Point of Sale (POS)

Point of Sale (POS)

Introduction

Tagrain is an application that scales up as the business scales.
One of the ways it keeps pace with the growth is by allowing easy addition of Stores and POS Registers. 
Adding POS or Web Registers will impact your Tagrain subscription.
The section below explains in detail the process of adding stores and registers in Tagrain. 
Home > Setup > Store Management > POS
The Store Management Screen has all the settings required for managing store operations including definition of Stores, POS Registers, Receipt Formats, and setting up Sales Targets for the company.

Name:

Store:
Select the Store the POS is connected to. Remember that a POS cannot move from one store to another.
