Frequently asked questions
How do I test the age check?
Add a bottle to a test sale, enter a date of birth under the minimum age and confirm it is refused, then a valid one and tick the ID check. Cancel the sale.
What is the most common go-live mistake?
Opening stock of wine entered in cases instead of bottles. Stock is always counted in the base unit.
Should cashiers be able to change prices?
Usually not. Leave the price-edit permission off for cashiers in User Management › Roles.
Do I need the Order options module?
Only if you want the till to record ID checks. Without it, staff check ID by hand and nothing is recorded.
