Create your POS devices

ROLLER POS supports selling through multiple POS devices. A POS device must be configured for each computer terminal in your venue.  This article will show you how to create a POS Device in Venue Manager. 

Creating a POS device allows you to sell products on-site at your venue. There is a maximum number of POS devices that can be created depending on your subscription.

POS template or individual POS device?

To set up a new POS Device, go to Venue Manager > Apps > Point of Sale.

There are two options for creating POS devices:
  1. Create a POS device from a template

    This allows you to configure multiple devices at once and ensures consistency across your devices. We highly recommend this option. Learn how to set up your POS templates

  2. Create an individual POS device

    This allows you to configure your POS devices individually. Individual POS devices can't be attached to a template at a later date.

Create a POS device from a template

  1. Go to Apps > Point of sale (POS) > Templates.
  2. For the template you want to create a POS device from, click the options menu (3 dots) on the right-hand side, and select Create device from template.
  3. Configure the device settings:
    • Add in the Device Name (eg Reception 1, Cafe 1).
    • Add in a starting Till float(optional).
    • Set the device screen size.
    • Allow mass ticket redemption (optional). Set a minimum quantity to enable the mass redemption of tickets within a booking.
      This will bypass the waiver assignment and tickets will be checked-in without a waiver attached.
  1. Click Save.

Edit your POS devices

Remember if you wish to edit the menu for a device which is linked to a template then you will need to edit the menu from within the template, not the individual POS device. Editing the template will then change all of the devices linked to that template.

  1. If you're editing a POS device which is attached to a template, go to Apps > Point of Sale > Templates.
  2. If you're editing a standard POS device, go to Apps > Point of Sale > Devices.
  3. Click the options menu (3 dots) next to the template or device you want to edit and select Edit.
  4. Click Unlock to edit template in the top right to start making changes.

    Add new products

    Use the search bar to type in the name(s) of your products and select any that you want to add to this menu. Click Apply to save.

    Remove old products

    You can remove a product by clicking on the trash can icon to the right of the product list. To remove a child product, click on the parent product drop-down arrow first and then click on the trash can icon next to the relevant child product.

    Rearrange products

    You can rearrange your POS products by dragging and dropping the parent or child products to change how they'll be displayed in POS.

    Rename a menu 

    Click into the menu you want to rename and edit the name there. You can also select a new icon if required.

    Rearrange menus

    You can rearrange your POS menus by dragging and dropping the names in the menu side bar to change the order.
