# Process In-Person Sales with Zentrix Cloud POS

> Learn how to open a POS session, add items, apply discounts, accept Zenso payments, and close the session in Zentrix Cloud.

The Point of Sale (POS) screen is where you handle in-person transactions. You can open a session for your branch, scan or search for products, adjust prices, take payment through Zenso, and issue receipts. Every sale automatically updates stock in Products and records takings in Accounting.

<Steps>
  <Step title="Open a POS session">
    Navigate to the Sales module and select the POS option. Choose your branch if prompted. Start a new session so Zentrix Cloud can track the register activity for the shift.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Add items to the cart">
    Scan barcodes, use the search field, or browse the product grid to add items. Tap a line item to adjust quantity, apply a discount, or remove it from the cart.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Apply discounts or notes">
    Add a cart-level discount or a line-item discount as needed. You can also attach an internal note or a customer-facing note to the sale.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Take payment with Zenso">
    Select the payment method. Zenso supports card payments, QR code scanning, and pay-by-bank. Follow the on-screen prompts to complete the transaction. For split payments, add each tender amount separately.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Print or email the receipt">
    After payment confirmation, choose to print the receipt, email it to the customer, or send it via Zensios messaging if the customer prefers WhatsApp or SMS.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Close the session">
    When your shift ends, close the POS session. Review the summary of sales, refunds, and payment types taken. Submit the close-out so Accounting reflects the day’s takings.
  </Step>
</Steps>

<Tip>
  You can leave a POS session open during a shift and switch between users if your branch settings allow shared register access.

<Note>
  Exact labels for payment buttons and session controls may vary by Zentrix Cloud version. Check the in-app UI for the current wording.
