Performing a Basic Transaction
Below are the steps to perform a basic transaction in WDF POS:
Step 1: Accessing the Register
- Select the Register option from the dashboard.
- Enter your PIN if prompted.
- You may already be on the Register Screen.
Step 2: Selecting New Sale
- Click New Sale to begin a transaction.
Accepting Laundry Items
- When accepting laundry items from a customer, a customer must be selected.
Step 3: Selecting an Existing Customer
- Begin typing the customer’s name, company, or phone number.
- The system will search for and recommend a match.
- Select the customer as soon as you see their name.
- You do not need to type the full name if the correct customer appears.
Step 4: Entering Notes
- Print Notes: These notes will appear on the printed receipt and may be reviewed with the customer.
- Internal Notes: These notes do not appear on the receipt but are for internal use (e.g., "Do not accept checks from this customer" or "Customer is banned from drop-off").
- You can also see if a customer has an account balance or any store credit.
Step 5: Continue with Customer and Perform Transaction
- Click green "Continue with Selected Customer" button.
Step 6: Adding Services and Items
- Weighing Laundry
- Press the Wash-Dry-Fold button to automatically read the weight scale.
- If the customer has specific instructions for their laundry, enter them manually (e.g., "Spot treat the white shirt").
- Adding Specific Instructions
- For common instructions like drying preferences, you use the Instructions button for quick selections (e.g., "Dry temperature low").
- Adding Retail Items
- If the customer is purchasing a retail item, such as a lint roller, you can use the barcode scanner to scan and add it to the order.
Step 7: Setting the Due Date
- Press Next.
- Choose the due date and pickup time (e.g., "Tomorrow at 5:00 PM").

Step 8: Processing Payment
- On the Payment Screen, enter the amount the customer is paying with.
- If paying with cash, use the shortcut buttons (e.g., press "$50" for a $50 cash payment).
- If using a credit card, select Credit/Debit, and have the customer insert, swipe, or tap their card.
- If using store credit, ensure the customer has a balance available and select Store Credit as the payment method.
- If the customer is paying later, select Pay at Pickup to finalize the order without immediate payment.
- In the example below, we will be using the $50 Quick Cash Payment button because the customer wants to pay in cash.
- You will notice that the "Store Credit" button is greyed out because the customer has $0.00 in Store Credit.
Step 9: Printing Receipt & Providing Change
- Print the receipt for the customer.
- Provide change if needed when paying with cash.
- Confirm the transaction is successfully completed before moving to the next customer.

The payment process is now complete and you have finished your basic transaction! Great job!
