Adding an employee and assigning a PIN

Create a staff account with its own PIN so they can sign in and start ringing up sales.

By the end of this article, a new employee can sign in to the register with their own PIN.

Add the employee

  1. Open Settings and click the Manage Employees card.
  2. Under Add employee, fill in:
    • Name
    • Role: cashier or admin
    • PIN (4-6 digits)
  3. Click Add.

The new employee now appears in the table above, and shows up as a tile on the sign-in screen the next time someone clocks in.

Signing in

At the sign-in screen, tap the employee’s name, enter their PIN on the number pad, and press Enter. The PIN pad also responds to a physical keyboard: number keys enter digits, Backspace removes one, Enter submits, and Escape goes back to the employee list.

The very first account

If no employees exist yet, the sign-in screen shows a one-time setup form instead of the tile list, for creating the first account. That account is always created as an admin, since there is no one else yet to grant that role.
