From the Point of Sale, both products and contracts can be sold.
Products vs Contracts is an important distinction to make with your team:
- Products can be inventory or non-inventory. These can be found in the Product Search OR added as Quickbuttons. Barcodes can be scanned into the product search to bring up an item. A product will never prompt to check in after being sold.
- Contracts are Plans you have created for Membership, Passes, Bookings, etc. Contracts sold at POS will prompt with a check-in window once completed. Contracts ask for enrollments, which then tie the contract to.
To prevent your team from mistakenly selling a Product instead of a Contract (ie, selling the Day Pass product vs selling the Day Pass contract), add a Staff Alert Note to any products that are associated with a contract. That way
The New Contract button, displayed above the Select Customer search bar, is OPTIONAL.
IMPORTANT: If this button is used to sell a contract associated with documents you want your customers to sign, they will not be prompted to sign.
If you want a contract to be completed by the customer before taking payment at POS, configure the plan on a kiosk storefront. See here for more information.
