If you accept cash, you should update your cash drawer.
To do so, tap the three horizontal bars in the lower left hand corner to access your menu,

Now tap the menu icon again,
And select “register.”

Make modifiers or notes if necessary, [tap “pickles”] then tap add.
To add a charge amount that’s not already assigned, tap the calculator in the lower right hand corner.
Type in the dollar amount, [enter “5.00”] then tap the red plus sign.
A running tally of items appears on the right-hand side.
To delete an item from the tab, swipe left on the item name.
Once you’ve rung up all the desired items, tap “charge.”
Select the tender type or split the bill between cash and credit.
If a customer is paying with credit, simply swipe the card like so.
Next, the customer can tip and sign depending on your selected settings.
Tap “new sale” and you’re ready for the next customer in line.
As the day goes on, there’s bound to be a customer who asks for a receipt or refund.
Just tap the three horizontal bars [tap menu] and select activity.
If it was a recent transaction, scroll to the transaction you want.
To locate older transactions, you can swipe the customer’s credit card, enter the receipt number, or the last four digits of the card.

Or issue a refund.
