Creating your POS

Selling and managing your products via the Terminal Pay Shop function.

What is a Point of Sale (POS)?

If you have a small shop, café, or a few products you are selling in person, then Terminal Pay Point of Sale (POS) is for you. With our POS, you can:

  • Add and track the products you have in stock
  • Combine multiple products for a quick and easy checkout
  • Take payments for a cart via cash, card or a combination of both
  • See your sales reports and all the breakdowns you need

Create a product

Creating a simple product is really easy, there is no requirement to include lots of detail but you can if you want.

  1. Open the Terminal Pay app and go to the Shop screen (3rd icon at the bottom)
  2. Tap the list icon in the top right corner
  3. Click Create new product
  4. Enter the product name and sales price, plus any details if desired
  5. Click Save

The following are optional product details:

  1. Description
  2. Image
  3. Colour
  4. Category
  5. Tags
  6. Taxes
  7. SKU
  8. Barcode
  9. Variants - e.g. Small, Medium, Large
  10. Stock - this is for tracking stock if you wish to do this
  11. Cost price - this is for reporting if you wish to track your margins
  12. Sales price - this is the amount the customer will pay, it can also be edited from within the cart

Add products to a grid

  1. Open the Terminal Pay app and go to the Shop screen (3rd icon at the bottom)
  2. Tap the blue circle with a plus sign and select which product you want to add

Edit and optimise your grid

Tap the icon next to My products on the left-hand side to re-name your grid and add products or reorder your grids.

You control which products show where on your grid so that it works for you. Simply drag and drop products to move them around:

  1. Tap and hold on to any product in your grid
  2. Drag to where you want to place it
  3. Drop and you are done

Create a folder

You can also drag and drop products on top of each other to create folders. Name the folder then drag and drop to position as required.

Create and manage a cart

From your product grid or list, you can tap on products to add them to the cart.

  • If your product has no variants and no sales price - you will be asked for a price.
  • If your product has variants - you will be asked which variant you want.
  • If your selected variant has no price - you will be asked for a price.

There are no restrictions on your products. If you want to change the price of an item in the cart or even just the total, it is possible. Need to add or remove taxes? You can do this too.

Editing is easy. Tap on the cart item you want to change, edit as required and Save.

If you just want to remove an item, select it and Remove from cart.

Taking payments for a cart is simple. Click Charge, select the payment type and then wait for the payment confirmation screen. Once the payment has been completed the cart will empty.
