A deposit is an amount added to the sale of a product, for example the deposit on the bottles of a case of drinks. At the register, you have nothing more to do: the deposit comes along with the item.

Before you start ​

  • Your role must allow selling (permission Sell at the register).
  • The product must have a deposit. A manager creates it in Catalog > Deposits, then chooses it on the product record (Deposit section), or links it to a category.

The product record, Deposit section: Choose a deposit checked, Consigne 6 bouteilles · $0.60 chosen

Selling an item with a deposit ​

To sell an item that has a deposit:

  1. Open Sell > Sell.

  2. Scan the item, or look it up in Search products and click it in the list.

    The word Cola typed in Search products, the 6-bottle case outlined in the list

The item goes into the cart. Under its price, a Deposit line gives the amount of the deposit. It has no button of its own: it follows its item.

The cart: the 6-bottle case at $7.99 and, under it, the $0.60 Deposit line outlined

The Subtotal and the total to pay count the item's price and its deposit.

Selling several units ​

The deposit follows the quantity. To sell two cases:

  1. Click the item's line to expand it.
  2. In Quantity, type 2, then press Enter.

The deposit goes to $1.20: twice $0.60.

The cart with two cases: $15.98 for the items, $1.20 of deposit

Removing the item from the cart, with the trash can on its line, removes its deposit too.

Checking before you pay ​

Click Pay; if the Warning: no customer on the sale window opens, click Continue without a customer. On the Pay screen, the deposit appears in the summary of the Sale, on its own line, with the taxes and the total. It is also on the receipt.

The sale summary on the Pay screen: two cases, Deposit $1.20 outlined, subtotal, taxes and total

To take payment, see Making a sale.

Troubleshooting ​

The Deposit line does not appear ​

The product has no deposit: its record is set to No deposit, or the product's category does not give one. Ask a manager to check the Deposit section of the product record. The deposit is not typed at the register.
