- Add a product: Browse the product catalog and click a product to add it
- Add a custom amount: Enter an amount (must be greater than 0) and a description (required), then add to cart
You can mix products and custom amounts in the same transaction.
Step 4: Finalize the invoice
Click Finalize Invoice to calculate totals and review the itemized list before payment.
Step 5: Select payment method and process
Select a saved payment method or enter a new one, then click Process Payment. A receipt is generated and the transaction is linked to the customer’s account.
Troubleshooting
Point-of-Sale option not visible? Confirm you have permission to process payments and that Point-of-Sale is enabled for your organization.
Can’t select a customer? Confirm the customer exists in your customer list.
Payment processing failed? Verify Stripe is connected and the customer’s payment method is valid.
Custom amount requires a description? Enter a clear description — it appears on receipts and is required for all custom amount items.
