## The Basics

Below is a list of basic **Sales Screen** functions, along with descriptions and links to in-depth guides.&#x20;

### Making a Sale

When entering an item into the cart, it can either be scanned by **Barcode**, selected via a button or searched using the **Find Item** function. Once in the cart the sale can be completed by press on **Cash**, **Card** or **Proceed**. Once you complete the sale, the cash drawer will open and a receipt can be printed.

This will allow any **Customer's Specific Price** or **Offers** to be active immediately. **Customers** can be select by using the **Customers** button.
