Introduction

This article explains how to make items available for purchase on SchoolCash POS devices. It covers adding items to devices through SchoolCash Catalog, removing them as needed, and filtering items on the device.

Making Items Available for Purchase on SchoolCash POS Devices

Items are added individually to the devices through the SchoolCash Catalog. They must be fixed-price items but do not need to be attached to students, nor do they need to be Public or Unlisted. Items with attached forms are not purchased through SchoolCash POS devices at this time.

If the school has more than one device, the items are available for purchase on all associated devices. Items do not need to be attached to students, and the device does not require the item to be Public or Unlisted.

There are two ways to collect in-person credit card payments: 1. Add items directly to the POS device and use it independently. 2. Use the device with SchoolCash Register, which currently allows purchases to be associated with a student.

To Add an Item


  1. Open SchoolCash Catalog and select the item to add to the POS device.
  2. Click Add to Point of Sale Device.
  3. Once the item has been added to the device, it is then available for purchase. On the device, click View Items in the app and select the item.

Removing Catalog Items


Items are automatically removed from POS devices once they expire. To remove an item manually, open SchoolCash Catalog, select the item, then click Remove from Point-of-Sale Device (POS).

Filtering to See Items Added to a POS Device


There are two ways in SchoolCash Catalog to view only the items on the POS devices:

  1. Select the POS button on the SchoolCash Catalog page.
  2. Choose Point-of-Sale from the List of Items dropdown.
