# Pay-In & Pay-Out on the POS
> Learn what pay-ins and pay-outs are, when to use them, and how to perform one on the POS
### Introduction
Pay-ins and pay-outs help stores manage cash flow throughout the day.
These functions are used to manually add or remove cash from the register and are recorded in both the POS and the Back Office for visibility.
Whether you’re doing a quick vendor payment, dropping excess cash for security, or adding change to a busy till, this guide walks you through how to handle pay-ins and pay-outs step-by-step.
***
### What is a Pay-In or Pay-Out?
* **Pay-In** – When cash is *added* to a till.
* **Pay-Out** – When cash is *removed* from a till.
These are manual cash adjustments typically used for operational needs and tracked through the POS and Back Office.
***
### Common Use Cases
**Pay-Ins (adding cash to the till):**
* Adding extra change to a till after a high-cash day.
* Replacing cash accidentally removed.
* Receiving a cash return from an employee or vendor.
* For example, if an employee returns unused petty cash from a previous pay-out.
* Western Union money transfer cash.
**Pay-Outs (removing cash from the till):**
* Dropping excess cash once the till exceeds a certain limit (safe drop).
* Paying out a lottery winner.
* Paying a vendor for a delivery.
✏️ **Note:** Some stores may disable pay-ins and pay-outs entirely based on internal procedures.

### Adjusting Pay-In and Pay-Out Settings
To set permissions or limits for pay-ins and pay-outs:
1. Go to **Back Office > [POS Settings](/cashier-and-till-management/till-management/customize-your-pos-settings).**
2. Locate the section for **Pay-In and Pay-Out Limits.**
3. Set a **maximum amount** that a cashier can perform without manager approval.
These settings help control access and ensure secure cash handling.
