Using the Point-of-sale Register

The point-of-sale (POS) feature allows you to quickly process a transaction at your campground store. POS transactions are not tied to a guest, as they are meant to be a quick way to exchange payment for goods using a digital cash register.

POS Items and Categories

Before you can use the POS Register, you must add POS items. Click POS Items from the menu under the Point of Sale section.

Click New Item to begin adding a new item. Enter all the item details in the dialog that displays, and select Save.
