The setup page under the point of purchase (POP) tab allows you to control some basic settings for your inventory purchases. These settings can be changed for individual transactions but will be the default when making a sale.
Sales Receipt Type - This option is used to select the receipt paper format that you will be using. If you use standard 8 x 11-inch paper you will want to choose the 80-column. If you use the spool-style receipt printer then you will select the 40 column. You also will have the option to email your customer the receipt when making a sale.
Default Payment Type - When entering a POP payment this will be the payment type that always appears first. So, if you think 80% of your customers will be using a credit card it would make sense to set that as the default and only have to change it for customers using cash or check.
Excess Payment Option - This is the default setting for how any excess payment (change) will be handled when a ring up a customer through the Point of Purchase.
Return as Change - This is what we are all familiar with. You will return the excess payment back to the customer with cash.
Excess Payment Option (Unchecked) - On the enter payment screen (pictured below) you will find a box giving you the option to apply any excess payment amount to other open charges on the customer's account. Choosing this option will default that as your preference while leaving the box unchecked.
Excess Payment Option (Checked) - Choosing this option will default the "apply any excess amount" box to being checked.
Item Discount Type and Percent - These two fields give you the ability to apply a discount to an invoice at the time of the sale. You may choose to set the discount up as either a percentage or a dollar amount.
Receipt Header and Footer - Use these fields to add a message at the top and/or bottom of your sales receipt. This can be handy for adding your studio name and contact information to your receipt.
