Custom POS checkout workflows without writing code
Build guided, reorderable Point of Sale flows for approvals, alternative payments, deposits, and lot/serial checks — then track every run with a full audit trail.
The problem
Native POS forces every checkout down one fixed path. Managers who need approval gates before a discount, mandatory lot/serial capture, staged deposits, or split-tender payments are stuck manually training staff around the gaps — or paying for custom development every time a policy changes.
The solution
POS Checkout Workflows lets managers compose their own checkout steps — approvals, alternative payments, deposits, scans, and instructions — drag them into order, and run them straight from the register. Every execution is logged for a complete, searchable audit trail.
Everything a custom checkout policy needs
Every capability below is implemented in the module.
Visual Workflow Builder
Assemble checkout workflows from reorderable steps in a kanban gallery and a drag-to-reorder Steps list — no code, no consultant.
Ready-Made Templates
Start from seeded templates for Refund & Exchange, Split Tender Checkout, and Layaway Deposit, then edit them to match your own policy.
Manager Approval Gates
Add a PIN-gated approval step so a manager must sign off on a discount, void, or refund before the cashier can continue.
Alternative Payment Steps
Guide cashiers to specific tenders — including emerging-market rails like Orange Money and Wave — as a dedicated step in the flow.
Deposit & Layaway Steps
Collect a configurable minimum deposit percentage as part of a layaway or hold-order workflow.
Lot/Serial Reminders
Prompt cashiers to scan lot or serial numbers at the exact point in the flow where traceability matters.
One-Tap Register Access
Run any configured workflow from a dedicated Workflows control button at the register, with a guided step-by-step dialog.
Full Audit Trail & Analytics
Every run is recorded with cashier, approver, timestamps, and per-step outcomes — browsable as a list, graph, and pivot.
How it works
Design the workflow
Build steps in the Workflow form — approvals, payments, deposits, scans, notes — and drag them into the order you want.
Assign it to registers
Scope a workflow to specific registers, or leave it open so it is available everywhere.
Run it at checkout
Cashiers tap the Workflows button, pick the flow, and follow each step — entering a manager PIN where required.
Review the audit trail
Every completed or aborted run lands in Workflow Analytics with cashier, approver, and timing detail.

No. It adds an optional guided workflow on top of native POS — cashiers can still use the standard checkout for orders that do not need extra steps.
