Once you have clicked on the Point of Sale icon, you will be presented with your available Point of Sale locations. Click the “New Session” button to enter your point of sale location.

To continue, select your name from the list or (on supported systems) scan your employee barcode to sign in. If your employer has employee PINs enabled (see “Settings” for more information), input your PIN code and confirm to log in.
