Keeping your checkout experience smooth and enjoyable is a key part of making happy customers. Additionally, low error rates will mean fewer administrative headaches and costly mistakes that need to be corrected later.
Starting a Sale
To add start a sale, click "Start Sale" from your home screen, or click the Register icon 
next to the Sales tab on the left-hand side of your screen.
Clicking either of these two buttons will open up the POS screen, which looks like this:
The point of sale screen starts empty. To add an item, make sure it is first added to inventory, and then search for it using the search box at the top of the screen. The most common way to search is by using the SKU, which may be scanned directly from a tag into this box. If you don't have a scan gun or tag, you can search for the item by color, description, brand or size.
Once you select a match — a scan gun will select it automatically for you — the item will show up below the search bar as one of your line items.
You can add an unlimited number of items to a sale. Whenever you have added all your items, you can then click then click the black Pay button to accept payment for the sale.
Accepting Payments and Tendering the Sale
Once you've added all of the items in the purchase to the sale, you're ready to accept payment. First double-check that all items have been added, and that you've made any adjustments that need to be made. When you're ready, hit the Pay button at the bottom of the screen.
ConsignCloud will give you a six options for payment types: (1) Debit/Credit Card (2) Cash (3) Store Credit (if you have a customer with store credit selected) (4) Gift Card (5) Check (6) Manual Payment.
Select your payment type and then follow any instructions ConsignCloud gives you. After you've selected the payment type and amount, select Complete Sale to move to the final steps of the sale.
Printing or Emailing Receipts and Finishing the Sale
You'll be presented with a summary of your sale, and an option to print a receipt for your customer. You can also print a gift receipt (which removes the sale price), or to email the receipt to the customer (if a customer with a valid email was added to the sale). To start another sale, just click Finish.
How do you tender a split payment between multiple payment types?
If your customer would like to pay using multiple payment forms (say $10 cash and the rest on their credit card), you can accept multiple payments by inputing the correct amount for each payment method into its appropriate field.
The summary of the sale will show a breakdown of the payment methods (in this case $10 in cash and $5 via card).
