Receipt Settings Overview

POS -> POS Device Global Settings -> "Receipt Settings"

"Receipt Settings" is related to printing the details in the customer's receipt after the sales transaction is successfully completed. When the sales transaction is completed, the receipt will be generated with details set by the administrator, such as store details, items with or without UPC and quantity, and other information, such as return information. The administrative users of Control Center can manage the settings related to receipt printing and also keep the minimum details to save receipt paper.

2.2 Settings for Printing Receipts 

Manage the below settings to print the details on the receipt for the customer's receipt and the store's receipt for record purposes:

1. Print Every Receipt: Enable this setting if you want to print every receipt after a sales transaction occurs. If this flag is enabled (set to YES), every receipt will be printed after the sale or action is performed.

After managing and configuring the settings, click the "Save & Close" or "Save" button to save the receipt settings.
Note: Receipt Settings will be applied globally, which means they will be applied to every store (location) for the specific account for which you have logged in. But you can also configure these settings at the store level for the individual stores (locations). For that, reach the "Locations" module. Edit the location (store) and click "Manage POS Settings" to configure the different POS settings rather than applying the POS Device Global Settings. So, you can override the POS Device Global Settings for any store as per retail business requirements.
