If you have a single cash drawer at your business, you will not need to set up additional drawers; Orchid POS comes with one drawer by default.
In Office > Back Office Settings > Setup Options, you will want to make sure that "Shared Drawer" is turned on.
If you have multiple drawers, you have two options:
- You can create a drawer that each salesperson is responsible for and will count in and out and the start and end of their shift (see Count In/Out)
- You can create a drawer for each physical register station (for example: Front, Back; Aisles 1, 2, 3), with each getting counted at the start and end of day (see Count In/Out)
- For drawers assigned to a physical location, you will click Remember Drawer Location the first time you log in to Orchid POS at a register station. Chrome will hold this setting unless cookies are cleared.
- For drawers assigned to a physical location, you will click Remember Drawer Location the first time you log in to Orchid POS at a register station. Chrome will hold this setting unless cookies are cleared.
To create a new drawer:
- Go to Office > Back Office Settings > Cash Drawer Options
- If you are setting up a drawer for each physical register station, turn on "Remember Drawer Location."
- Click NEW CASH DRAWER
- Assign this drawer a name and, if you are creating a drawer for each employee, assign the an employee. Click Create to save the new drawer.
