Set up cash drawers

A cash drawer is a physical compartment where cash, coins, and other forms of payment are stored during transactions. The drawer contains a till, which is a removable tray with compartments for organizing different denominations of currency.

The cash drawer connects to your receipt printer and opens when you finish a cash or a check (cheque) transaction. A receipt printer generates printed receipts for customers after a transaction.
