Cheese, candy, and other specialty shops tend to sell some items in bulk by weight. Here we’ll show how to ring up one of the unit priced items we created in our BackOffice guide.
For Cash, enter how much the customer gives you and tap 'Calculate Change' to confirm.
Tender buttons below ‘Calculate Change’ update dynamically based on the total transaction amount if it is over $20. For example, a total of 28.23 will have the buttons 29.00, 30.00, and 40.00.
Add customers to the customer list to track their contact details and the purchases they make at your business. With an active internet connection, customers sync to BackOffice allowing you to use MailChimp Integration to send marketing emails.
