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:

Note: 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.

Tip

Press tab to move between the amount tendered boxes.
