Selling at the till

Sale options: customers, minimum prices and receipts

Decide whether a sale needs a customer and which details, what happens under the minimum price, and what the till shows.

How-toBy default: Owner · AdministratorWhere: MANAGE › Settings › Sale optionsChecked 21 Oct 2026Step 8 of 19 · Setting up your shop

Owners can change what each role may do.

Sale options holds the rules for every single sale. Naming a customer on each one builds a record you can use later (receipts by email, loyalty points, a history per person) but adds a step to every ticket.

Before you start

  • By default only owners and administrators can change these rules; managers see the screen read-only.

Sale options on a phone, with the below-minimum price policy set to manager approval

Each choice applies to every sale in every shop; tap Save when you are done.

Steps

  1. Step 1
  2. Step 2

    Under Customer at the till, choose Every sale names a customer or Walk-ins allowed — a customer is optional.

  3. Step 3

    Switch on the details a customer must have: Email is mandatory, Phone is mandatory, ID is mandatory, Comment is mandatory.

    • They apply whenever a customer is added to a sale.
  4. Step 4

    Choose the Below-minimum price policy: Allow, Require manager approval or Block.

    Switch on Email receipt on validate, Barcode scanning or Quantity steppers if you want them.

  6. Step 6

    Tap Save.

What happens next

  • Sales from now on follow the new rules. Sales already made don't change.
  • Tips have a page of their own, Tips, next to this one: whether to ask, what customers can choose and who gets them (Tips: what customers can choose and who gets them).
  • With walk-ins allowed, a sale can close with nobody named, but a layaway still needs a customer.
  • With Email receipt on validate on, each finished sale emails the receipt to a customer who has an email, unless Sale receipt is switched off in Email templates: the wording of every email.
  • With Require manager approval, a ticket under the minimum needs a manager's yes: Below-minimum approvals.

What each option does

Customer at the till: with Every sale names a customer, staff pick or add a customer before a sale can close. With walk-ins allowed, they add one only when it matters.

Below-minimum price policy: what happens when a ticket is under the combined minimum of its lines. Require manager approval needs a manager's phone or PIN before the sale goes through. Allow lets the sale through, but the till still asks for a manager's approval first. Block refuses the sale, even after a manager has approved it. Every sale under the minimum is marked in Invoices.

Barcode scanning adds a Scan button to the till. Quantity steppers add + and − buttons to product cards and cart lines.

Questions

Who can change these settings?
Owners and administrators by default. The owner can give the permission to others: What each role can do.
Should we name a customer on every sale?
It depends how you sell. A named customer gets receipts by email, loyalty points and a history; a walk-in buying one lipstick may not want to give a name. You can change it any time.

If you see this…

  • On screen

    Customer required

    What to do

    This is the till's sale button when Every sale names a customer is chosen and no customer is on the sale.

  • On screen

    This sale is below minimum price and selling below minimum is disabled in settings.

    What to do

    The policy is Block, so the sale is refused even after a manager approves it. To let a manager's approval through, choose Require manager approval.

Good to know

  • A till left open picks up a change once you leave New Sale and come back, or reload the page.
