Configuring Till Settings

Till settings help you establish consistent and secure POS operations, including starting balances, cash back limits, and end-of-day processes. Screenshot 2025-11-09 at 12.47.36 AM
  • Require Till Counting On Close: Enable this setting to require the cashier to count and enter the opening and closing till amount at the POS when they open and close a till.
  • End of Day Cutoff: Set the time when cashiers must close their tills. If a till is open past this time, the cashier will be prompted to close it.
✏️Note: The cutoff time will not automatically close an open till.
  • Starting Amount: This value is the default starting balance that pre-fills when a cashier opens a till. Cashiers can still adjust this amount if needed.
💡Tip: A good starting till amount for the day is often around $300.
  • Max Cash Back Amount: This setting establishes the absolute maximum cash back amount a shopper can request. Cash back amounts above this threshold will not be visible on the cashier or shopper displays.
✏️Note: Credit card networks typically limit maximum cash back to $200.

Setting Manager Approvals

Manager approval settings allow you to require a manager’s 6-digit PIN entry for specific POS actions or for transactions that exceed a set threshold. Screenshot 2025-11-09 at 12.50.03 AM

​
Actions Requiring Manager Approval

You can enable these settings to require manager approval for the following actions, regardless of the amount:
  • Open Cash Drawer: Opening the cash drawer outside of a standard cash transaction.
  • Open & Close Tills: Opening and closing tills when logging in and out of the POS.
  • Age Restriction Shortcut: Bypassing the full birthdate entry process with a quick confirmation button (e.g., confirming a shopper is before Jan 1, 2001).
  • Print Gift Cards: Printing gift card QR codes on receipts.

​
Thresholds for Manager Approval

For transactional actions, you can set the Maximum amount allowed without requiring manager approval:
  • Pay In: Maximum cash amount that can be added to the till without manager approval.
  • Pay Out: Maximum cash amount that can be removed from the till without manager approval.
  • Cash Back: Maximum cash back amount that can be processed without manager approval. This works in conjunction with the Max Cash Back Amount setting.
  • Refunds: Maximum total refund amount allowed per transaction without manager approval.
  • Discount (Per Transaction): Maximum total discount amount allowed per transaction without manager approval.
  • Paused Transaction: Maximum value of a paused transaction that can be retrieved and completed without manager approval.
  • Transaction Voids: Maximum total value of a transaction that can be voided without manager approval.
  • Item Voids (Per Transaction): Maximum total value of items that can be voided within a single transaction without manager approval. Screenshot 2025-11-09 at 12.53.38 AM
