Introduction
This guide provides an overview of SchoolCash Register credit card purchases and how to process in-person transactions using the SchoolCash POS system. It also covers the current refund methods available and upcoming card refund capabilities.
SchoolCash Register Credit Card Purchases
SchoolCash POS enables schools to accept credit card payments for in-person payments through the SchoolCash Register. Districts must ensure that devices are paired with a cash drawer during implementation to leverage this feature.
- In the SchoolCash Register, first select the student associated with this transaction.
- On the checkout screen, select the items being purchased.
- Select the Point of Sale option in the checkout buttons. This prompts the POS device to collect payment.
Note: SchoolCash Register purchases using the Point-of-Sale device are included on the Close Out report and are added to the ledger in SchoolCash Accounting.
POS transactions display on the Close Out report under the Credit Card section but are not part of the physical deposit. Categories are credited when direct deposits are received.
Refunds for SchoolCash Register Purchases
Currently, SchoolCash Register transactions can only be refunded via cash or cheque. However, the capability to refund SchoolCash Register POS transactions back to the card used for payment is under development and will be available soon.
