Retail store

The module for trading at your own location: POS, taking payment, tracking goods and stock, discounts and bonuses for buyers. It covers a seller's whole day — from opening a shift to the Z-report.

Who it fits

A single shop, a chain of locations and a store-warehouse that sells one or two products, but a lot and quickly.

What is included

Core component

  • Point of sale — receipts, shifts, discounts, refunds, split payment, cash collection and the Z-report.

Optional components

  • Inventory — goods in, stock, stock counts and transfers between locations.
  • Clients — the buyer card and purchase history.
  • Loyalty — points on purchases, tiers and promo codes.
  • Payroll — a seller commission, the timesheet and payouts.
  • Finance — expenses, profit and customer debts.

Three scenarios

ScenarioWho it is forWhat it sets up
🏪 Single shopOne location with an assortment"Size × Colour" variant axes, starting categories for clothing, footwear and accessories
🏬 Chain of storesSeveral locations under one standardSwitches on inventory, blocks selling below zero, adds a "Compatibility" attribute and accessory categories
📦 Store-warehouseOne or a few products, often by weightUltra-simple interface mode, exact stock, the shortest path to a receipt

The scenario is picked at connection and can be changed later; the data is kept.

How the day goes

  1. Opening a shift. The cashier opens a shift and enters the float — every receipt of the day collects inside it.
  2. A sale. Items are found by name or scanned. A discount goes on a line or on the whole receipt, and payment can be split between cash and card.
  3. A refund. Made against the original receipt: the money goes back to the buyer, the goods back into stock. Refunds can be partial.
  4. Receiving goods. A supplier receipt is recorded in inventory with purchase prices — cost of goods and profit are counted from them.
  5. Closing a shift. Cash collection and the Z-report: revenue, cash on hand, any discrepancy.
The «Sales» section: a list of receipts with date, amount, payment method and statusThe «Sales» section: a list of receipts with date, amount, payment method and status
Every receipt for a period with filters by cashier, payment and status

Stock tracking

  1. Goods in. A receipt is entered with quantity and purchase price, creating a batch that cost of goods is counted from.
  2. A sale. Write-off follows the company rule: earliest expiry first or earliest arrival first.
  3. Stock count. Counting is recorded in a document and applied in one operation: surpluses and shortages go into the books.
  4. Reordering. A minimum stock level is set per product; anything below it lands in the "time to order" list.
  5. Transfer between locations. Goods leave one location and are received at another. Until receipt is confirmed, they count as in transit.

Regular buyers

  • A card is created right at the POS from a phone number.
  • Points are earned as a percentage of a receipt, and tiers raise the rate as the total grows.
  • A promo code is checked at the sale.
  • A refund reduces the buyer's accumulated total and the tier recalculates.
  • A receipt can be sent to the buyer by email or in a message.

For example, in a corner shop it could look like this: 3 % for everyone, 5 % from 5 000 ₽ of purchases, 7 % from 20 000 ₽. More detail is in Loyalty.

What to set up after connecting

  • Catalog and categories — without them the POS is empty.
  • Barcodes — with a scanner a receipt is rung up several times faster.
  • Cashier permissions — the Employee role does not open the catalog, inventory and reports. If a seller needs more, add access in their card.
  • Discounts and loyalty — point rules and promo codes for campaigns.
  • A second branch — with several locations, create them right away: stock and shifts are counted per location.

What to look at in reports

  • Revenue by day and location, average check, number of receipts.
  • Top products and slow movers — the ABC analysis.
  • Profit with cost of goods in the Reports section.
  • Cash discrepancies through shift Z-reports.

Frequently asked

We forgot to close a shift yesterday. The shift closes with the current date, and the cash discrepancy shows in the Z-report. The sales are kept.

A product ran out with a buyer at the till. By default selling below zero is allowed: stock goes negative and is corrected by the next goods-in. For strict accounting turn on "Block selling below zero".

We need to weigh goods. Turn on "Weighing mode" in POS settings: a weight field appears on the receipt, and with connected scales the weight fills in itself.

We have several locations. Create branches: stock, shifts and revenue are counted per location, and summary reports bring them together.

In short

  • The module is built around the POS: shift, receipt, refund, Z-report.
  • Inventory, customers and loyalty are added as you grow.
  • The scenario sets categories, attributes and how strict stock accounting is.
  • Branches count stock and revenue separately, and reports bring them together.
