On desktop, the search panel sits above the catalog. Choose Products to filter by name, SKU or description as you type, or Barcode to scan or enter a full code and add the matching item. Switching modes keeps your product query and any unfinished barcode; the clear button clears only the current field.

On mobile, a compact search and camera control floats over the catalog while you scroll. Choose Search to open the same mode switch in a bottom drawer, then View products to return to the filtered catalog. A dot on Search indicates an active product filter.

Choose Scan camera in the floating mobile control or desktop search panel and allow camera access. Point your phone or desktop camera at one EAN, UPC or Code 128 barcode. A matching item is added automatically; items with variations ask you to choose options first.

The camera stops after one read. Choose Scan camera again for the next item. Closing the scanner, leaving checkout or switching away from the tab also stops the camera. Images are decoded on your device, not uploaded. Camera access requires HTTPS and browser permission; if unavailable, use manual entry.

Connect a scanner in keyboard mode and configure it to send Enter after each barcode. Keep Checkout open and active, then scan: no field click is needed. A matching product goes straight into the cart, or opens its variation choices. Each scan adds the item once, subject to available stock.

Automatic scanning recognizes rapid bursts of at least four characters. It pauses while you edit a field, use a dialog or drawer, or move past the desktop cart into details or payment. It does not capture scans on other pages or in background tabs. Ordinary typing and keyboard shortcuts remain available.

If your scanner sends short codes or has a slower typing delay, choose Barcode, focus the field and scan there instead. On mobile, open Search first. Codes that are unknown or shared by multiple available products show a message without adding an item.

Switch the search field to Barcode, type the full code and choose Add or press Enter. You can also focus this field for scanners that need the manual-entry fallback. Each successful submission adds the item once and clears the field for the next scan. For hands-free scanning, see automatic USB/Bluetooth scanning.

Barcode entry matches full codes, including equivalent leading-zero forms, regardless of catalog search or category filters. Unknown or duplicate codes show a message without adding an item. Location availability and stock limits still apply; if stock is updating, try again when it finishes.

Set up codes in the item barcode guide.

On desktop, the cart stays to the right of the catalog within the available workspace height. Drag its left edge to resize it, or focus the divider and use the arrow keys. The catalog and cart scroll independently so a long product list does not push checkout below the page.

On mobile and smaller tablets, a full-width checkout button shows the item count and total in its own bar above the bottom navigation and phone safe area. It stays visible while the catalog scrolls, separate from the floating scanner. Tap it to review the cart and continue through details and payment in a bottom drawer. An empty cart shows Keypad for a custom-amount sale.

Owners also see completed events in this history. Choose the Events source to isolate them; each event row opens its request, not an in-person receipt. See completing an event and the Events report for the revenue rules.

Select a sale to open its receipt-style page: status, payment method, total and time, then the subtotal, tax, discount and total. For some methods the payment detail is labelled for what it is, such as the Reference of a mobile payment or the Linked bank of a transfer. Below it, cards link to the location, the team member who sold it, the customer and every item sold with its quantity and price.

A completed in-person sale has a Void button. Confirming opens a dialog where you can add a reason. The sale stays in the history, marked Voided with the time and your reason, and it is listed under Voided Payments in the Sales report. Only completed sales can be voided.
