Totaling a POS Transaction

In POS, after ringing up the items a customer is purchasing:

  1. Press total. The total due displays and you can enter a payment amount.

  2. Do one of the following, depending on the type of payment you receive:

  3. If you receive a single type of tender (cash, check, or bank card), enter the amount tendered in the appropriate box, and press Enter.

If you use Verifones to process credit cards, in order to be PCI compliant you should enter the card number like 4xxxxxxxxxxx1234, where 4 is the first number of the card number, and 1234 are the last four digits.

Note: If you do not type a decimal point, the system automatically places a decimal point two places to the left of the last number you enter.

What happens next depends on your terminal setup. Usually a receipt prints on the receipt printer. You may also see a window that displays the change due and asks if you want to print an invoice for this transaction. If you tendered a check, you may be required to place the check in the receipt printer for endorsement.
