Cash Register
The Cash Register settings let you create and manage the registers (terminals) used in your store. Each register can track its own sales, Z-Reports, and petty cash separately.
Adding a Register
- Go to Setting > Cash Register.
- Click "New Cash Register".
- Fill in:
- Name: A label for the register (e.g., "Front Counter", "Range Register").
- Description: Optional notes about the register's purpose or location.
- POS Product Categories: The categories this register shows on the POS. Leave empty to show all. Use this to give the front desk and the back office different product views.
- Roles That Can Use This Register: Which roles can pick this register. Leave empty to allow every role. Owners can always use it.
- Card Terminal: The card terminal at this register. See Card Terminal per Register.
- Click Save.
Workstations
Together, categories and roles turn a register into a workstation. For example:
| Register | POS Product Categories | Roles That Can Use It |
|---|---|---|
| Front Desk | Range time, memberships, rentals | Front Desk |
| Pro Shop | Firearms, ammunition, accessories | Manager, Admin |
A Front Desk user's register picker then lists only the Front Desk register, so they only see front-desk products.
Card Terminal per Register
If your store has more than one card terminal (for example POS1 and POS2, each set up as its own payment method), set each register's Card Terminal so cashiers can't pick the wrong one.
- Cashiers see only their terminal. At a register with a terminal set, the POS only offers that terminal's payment method. The other terminals' methods are hidden. Cash, invoice and any method with no terminal are always shown.
- It follows the register they picked. Switching registers changes which card method is offered.
- It can't be bypassed. If a card method that belongs to another register's terminal is somehow selected, the sale is refused with a "Wrong terminal" message and the card isn't charged.
- Signatures use it too. Customers sign on this register's terminal. See Signing on the Card Terminal.
- Leave it empty to show every payment method at that register, as before.
The picker lists the terminals already set on your payment methods. Add the terminals there first (Payment Methods > Device).
Register List
The list shows:
| Column | Description |
|---|---|
| Name | Register name |
| Description | Optional description |
| Active | Whether the register is currently in use |
| Created at | When the register was set up |

Click Edit to update a register's name, description, or active status.
Tips
- Create a register for each physical terminal location.
- If a user's role changes and they can no longer use their current register, they're asked to pick one of their own.
- Deactivate registers that are no longer in use instead of deleting them — this preserves historical data.
- Make sure cashiers select the correct register when starting their shift for accurate Z-Report reconciliation.
