Your day

Check in and out

Clock in when you arrive, record your breaks and clock out when you leave. Your paid hours feed the salary figures.

How-toBy default: Owner · Administrator · Manager · SellerWhere: Check-inChecked 8 Oct 2026Step 14 of 17 · Running the shop floor

Owners can change what each role may do.

Check-in is the shop's clock: it records when each person arrives, pauses and leaves, and those hours feed straight into the salary figures.

What happens next

Where the rules are set

Break limits live in MANAGE › Settings › Check-in and breaks. Paid break (minutes) is how long a break stays paid; Break-exceeded grace (minutes) adds minutes before managers are alerted.

The same screen sets the Cutoff hour and Auto-close past the cutoff for shifts nobody checked out of. All of it, step by step: Check-in rules: paid breaks, the cut-off and opening the day.

If you see this…

  • On screen

    Today hasn't been opened at this location yet.

    What to do

    Your shop opens the day before anyone clocks in. Open it on New Sale first (Opening float: open the day and count the cash), then check in.

  • On screen

    You don't have any location assigned yet.

    What to do

    Ask a manager to add the shop to your user (Add someone to the team).

  • On screen

    You're not assigned to that location.

    What to do

    Pick one of your own shops, or ask a manager to add this one to your user.

  • On screen

    You already have an open shift. Check out first.

    What to do

    You are still clocked in from earlier. Tap Check out, then check in at the new shop.

Good to know

  • The timer turns red once a break runs into unpaid time.
