Opening the store
Retail starts before the first sale.
01
Catalog readiness
Products, SKUs, categories, variants, prices, images, and availability need to be ready before opening.
02
Counter setup
Cash drawer, scanner, receipt flow, staff access, and payment methods are part of the daily checklist.
03
Branch context
A multi-branch store needs product availability, sales history, and reporting by location.
Checkout path
A sale moves quickly, but every step matters.
The counter flow stays fast, but it still records the product, customer, staff, branch, payment, receipt, and movement context the store needs later.
Checkout step 01
Find item
Search, scan barcode, choose variant, or browse category to add the correct product.
Checkout step 02
Adjust basket
Apply quantity, discount, customer note, branch rule, or stock-aware choice before payment.
Checkout step 03
Take payment
Complete the transaction through the right method and keep receipt handling clear.
Checkout step 04
Review movement
Let managers see item movement, sessions, payment methods, and branch sales after the shift.
Returns and exchanges
Resolve service moments without disconnecting the sale.
Match the receipt, confirm item movement, keep customer context, and route the exchange or return into the same manager review.
