Point of sale is a counter till: add items, take the money, and Finocket writes the invoice and the payment for you. It draws stock down, posts to your books, and numbers the bill from that counter's own series.

- Add items from the catalog, or by typing or scanning a barcode or SKU. Adding the same item again bumps its quantity.
- Take the money. Cash simply records the sale. UPI shows a QR built from the counter's UPI ID for the customer to scan.
- Confirm. Finocket saves a proper invoice and its payment, draws the stock down and posts both to your books.
Tax comes from each item's Default tax %, split half to CGST and half to SGST — a counter sale is intra-state, because the customer is standing in front of you. An item with no default rate is billed at 0%, so set it on the item if it should be taxed.
Registers, and the over/short
Opening a register is optional but recommended — without one, the screen warns you that cash sales won't be reconciled. Open with your cash float at the start of the shift; at the end, closing asks for the counted cash and tells you the over or short against what Finocket expected.
Terminals
A terminal is a counter or till you sell from. Manage them under Settings → POS terminals.
- Give each terminal a name and, optionally, its own UPI ID — that is what builds this counter's payment QR at checkout. Leave it blank and the till falls back to your business profile's UPI ID.
- Point a terminal at its own numbering series so each counter's invoices run in their own sequence.
- The Counter QR is a standing, no-amount UPI code — the customer scans it and types the amount themselves. Print it for the counter. It requests money; it never settles anything inside Finocket.
- Switch a terminal to inactive to retire it: it stays on record but is no longer offered at checkout.
- Owner only. Everyone else sees a locked card, and the server refuses the change even if the screen is reached another way.
You cannot double-charge
Retrying a failed checkout settles the invoice already created rather than minting a second one. Editing the cart clears that pending invoice. So a flaky moment at the counter cannot leave you with two bills, and you cannot settle a stale basket.
Every sale is billed to a single walk-in customer.
What this screen will not do
- It will not work offline. Unlike most of Finocket, the till needs a connection.
- It will not collect the money. No card reader, no payout, no settlement.
- It will not offer UPI with no UPI ID set — on the terminal or your business profile. The button refuses with a message telling you to add one.
- It needs the Invoicing module, and only owners and assistants can record a sale.
