Our built-in Point of Sale (POS) feature makes it easy to process independent, in-person transactions that fall outside your regular reservation payments. This is perfect if you operate a small general store, or sell items like firewood, propane, ice, or merchandise on-site.
In this article, we’ll show you how to:
- Ring up in-person sales
- Add and edit products
- Process payments (card, cash, or payment links)
How to Process a POS Transaction
- Open the POS system.
Navigate to your POS screen where you’ll see your store inventory and receipt panel.
- Search for Products.
Use the search bar to find products like firewood, ice, or merchandise.
As you select items, the receipt on the right will automatically populate with the items and prices.
- Associate with a Guest (Optional).
If this purchase is from a guest who already has a saved payment method, type their name in the "Guest" field.
This will link the purchase to their account and pull in any saved cards for quicker checkout.
- Add Payment Method and Charge.
- Select Add Payment Method and process the payment.
- You can print a receipt or close and clear the order once complete.

FAQs
Can I use the POS without connecting it to a reservation?

What if I want to sell event tickets or limited-time items?
You can use the Time Applicable setting in Advanced Options to make products available only for a specific date range.
Can I manage inventory quantities?
Basic POS use doesn’t require managing inventory counts, but you can optionally use SKU and quantity fields for more advanced tracking.
