System Requirements
FAQ - Frequently Asked Questions
How do I Create New Articles?
- In the article management in the OktoPOS Manager. An article file is created manually. The properties of the article are entered in the article file.
- Upload via Excel (CSV).
- With the cash register. Articles can be created on cash registers with the most important data fields so that they can be sold directly. If an unknown barcode is scanned, the cash register asks whether it should create the article.
- Via an API. Articles can be created by using the open HTTP interfaces in the OktoPOS Manager.
How much Training does a New Cashier need?
OktoPOS Cash is so user-friendly that anyone can start working with it immediately. The cashier is informed of possible errors by the cash register and guided by animations. Extensive training is therefore usually not necessary.
Offline Capability
Online and Offline Cash Register - Best of Both Worlds
Through an intelligent combination of offline and online operation, our POS system offers the ideal connection to our web-based management software (OktoPOS Manager) with simultaneous offline capability.
OktoPOS cash registers can be used without a constant internet connection. Receipts are sent to the OktoPOS Manager when the internet connection is available again.
The OktoPOS system is designed to perform nearly all operations without requiring an internet connection. An internet connection is only needed for specific functions, such as sending receipts to the management software, performing data updates, and accessing certain customer features.
Scales
Certified Connection.
Scales can be connected to OktoPOS Cash via a certified interface.
Scales can be seamlessly integrated with OktoPOS Cash through a certified interface, allowing the weight to be transmitted directly from the scale to the cash register. The system then calculates the price based on the weight of the selected item. For items that are pre-packed or on a plate, such as at a salad bar, the tare weight of the packaging or plate can be easily deducted with the touch of a button.
Tare weight can also be captured using a barcode or QR code.
Scanner Scales
Scanner scales are used in food retail. The products can be scanned and weighed at the same time.
Locations
- Cafeterias
- Market stalls
- Fruits and vegetables retail
- Bakeries
- Fresh food counters
- Other sales counters with weighing items
- Supermarkets
FAQ - Frequently Asked Questions
How is the scale connected to the cash register?
The scale is connected with a USB plug.
Do I need a separate customer display?
Yes. The weighing result is shown on the customer display of the cash register, but not the course of the weighing process. Therefore, a double-sided display is necessary that both the cashier and the customer can see.
Can I also save shopping carts with weighed articles and finalize them with another cash register?
Yes. The scale can also be used to serve multiple cash registers. E.g. in a bakery or at a fresh food counter.
Cash Register Payment Methods
The OktoPOS System Offers a Wide Range of Payment Methods.
Cash
An integrated cash journal is available.
Cash in Foreign Currency
Any currencies and exchange rates can be stored. The register converts the foreign currency into the base currency of the register.
Checks

Prepaid Cards
Prepaid cards can be easily topped up and sold directly with the cash register. These cards can be used to pay for future purchases in any amount desired. Additionally, prepaid cards can be recharged, offering flexibility and convenience for both customers and businesses.
Customer Credit Account
Customers can top up their credit account and use the balance for future purchases. The deposit is made either via a cash register or via a top-up terminal.
Room Charge
Hotel guests can conveniently charge their bills to their room. This can be managed either through an integrated Property Management System (PMS) or by using the built-in hotel room management feature in OktoPOS.
On Account (Debtor)
Customers have the option to pay by invoice. A payment request, including the payment terms and bank details, is printed directly from the receipt printer.
Customers can be added to the OktoPOS customer database directly at the register. If an e-mail address is provided, the invoice can be sent as a PDF to the customer.
Outstanding balances are managed and cleared in the debtor list within the OktoPOS Manager. In the customer database, customer accounts can be either approved or blocked for invoice payments.
Debit Charge
Open items can be collected as a direct debit. The direct debit file is exported from the OktoPOS Manager and read into the banking program.
Split Payment
All payment methods can be combined with each other, so that a sales transactions can be paid not just with one payment method, but divided into several.
Vouchers
Any type of voucher can be defined as a means of payment in the cash register. The cash reports subdivide the different types of vouchers so that they can be billed to the appropriate clearing account in accounting.
Gift Vouchers
Gift vouchers can either be created at the cash register using the receipt printer or they can be sold via an online shop provided by OktoPOS.
Guest Card (RFID)
Guests are given a guest card when they enter the restaurant, club or disco. Every order is billed on the card. When leaving, the guest pays the accrued amount at the central check-out cash register.
Credit Cards, Maestro, Apple Pay, Google Pay, etc.
These payment types are processed via a connected card payment device.
SitPay
Value vouchers from the cooperation partner SitPay can be redeemed and canceled via the SitPay interface.
Pay Later
Customers can charge their purchases to an account. An existing customer account or one created at the register is selected, allowing the customer to pay their outstanding balance at a later time. This feature is particularly useful in settings like hotels or sports clubs, where members settle their open invoices every six months at the register.
