Within POS you can control whether customers will need to pay a minimum deposit to finalise the sale. If using the Special Orders feature you can also configure a separate Minimum Deposit rule for Special Order items.
Minimum Deposits can be entered as a dollar value, or as a percentage of the sale.
All fulfilled products will need to be paid in full before the sale can be finalised.
Configuring the Minimum Deposit
To configure the Minimum Deposit:
- Navigate to Settings > POS Settings > Order Settings
- Enable the setting Allow Finalise When Minimum Deposit Not Met
- Enter a value into the Minimum Deposit field
Tip: Enter either a percentage or dollar value
- Enter a Special Orders Minimum Deposit value if using Special Orders
- Click Save Changes
- Navigate to Staff > POS Security Features
- Select a Profile from the drop-down
- Enable the setting Allow Override of Minimum Deposit
- Click Save
Back to top
Overriding the Minimum Deposit
To override the Minimum Deposit requirement you will need to enable the "Allow Finalise when Minimum Deposit not met" setting in the Security Profile so that sales can still be created.
If the user also has the POS Security Feature for "Allow Override of Minimum Deposit" the sale will be created without incident. If this permission has not been granted, a warning will be displayed to the user, and they will be prompted to enter the credentials of a user with access.
