Payment Due

When a sale is being processed, the pos window automatically adds up the amounts of various items that have been scanned. This aggregate amount appears on top of the "Due" button as shown in the screenshot below.

However this amount does not reflect the actual amount customer has to pay if there are sale tax and discounts to be factored in.

For this reason, when all items have been processed, you would need to know the exact amount to collect from the customer.  For this, you only need to click the "Due" button.

If there is no membership discount involved, the correct amount will appear immediately as "Total : 149.00", just for example.

This total amount will also appear in the extra slideshow screen facing the customer, so that she knows how much to tender.

If however the customer is a member then you will need to first enter her member ID in the Member ID box before the system can tell you how much is the total. This is because the program needs to factor in the member discount in working out the total.

Things gets even a little more complicated if you have already set the system to round up the total if payment is by cash.  This you can do via the Required Settings window. The checkbox "Cash/Card" will be visible on the pos window because of this rounding setting.

See the screenshot here for a clearer picture.

This means that the total amount will differ slightly by a few cents between cash and non-cash payment.

By selecting (by cash) or unselecting (by card) this checkbox the system will be able to tell you exactly the total amount - even in the case of split payment.

Therefore you can use this "Due" button and "Cash/Card" checkbox during sale closure to know and to show the customer on the slideshow screen how much she has to pay.
