# At the counter

## The billing screen

The billing app is where sales are rung up. Use it by keyboard, touch or barcode, on the Windows or Mac computer, tablet or iPad you already own.

> [card] Three layouts
>
> Choose the standard, touch or keyboard layout. Function keys cover the common actions: hold, discount and pay.

> [card] Barcode scanner
>
> Any keyboard-wedge barcode scanner works. Scan a product to add it to the bill, or search by name.

> [card] Weighing scale
>
> Plug in a serial weighing scale (Avery Berkel, CAS, Mettler-Toledo SICS or a generic protocol) and loose items are billed by the weight on the scale.

> [card] Hold, recall and returns
>
> Hold a bill while you serve the next customer and recall it later. Returns and exchanges are handled at the till, with credit notes and refunds.

> [card] Offers and loyalty
>
> Flat and buy-X-get-Y offers apply at the till, and loyalty points are earned and redeemed there.

> [card] Stock moves with the sale
>
> Products with batches show their batch on the bill, and stock moves with every sale.

## Payments, dues and receipts

Take payment the way the customer wants to pay, and print the receipt on your own printer.

> [card] Tenders
>
> Cash, card, and UPI in India or online payments elsewhere. Card machines keep working as they do today; Tillora records the payment.

> [card] Split payments
>
> Split one bill across tenders, for example part cash and part card, with the change due worked out.

> [card] Dues
>
> Record a sale as due for a customer who pays later, and chase due invoices from the admin portal with shareable PDFs.

> [card] Receipts and the cash drawer
>
> Receipts print on any ESC/POS thermal printer, and the cash drawer is kicked open through the printer.

> [card] Cash sessions
>
> Each till runs cash sessions, and the Day End report shows the variance.

> [card] SMS receipts in India
>
> Send the receipt by SMS from the sender TILORA. See Invoice SMS under the General tab.

## Customer display

Any spare tablet can face the customer and show the bill as you ring it up.

> [card] What the customer sees
>
> A live item list, greetings, a thank-you screen, and a UPI or payment QR to scan.

> [card] Connecting it
>
> The display connects wirelessly and is paired with a PIN. There is nothing to buy: use a tablet you already own.
