Let’s continue our discussion of fast retail transactions. Now that we know who our customer is, we can identify the products that our customer plans to purchase.
You can select the line items for your retail transaction in two ways using our Web Edition HME software:
- you can click the Product smart lookup; or,
- you can use a USB bar code scanner to record the universal product code (UPC) or a custom bar code label, which you can print through Web Edition.
We recommend the scanner to maintain speed and accuracy in a high volume retail environment; otherwise, the Product smart lookup will suffice. You can decide which will be better for your business since you can use either method at any time.
Once you select a line item, you may override the product description, retail price and tax amounts. Web Edition automatically calculates sales tax for up to five tax authorities to account for any state and local combination for each line item.
Continue to add and change line items as needed. All products display in a list with running totals until you’re ready to check out.
That’s where we’ll leave it for now. We’ll cover the express retail sales check out process next time.
