Start a cash drawer

Start a Drawer to record the employee and starting cash for a selling session. FreshlyCart prompts for a Drawer before sales and returns only when this requirement is enabled for the business.

Before you begin

Sign in to FreshlyCart POS as the employee who will open the Drawer. Count the cash that is already in the register.

Start the Drawer

1. Open the POS navigation menu.
2. Select Cash Drawer.
3. Enter the amount under Starting cash. Enter zero when the register starts without cash.
4. Select Start Drawer.
5. Review Drawer Start Confirmation.
6. Select Confirm.

What happens next

FreshlyCart creates an open Drawer assigned to the signed-in employee and records the starting cash. Cash sales and later cash movements update the Drawer totals.

Note

Starting a Drawer is not required for every merchant configuration. If FreshlyCart lets you sell without one, follow your business’s cash-control process.
