Why Multiple Selection Options Are Important
Having multiple ways to select items helps speed up the sales process and accommodates different inventory setups. Whether you’re managing categories, using barcodes, or searching directly, these options ensure flexibility and efficiency.
Tips
- Use Categories for Faster Access: For frequently purchased items, grouping them by category can make it faster to locate and add them to the cart.
- Double-Check Quantities: When reviewing the cart, confirm item quantities to avoid errors at checkout.
- Quick Adjustments: Utilize the quantity adjustment buttons (+/–) to make last-minute changes directly from the cart.
This organized approach to selecting items enhances the checkout experience, making it quick and accurate for both the cashier and the customer.
