Using the register day-to-day

The register screen is designed for speed: large cart, touch access to products, instant search, one-click checkout.

Process a sale

Add products to the cart

Three ways to add a product:

1. Touch: tap the product card in the central pad. The product is added to the cart with quantity 1.
2. Barcode: scan with the USB scanner. AuraPOS detects the code automatically and adds the product (or increments the quantity if already in the cart).
3. Search: type the start of the name in the search bar. Results appear in real time.

Change quantity or remove a product

• + / − on the cart line to adjust the quantity
• 🗑 to remove the line entirely
• Click on the line to enter a custom quantity via keyboard

Apply a discount

Click % Discount in the action bar. You can:

• Apply a percentage discount (e.g. 10%) to the whole cart
• Apply an amount discount (e.g. 2.50 €)
• Apply a discount on a single line (right-click the line → Discount)

The discount is printed on the receipt with details (rate, amount, total before/after).

Associate a customer

Click Customer to search or create one. If the customer has a pricing profile (Price 1 to 4) and multi-pricing is enabled in settings, prices automatically adjust for all products in the cart.

Choose the payment method

Click Payment when the cart is ready. The payment methods window appears:

• Cash — enter the amount given, AuraPOS calculates the change
• Bancontact — for Belgian terminals
• Visa / Mastercard
• Bank transfer — for deferred sales (the invoice will be generated)
• Meal voucher or Eco-voucher
• Cashdro — if enabled, direct communication with the cash recycler

You can combine multiple methods on a single sale (e.g. €50 cash + remainder by Bancontact).

Print the receipt

Printing is automatic after validation if the option is enabled in Settings > Printer. Otherwise, a Print button appears on the confirmation screen.

The receipt includes:

• Header: shop name, address, VAT, CBE
• Line details (product, quantity, unit price, total)
• Subtotal, discounts, VAT broken down by rate
• Total including VAT
• Payment method(s) and change
• Custom footer

Look up an old receipt

Click Receipts in the main menu. You can search by:

• Receipt number
• Date / date range
• Amount
• Customer

From a found receipt, you can reprint it, cancel it (generates a credit note), or generate the A4 invoice.

Close the day (Z)

At the end of the day, click Z close in the main menu. AuraPOS generates a Z report with:

• Day total per payment method
• VAT breakdown
• Number of receipts
• Cash discrepancies (if opening and closing cash counts are entered)

The Z receipt is automatically printed and stored in Journals > Z list. The Z close is required before opening a new business day.

Keyboard shortcuts

• F1 — show help
• F2 — search a product
• F3 — search a receipt
• F4 — select a customer
• F12 — validate the cart (checkout)
• Esc — close the current window / cancel

Tips

• Auto-lock: configurable in Settings > Security. Locks the screen after X minutes of inactivity, the user must re-enter their PIN.
• Touch vs. mouse: AuraPOS automatically detects touchscreens and adjusts button sizes. On touchscreens, buttons are larger.
• Multiple cashiers: create one account per user in Settings > Users. Each has their PIN, permissions, and their name appears on the receipt.
