Attach the customer and scan the returned items as return lines. If the basket goes below zero, the difference becomes credit on that customer’s account, right at the counter.
GOOD TO KNOW AT THE COUNTERA smoother shift
A smoother shift
starts with the details.
Scan, search, and keep moving. Name the station and choose its warehouse. Finish with a receipt from a Star printer on the store’s network, or print or email the invoice.
Can customers pay on a card terminal?
Yes. A register station can have its own terminal. After the relevant application and setup, terminal payments land on the sale’s invoice. Secure keyed card entry is also available.
What happens when a return is more than the purchase?
With a customer attached, the negative difference becomes credit on that customer’s account. This register flow does not hand back cash.
Does a cashier choose store credit as a payment method?
No. When the merchant enables automatic credits, available customer credit applies by itself.
Can a cashier be limited to the register?
Yes. Register-only roles limit the workspace. A cashier PIN unlocks one sale and records who made it.
