter a value from 0 to 100. The discount is calculated as a percentage of the line's gross total (unit price times quantity).
Fixed amount ($)
Enter a dollar amount to subtract directly from the line total. The discount is applied once to the entire line, not per unit.

Per-item discounts

Discounts are applied per line item, not to the whole sale. This gives you fine-grained control over pricing when different items need different promotions.

Sale Summary

The summary section at the bottom of the cashier shows the financial breakdown for the entire sale and action buttons.

Tax calculation

Tax rate and tax name are configured in Business Settings. The rate is applied to the subtotal after discounts. Only the business owner can change the tax configuration.

Out of Stock Items

When you try to add an item with zero stock, the behavior depends on your role in the business.

Role-Based HandlingLive Preview
Owner / Manager

You can update the item's stock and add it to the cart in one step.

Employee

You see an informational message and cannot add the item.

This item is out of stock. Ask a manager to update inventory.

Permissions matter

Only the business Owner or a user with the Boss role can use the "Update & Add" shortcut. Employees must wait for a manager to restock the item before it can be sold.
