Wix POS Register: Selling Store Products at Your POS
Important:
This article is about the Wix POS Register for brick & mortar businesses.
If you are using POS on a mobile device, learn more about Mobile POS.
Start processing a sale by going to the Checkout tab in your POS tablet. There you can add products to the cart, apply discounts or coupons, accept payment, and more.
Tip:
All the sales you make at your point of sale are fully synced with your online store's inventory.
Step 1 | Add products or charges to the cart
You can add products to your cart by scanning them or selecting them from the Products or Favorites tabs.
You can also add a custom charge to the cart that isn't associated with a product. This is useful, for example, when you need to add extra fees or make special orders. If you use Wix Bookings, you can also book appointments and accept payment for sessions.
To add products or custom charges to the cart:
(In your POS tablet) Tap Checkout on the bottom bar.
Scan the product's barcode or select a product from the Favorites or Products tabs.
Note: If the product has product options, select them, and tap Add to Cart.
To edit the quantity, tap the product, tap the Plus
or Minus
icons, then tap Add to Cart.
