DEAR Point of Sale (POS) allows you to turn any mobile devices into a point of sale. List your product catalog, invite users, make sales, process returns, accept payments, update stock levels and more. Details of sales from DEAR POS are processed by DEAR Systems to be processed and to allocate stock for sale. Setting up DEAR POS takes place through the DEAR web portal. 


DEAR POS provides advanced, multi-directional integration with DEAR Inventory. In general, the integration between DEAR POS and DEAR Inventory works in the following manner:

  • Customers purchase goods in store via DEAR POS.
  • DEAR POS sends the details of each sales order to DEAR Inventory.
  • DEAR Inventory creates a pending order in the staging area for each sale. Stock is immediately allocated to sales.
  • Depending on how DEAR Point of Sale is configured, pending sales can be converted to DEAR Inventory Sales Orders with stock, then written off from the inventory account.


Once you have followed the Getting Started steps of configuring settings, adding outlets and registers, inviting users and listing products you can move on to the following articles:

  • Connect payment processors and payment hardware: DEAR POS supports integration with Square, Linkly, Vantiv triPOS, Tyro and Paymentsense payment systems and hardware.
  • Connect printers and barcode scanners: Connect barcode scanners and printers to your DEAR POS device. 
  • Set up Quick Keys: Within your register, you are able to add buttons called Quick Keys which enable you to quickly put through sales of your most popular products.
  • Set up a Loyalty program: Let your customers earn currency to spend in your store every time they make a purchase. The aim of a loyalty program is to increase customer retention and provide you with valuable information about your customer base.
  • Barcode features:
    • Advanced barcodes: By default, DEAR POS is configured to use Product-based barcodes. DEAR POS can also handle advanced barcodes with embedded data, which are ideal for stores that sell products based on weight or price, e.g. butcher shops, delicatessens, and fruit stands.
    • Additional/multiple barcodes: You may need to use additional or multiple barcodes for a product. This is not natively supported in DEAR, however, the additional attributes feature can be used to implement multiple scannable barcodes in POS.

Set up a new POS Store

[back to top]


POS Stores are set up and managed from the Integrations module of DEAR. The first step is to set up a POS store for your organisation. POS is an add-on to the base subscription. Purchasing the add-on will unlock a POS store, outlet, and register. Additional POS registers can be purchased to add to the subscription, which can all belong to one store or store, or be distributed among multiple stores.


It is possible to link several POS stores to a single DEAR account, with each linked store having its own, catalog, logs and settings. At least one additional POS must be added to your base subscription to add another POS store. 


  1. Navigate to Integrations → DEAR Point of Sale.
  2. Click the + icon to add a new POS point.
  3. Enter a name for your store and click Add new POS. A new tab will be created for the POS store. If you have already added POS points, you can click the tab of an existing POS point to configure its settings.
  4. Once a POS point has been chosen, proceed to the Setup tab and fill in all the required fields. See Integration settings below for an explanation of the fields or skip to the next section.


Integration settings

[back to top]


You can configure the integration settings for each POS store. Some settings can be further configured at the outlet/register level. 


General settings

[back to top]



Capture POS Sale when it is:

Depending on your requirements, you can choose to capture POS sales when they are either created or completed (fully paid). 


Consolidate sales:
You are able to configure how pending POS Sales are processed in DEAR by using the Consolidation Type feature.


There are two modes:

  • No consolidation: If the No Consolidation option is selected, all Walk-In/Cash Register sales will be created as individual Sale Orders in DEAR.
  • Daily consolidation: If the Daily Consolidation method is selected, all POS Sales for the day will be pooled into a single Sale Order at a specified consolidation time.


Regardless of the selected consolidation method, On Account and Layby sales will always be created in DEAR as individual Sale Orders. This allows you to fulfil the orders and attach relevant payments when necessary.


Consolidation Time: 

This is the local time for consolidating all pending sales into a single sale order containing all sales that occurred during the day. This option is only visible when Consolidate sales: Daily consolidation is selected. 


Customer:

Select a default customer to be used in POS sale tasks when no customer info is available for the sale order or when the Daily consolidation option is selected. If the customer information exists in the POS sale order, the default customer defined in POS Settings is ignored.

  • When No Consolidation is selected, the default customer may be used in cases where customer information is not attached to the POS sale order, e.g. walk-in sales.
  • When Daily Consolidation is selected, the default customer is used to create a new sale task that will combine all daily sales into a single sale.


Sale Price Tier:

This setting determines which Product Price Tier (within DEAR Inventory) will be used when publishing products from DEAR to POS.

Default Sales Tax:

When a pending sale is processed in DEAR, a sale task is created with order and invoice lines completed. Select the tax rule that should be applied to sales coming from POS where sales tax applies. The default tax rule can still be overwritten within POS at the outlet level or during the sale itself. 


Zero Tax:

Select the tax rule to be applied to a sale where no sales tax apples. The zero tax rule can still be overwritten within POS at the outlet level or during the sale itself. 


DEAR allows tax rules to be added or deleted at the outlet level during the DEAR POS checkout process. When you add or delete a tax rule during checkout, the selected option in this field is applied to the product instead. However, this tax rule can still be edited or deleted.


Tax Inclusive:

Select whether POS sales are tax inclusive (this setting enabled) or tax exclusive (this setting disabled). Ensure that the POS tax inclusive/exclusive setting matches the pricing that has been set for your products in DEAR. 


Pick, Pack and Ship Processing Mode:

This feature allows you to automate some or all of the Pick, Pack and Ship steps of the fulfilment process when a pending sale is converted into a sale order in DEAR.  For example, POS sales where the stock is taken away immediately by the customer can be set to Auto Pick + Pack + Ship. 


NOTE: If there is not enough stock on hand to allow pick of the whole quantity of products in a sale order, the Pick will remain in Draft State, and Pack and Ship will not be completed. 


Process Auto-Assembly as:

This setting affects how sales of finished good products with auto-assembly enabled are processed. See Finished Goods Assembly - Auto assembly for more information. 


This dropdown field has two options:

  • For ordered quantity: Does not check stock quantity. An assembly order is created for the quantity specified in the sale order, regardless of stock availability. 
  • For minimum quantity required for picking:Assemble stock required to meet the quantity of specific sale order. 
    • If stock availability is negative, auto-assembly will produce a finished goods quantity which is more than the quantity ordered through sale order. 
    • If there is already stock available in inventory but not enough to fulfill the sale order quantity, auto-assembly will assemble the difference in quantity needed to meet the sale order requirement.
    • If stock availability exceeds sale order quantity, auto-assembly is not triggered. 

Stock availability is validated against the sale order location and does not take On Order quantity into account.


Check Availability on Checkout

When this setting is enabled, DEAR will perform an availability check during the POS checkout process. A confirmation message will appear informing the user if the item is no longer in stock. When turned off, no check is performed. 


Customers load mode

This setting determines how customer data is loaded to the POS application. There are three options:

  • Online: In online mode customer data is not sent to the application. POS will retrieve customer information when a request is made, e.g. looking up a customer. 
  • Offline: In offline mode, all customers are loaded to the POS application local app storage. When online, POS will check periodically for new customers. 
  • Hybrid: This will use offline mode when there are less than 10 000 customers but online mode when the number of customers exceeds the threshold. This mode is applied automatically to all new stores. 


NOTE: Hybrid mode is applied by default to all new shops. Online mode will be applied to new stores with more than 10 000 customers once the customer number is checked for the first time. Offline mode is applied to all existing stores, no matter how many customers they have.


Payment workflow order: Users can specify whether payment amount or payment method is required first on the payment screen of an order. When payment amount is specified first, selecting the payment method completes the sale without allowing further editing of the payment amount. 


Account & Cash settings

[back to top]


NOTE: Accounts can be set at the POS Store level and at the outlet level. You may need to add more accounts to your chart of accounts to configure these settings. See Accounts and Chart of Accounts for more information about adding accounts, and consult your bookkeeper if necessary. 


Invoice Status:

You can control the invoice status for a sale task created as a result of processing a pending sale from POS.

By default, the Invoice will not be authorised and will be in a Draft state, adjustable and waiting for authorisation. But if this setting is changed to AUTHORISED, the invoice will be automatically authorised and pending sync will be created for it so that it can synchronise with your accounting application.


Till discrepancy account:

This Current Asset account will be used to track the differences between the amount expected when you close your register and the amount you count. This can be overridden at the register level. 


Petty cash:

This Expense account will be used to post any petty cash amounts taken or added into your cash drawer for any small expenses in your store. This can be overridden at the register level. 


Cash In/Out:    

This account should be a Current Asset and will serve as a clearing account when cash is put in or taken out of the till. Amounts coming in/out of this account will be reconciled against bank or wage accounts. This can be overridden at the Rregister level. 


Cash Float Account:

This account should be a Current Asset and will be used to post your daily float and any float adjustments that were made during the day. This can be overridden at the register level. 


Rounding Account:

This Revenue account will be used for rounding differences for amounts owed to the nearest specified increment based on your chosen rounding rule. 


Round to:

Pick the cash rounding denomination based on the regulations of your country/currency. You can choose from the nearest 0.01, 0.05, 0.10, 0.50 or 1.00.


Rounding rule

You will need to specify your rounding rule. This rule determines how your chosen denomination is rounded in a cash sale. You can choose from always round down, always round up, round midpoint down or round midpoint up.


Optional Revenue Account 

The Revenue Account to be used for all POS sales. If this is set, the settings at the Product/Customer level and Account Mapping will be ignored.


Use as Sales Representative

Use Vantiv triPOS

Toggle this button to Yes if you are using Vantiv triPOS payment processing solutions for the POS point. See Vantiv triPOS integration for more information. 


Use Paymentsense

Toggle this button to Yes if you are accepting Paymentsense card payment solutions for the POS point. See Paymentsense integration for more information.


Use Linkly Cloud

Toggle this button to Yes if you are accepting Linkly Cloud card payment solutions for the POS point. See Linkly Cloud integration for more information.

POS UI Settings

[back to top]

Select the default catalog size that will be applied to all registers. This controls how many rows and columns of product tiles will be displayed on the screen. This can be overridden at the register level.

Use Customer Price Tier

This setting overwrites the Sales Price Tier value for POS. If Use Customer Price Tier is toggled to Yes, then the customer price tier will be applied in DEAR POS item sale (if the sale is created for the specified customer). If Use Customer Price Tier is toggled to No, the regular price tier will be applied to sales in DEAR POS, even if a customer is selected.


Use Advanced Barcodes

By default, DEAR POS is configured to use Product-based barcodes. DEAR POS can also handle advanced barcodes with embedded data, which are ideal for stores that sell products based on weight or price, e.g. butcher shops, delicatessens, and fruit stands. DEAR supports the following barcode types:

  • Product based: Barcode is input at the product setup level and only contains the product code. There will be no additional information retrieved through reading this type of barcode, barcode is used to lookup item only. Product quantity is entered manually by the cashier during checkout and price would be determined based on the entered qty and price per unit as per the product setup.
  • GS1 based:These are standard barcodes used in retail stores worldwide and capable of holding additional product attributes such as weight and price.
    • UPCA codes which start with 2 and are twelve digits in length
    • EAN 13 codes which start with 2 and are thirteen digits in length
  • Weight based: Barcode consists of product code/outlet SKU, then the weight information. Typically these are generated by a third party weight scale. DEAR POS reads these barcodes at the check out and retrieves product price information based on the weight given on the barcode.
  • Price based: Barcode consists of product code/ outlet SKU and product price. DEAR POS reads the barcode to calculate the quantity or weight based on the barcode price during checkout in order to determine the quantity that must be reduced from the inventory.


When you change this setting, the Barcode setup tab on the DEAR POS Integration page is enabled. This tab is where you configure your barcodes. See Advanced barcodes for more information. 


POS report templates

[back to top]


Closure register report:

Select a default Closure Register Report template to be used across your POS store. Templates are accessed, added and customised from Settings → Document & Email templates. See Managing Document and Email Templates for more information. 


Link POS payment methods to payment accounts

[back to top]


DEAR captures payments made against sales in POS and is able to automatically add payments to created sale tasks (only in No Consolidation mode). If you want DEAR to create these payments, you need to map an account from the Chart of Accounts that has the ability to receive payments. If accounts are not mapped, payments will not be created automatically.


Make sure that you have an account in DEAR for each payment method in POS (Cash, Loyalty, Credit Card, Store Credits, On Account and Lay-by) and any additional custom payment methods. This way, the payment will be automatically allocated to the appropriate account. Surcharges can be applied to the Credit Card payment method or any custom payment methods.


Payment method mappings can also be set at the outlet level. If no outlet level payment method mapping is specified, the default payment method mapping is applied. See Set up Outlets for more information. Cash account can also be set at the Register level. 


Disconnect from your POS store

[back to top]


When you disconnect from your POS store, DEAR removes all associations between DEAR and POS Store, including Log and Product Catalog. Take care when disconnecting from your shop.


Set cash payment denominations

[back to top]


Bank note denominations of the chosen currency are displayed on the POS register so cashiers can quickly enter cash payments. Depending on your base currency, the bank note denominations may already provided by DEAR. Check the bank note denominations are correct and add any missing denominations before starting to make sales with DEAR POS. 

  1. Go to Integrations → POS → Cash payment setup
  2. Use + Denomination to add any missing bank note denominations.
  3. Save to finish. 


Enter reasons for adding/removing cash from a register

[back to top]


When using the DEAR POS app, cash may need to be added or removed from a register. DEAR allows you to provide default cash management reasons which can be selected when adding or removing cash. It is also possible to enter a custom reason when adding or removing cash.

  1. Go to Integrations → POS → Cash Reasons
  2. Use + Reason to add any cash management reasons. 
  3. Save to finish. 


Configure payment processors
