Basic Sale

The process of a sale on the SCO is in two parts - the customer needs to scan their items, and secondly to pay by card. Loyalty or customer ID capture associates the transaction with a customer. Depending on configuration, the number of carrier bags used may be prompted for. If configured, select a country flag to change the language.

To perform a self check out sale:

  1. Scan your first item or selectStart to begin the sale.

    If your store has a loyalty program, the customer can scan their loyalty or customer card.

    After scanning the loyalty or customer card, the customer's name is displayed.

    If no loyalty or customer card is available, select Skip to continue to scan the items.

  2. Scan items (or add items via another method - see Alternate Methods to Add Items).
