Point of sale

Using POS on a phone or tablet

The till works on a phone or tablet, not just a desktop — useful for selling on the floor, at an event, or from a handheld device.

Getting on the till from a mobile

  1. Open the app in your phone/tablet browser and sign in as usual.
  2. Go to Sales → Point of Sale.
  3. The screen rearranges itself for the smaller display.

What's different on a small screen

  • The cart becomes a slide-up/drawer panel so the product tiles get the full width. Tap the cart button to expand it and review the basket.
  • Pop-up screens (checkout, refund) open full-screen so they're easy to use with a thumb.
  • Everything else — adding products, taking payment, receipts — works exactly the same as on desktop.

Tips

  • A tablet in landscape gives you the closest experience to a counter till.
  • Scanning works if your device's browser can use a connected/Bluetooth scanner, or you can search by name.
  • For receipt printing and cash drawers on mobile, the same Chrome/Edge USB rules apply — see Connect a cash drawer & receipt printer.

Common problems

  • Tiles feel small → rotate to landscape, or reduce the number of tile columns in Setup → POS.
  • Can't see the cart → tap the cart button/badge to slide it up; it's hidden by default on phones to give products more room.
