POS Register Management for Every Till

Q: Is Retail Express a POS register system?

Retail Express is cloud retail POS with POS register management built in. A register is the software till lane staff pick with the store (outlet) when they log in. Opening float, sales, payments, hardware mapping, and cash up all sit on that lane, so you can see which checkout did the work. You still supply the PC or iPad, drawer, printer, and EFTPOS; this page is about organising lanes in software, not selling cash-register hardware.

Q: Is a POS register the same as a cash register?

Not quite. People searching pos register or cash register pos often mean the physical drawer and terminal. Retail Express is the POS software that runs on your devices; the register is how we organise each lane inside that software. For scanners, printers, and EFTPOS, see POS hardware and EFTPOS hardware.

When two drawers share one till in the system, cash-ups blur and you cannot tell which lane took which sale. Retail Express gives each checkout its own POS register: opening float, sales, printer and EFTPOS, and cash up you can trust.

Common pain points

Shared tills make end-of-day a guessing game

You cannot tell which lane was wrong

When multiple checkouts share one register, sales and cash land in one bucket and variances are hard to find.

Hardware prints on the wrong till

Lane 2 receipts on Lane 1's printer slow the queue and confuse staff during peak trade.

Float and cash-up do not match reality

Without a clear register per till, opening floats, Money In/Out, and cash-up reconciliation lose their meaning.

How to choose the best POS system

Clear lanes

One register per till

Separate registers make it clear which checkout processed each sale. That matters when you run multiple lanes, fix mismatches, or review Income and End of Day reports by register.

Float control

Cash floats and variances

Registers support opening floats, Money In/Out, and cash-up reconciliation so you know expected vs counted cash per till. Investigate variances with transaction lists before you submit. Depth: POS cash up.

Printers & EFTPOS

Hardware per register

Assign receipt printers, integrated EFTPOS, and Quick Products profiles per register in POS Settings and the Hardware Utility, so Lane 2 does not print on Lane 1's printer by mistake. Extra devices can share a host printer and EFTPOS with the hardware certificate. See POS hardware and EFTPOS hardware.

Clean login

Hide unused registers

Disable Back Office or unused registers from the POS login screen (POS Enabled checkbox) so staff only see active tills, cleaner login during trading hours. Registers with sales history stay in the system for reporting; you hide them from login instead of deleting them.

POS Register Management for Every Till FAQ

Answers for retailers in Australia and New Zealand.

Is Retail Express a POS register system?

Retail Express is cloud retail POS with POS register management built in. A register is the software till lane staff pick with the store (outlet) when they log in. Opening float, sales, payments, hardware mapping, and cash up all sit on that lane, so you can see which checkout did the work. You still supply the PC or iPad, drawer, printer, and EFTPOS; this page is about organising lanes in software, not selling cash-register hardware.

Should each till have its own register?

Yes. One register per physical till is best for cash control, hardware mapping, and clear reporting. Sharing one register across two drawers is what creates blurry cash-ups and hard-to-find variances.

What is the Back Office Register?

Every store gets a default Back Office Register for non-till activity such as web orders and adjustments. It is not meant as a customer-facing checkout lane. You can hide it from POS login if staff do not need it on the shop floor.

Can I add extra POS registers for busy periods?

Yes. Each store includes a Back Office Register plus one additional register to start. Create another register for each extra till as you grow, assign hardware (or share a host printer and EFTPOS), and staff log into that register during peak hours. Unused lanes can be hidden from login (POS Enabled) so they stay in history without showing at login. See POS hardware.

Is a POS register the same as a cash register?

Not quite. People searching pos register or cash register pos often mean the physical drawer and terminal. Retail Express is the POS software that runs on your devices; the register is how we organise each lane inside that software. For scanners, printers, and EFTPOS, see POS hardware and EFTPOS hardware.

How does register setup tie to cash up?

Cash up runs per register. Staff count that drawer, check the cash summary and other tenders, then submit (or hold and finish later). Separate registers keep each lane's float and variance clear. See POS cash up.

Do I pay per extra till or register?

Retail Express is a monthly subscription per store. You can add registers for extra lanes as you grow; hardware and EFTPOS are separate. See pricing for what your plan includes.
