How to let staff sign in on the till with a PIN, and how to invite someone to change the till in the builder.

There are two kinds of access. Staff sign in on the till with a PIN to sell. People you invite by email can change the till itself in the builder. Both are handled under Staff in the builder, and changes there apply at once, without saving a new version.

Staff on the till

  1. Open Staff in the builder.
  2. Under Staff and PINs, press Add someone.
  3. Type a name, choose a role and a PIN of 4 to 6 digits, and press Add.

The roles:

  • Cashier: sells, holds tabs, takes payments.
  • Manager: also refunds, voids and closes the shift.
  • Owner: everything, and changes the till.

Tell each person their PIN in person: it cannot be read back, only replaced with Change PIN. Sign out stops someone from signing in until you press Let back in. Until you add your own staff, the demo PINs work (1234 cashier, 0000 manager, 9999 owner). They stop as soon as you add someone. More in Staff and PINs and Roles and permissions.

People who can change the till

At the bottom of Staff, under People who can change this till:

  1. Press Invite by email.
  2. Type their email and choose a role: Editor or Owner.
  3. Press Add and email them. They get a link that opens the till.

They sign in to getpos with their own email, and the till shows up in their list as Shared with you. This is access to the builder only: if they also sell, give them a PIN above.

What each role may do:

  • Editor: changes the products, look and rules, and publishes.
  • Owner: also adds people, applies for real payments and decides which bank account the money goes to.

The person who created the till is always an owner and cannot be removed. An editor can leave with Leave this till. If no email could be sent, the builder shows a link: send it to them yourself and ask them to sign in with the email you added.
