The General Settings page is where you configure your store's core business information, preferences, and profile.
About Section

Manager Override Codes
Manager Override Codes require a PIN to be entered before certain POS actions can proceed. This prevents unauthorized price changes, discounts, and refunds.
Setting Up Override PINs
- Go to User > Users and edit a manager/admin user.
- In the Manager Override section, enter a 4-6 digit numeric PIN.
- Save.
Each manager can have their own PIN. PINs are securely hashed and never displayed after creation.
Configuring Protected Actions
Under Setting > General Setting > App tab, find the Manager Override Codes section. Check which actions should require a PIN:
| Action | What It Protects |
|---|---|
| Discounts & Pricing | Editing unit prices, per-item discounts, line discounts, and transaction-level discounts. |
| Refunds | Processing a refund on a completed transaction. |
| Voids | Voiding an in-progress or completed transaction. |
When a cashier attempts a protected action, a modal appears prompting for a manager PIN. The override is logged with the approver's name, the cashier, the action, and the context.
Viewing Override Logs
Go to Setting > Override Logs to see a history of all manager overrides. This page is only visible to admin users. Each log entry shows:
- Date/time
- Action type
- Who approved it
- Which cashier requested it
Integrations
The Integrations section allows you to connect ManageRegister with third-party services and configure external integrations.
Tips
- Set your Business Type correctly — some features (like Table management) only appear for specific business types.
- Always set the correct Timezone so your reports and selling history timestamps are accurate.
- Configure these settings before going live with sales.
