Your First Sale

This tutorial walks you through completing your first sale on Point — from opening the POS screen to handing the customer their receipt.

Before You Begin​

Make sure you have:

  • An active Point account with at least one branch and register configured
  • At least one product added to your inventory
  • Your register open and assigned to a cashier

Step 1: Open the POS Screen​

From the dashboard, click POS in the sidebar. You will be taken to the main point-of-sale screen.

The screen is divided into three areas:

  • Left panel — product search and category filters
  • Center — your active cart
  • Right panel — payment and totals

Step 2: Add Products to the Cart​

Search for a product by name or barcode using the search bar at the top of the left panel.

Click any product card to add it to the cart. You will see it appear in the center panel with a quantity of 1.

To adjust the quantity, click the + or − buttons next to the item, or click the quantity directly to type a number.

Step 3: Apply a Discount (Optional)​

If the customer has a discount:

  1. Click on the line item in the cart
  2. Select Discount
  3. Enter a percentage or fixed amount

The cart totals update automatically.

Step 4: Choose a Payment Method​

When the cart is ready, click Charge in the right panel.

Select the payment method:

  • Cash — enter the amount tendered; Point calculates change automatically
  • Card — confirm the amount and process through your terminal
  • Split — divide the total across multiple methods

Step 5: Complete the Sale​

Click Confirm Payment. Point will:

  1. Generate a ZATCA-compliant e-invoice
  2. Deduct the items from inventory
  3. Print or send the receipt to the customer

The POS screen resets and is ready for the next sale.
