Introduction
Items can be added individually to SchoolCash POS devices via the SchoolCash Catalog. They must be fixed-price items but are not required to be attached to students. Additionally, items do not need to be set as Public or Unlisted. Please note that items with attached forms cannot be purchased through SchoolCash POS devices at this time.
Each POS device is configured to a specific school, so users will only see items from their school available on the device. If the school has multiple devices, the items will be accessible for purchase on all devices associated with that school.
There are two ways to collect in-person credit card payments from your community: adding items directly to the POS device for independent use or integrating the POS device with SchoolCash Register (SCR). The latter method is currently the only way to associate a student with a purchase.
Adding Items to SchoolCash POS Devices
To add an item to a POS device, follow these steps:
- Open the SchoolCash Catalog and select the item you want to add to the POS device.
- Click Add to Point of Sale Device.
- Once the item is added, it will be available for purchase on the POS device. Open the app on the device, click View Items, and select the item from the list.
Removing Catalog Items from POS Devices
Items are automatically removed from POS devices once they expire. However, they can also be removed manually. To manually remove an item, select it in the SchoolCash Catalog and click Remove from Point-of-Sale Device (POS).
Filtering to See Items Added to a POS Device
There are two ways to view only the items added to POS devices in the SchoolCash Catalog:
- Click the POS button on the SchoolCash Catalog page.
- In the List of Items dropdown, select Point-of-Sale.
