Transactions
This guide covers the most common daily tasks:
- Viewing daily sales
- Processing returns
- Finding a past sale
- Understanding batch settlement
View daily sales
Owners and managers often check sales more than once per day.
- In the portal, go to Reports.
- Open Sales.
- Select a date range, like Today.
What to look at:
- Total sales
- Number of transactions
- Average ticket
- Returns and voids
Example:
- If transactions are normal but total sales is low, check for price changes or discount mistakes.
Find a past transaction
You may need this for a customer question or a return.
- Go to Transactions.
- Search by:
- Date and time
- Receipt number
- Total amount
- Cashier name
- Open the transaction to view details.
Tip: If you only know the approximate time, start with a narrow time window.
Process a return
Returns should be handled consistently.
Before you start:
- Confirm the item and condition
- Check your store return policy
- If required, confirm the customer has a receipt
Steps:
- On the terminal, open the original transaction, if possible.
- Select Return.
- Choose the item(s) being returned.
- Confirm the refund method.
- Finish the return.
If you cannot find the original sale, follow your store policy for no receipt returns.
Handle exchanges
An exchange is usually two steps:
- Return the original item
- Ring up the new item
This keeps inventory and reports accurate.
Understand batch settlement
Batch settlement is how card transactions are grouped and finalized.
Simple way to think about it:
- During the day, card payments are approved.
- At settlement, those approvals are finalized.
Good daily habit:
- At the end of the day, confirm the batch has settled.
- If it did not, follow the Troubleshooting steps.
If your store has a specific settlement time, set a reminder.
Common problems and quick checks
A customer says they were charged twice
- Search transactions for the amount and time.
- Check if one is a voided attempt.
- If you see a duplicate that is not voided, contact support.
A return failed
- Check internet on the terminal.
- Try again after a minute.
- If it still fails, note the message and contact support.
