To troubleshoot the cash drawer

  2. In the Back Office, check the user roles to ensure that the employee that is signed in has permission to use the cash drawer.
  3. Check SettingsĀ > Company Options to see if Enable Drawer Checkout is selected.
  4. If Enable Drawer CheckoutĀ is selected, ensure the following:
    • In the Back Office, check user roles to ensure that the employee can close orders.
      • Use Employee Shifts should only be used if the selected user role will not be using the cash drawer.
      • Use Drawer Shifts is the only selection that will allow access to the cash drawer.
    • In the Point of Sale app settings, ensure that the cash drawer has a name associated with it.
    • Ensure the receipt printer is set as the default.
  5. Check the physical connection. Ensure the cash drawer cable is plugged into the port labeled CASH DRAWER on the terminal.
