Introduction
This article explains the newly enhanced POS Redeem Receipts functionality, which allows users to redeem itemized receipts generated from SchoolCash POS transactions. Receipts can be redeemed either by scanning a QR code or entering the receipt number into the Receipt Redeemer module. The feature is available for one-screen POS transactions.

POS Redeem Receipts Functionality
The POS Redeem Receipts feature supports both manual entry of receipt numbers and QR code scanning for receipt redemption. The redemption process can be accessed via SchoolCash Catalog or directly at:
https://nameofdistrictsite.schoolcash.net/redeemreceipts
After completing a payment in POS, users are presented with an option to print a receipt.
This receipt is itemized and includes a QR code, which can be redeemed using the Receipt Redeemer module.
Redeeming POS Receipts
Previously, only SchoolCash Online (SCO) receipts could be redeemed via the Receipt Redeemer. Now, the feature supports the redemption of POS receipts as well. Users can enter the receipt number or scan the QR code. The following details appear once the receipt is validated:
- Receipt Number
- Date of Purchase
- Payment Status (Paid/Refund)
To redeem a POS receipt, users can:
- Go to the Receipts tab in SchoolCash Catalog, or
- Visit https://nameofdistrictsite.schoolcash.net/redeemreceipts on a mobile device.
Users are authenticated through School Cash Identity (SCI) from either the SchoolCash Catalog or the direct URL.
Reference Numbers for POS Devices
The POS devices use a list of predetermined reference numbers for their Receipt #. Some reference numbers are reserved and can't be used because they are pre-allocated for refunds, already used, or used for another device. Non-sequential receipt numbers are not an indication of missing funds.
On the Receipt Redeemer page, users can either enter the full receipt number or click the Scan button to scan the QR code with their device's camera.
Once the receipt is validated, users can choose which items to redeem. They can either complete the redemption by clicking Redeem or return to the search by clicking Back to Search.
If there is more than one quantity on the receipt, the user can select the number of items that they would like to redeem under the “Item(s) to redeem” section.
