How to Use the POS Register in Katalo (Step by Step)

Beyond your online catalog, Katalo includes a built-in POS register for recording sales on the spot — whether at a physical stall, a café counter, or over the phone. Every transaction syncs with your catalog automatically, so your sales history is always up to date.

This guide explains how to record a sale using Katalo's POS register, from selecting the first product to placing the order. Learn more about the free POS app from Katalo.

Before You Start

Your products need to be in your catalog first — the register pulls from there. Haven't added products yet? Follow the guide on how to add products to Katalo.

Steps to Record a Sale

1Open POS → New Order

From your dashboard, open the POS menu and select New Order. The register screen opens: your product list on the left, and the Order summary on the right.

2Select products

Use the Search products field or the Category filter to find a product, then click it to add it to the Order. Each additional click on the same product increases the quantity.

3Adjust quantities

In the Order panel, use the +/− buttons or type the quantity directly. To remove a single item, delete it from the list; to clear everything, use Clear all. The Subtotal updates automatically.

4Enter customer info (optional)

In the Customer info section, you can fill in a Customer name and Phone number. This step is optional — skip it if you don't need it, or fill it in for easier follow-up and record keeping.

5Choose a payment method

Select the Payment method the customer is using:

• Cash — physical cash payment.
• QRIS — QR code scan.
• Card — debit or credit card.
• Transfer — bank transfer.

6Place the order

When everything is correct, click Place Order. The transaction is recorded immediately with an order number and added to Order History — ready to review and manage at any time.

Tips for Using the Register

• Use categories. Category filters speed up product lookup during a busy rush — set them up in your product catalog first.
• Record the customer name for important orders. Makes it easy to look up a transaction if a customer comes back with a question.
• Pick the right payment method. This keeps your sales reports accurate per payment type.

What's Next

Every transaction you record is saved in Order History. You can also set up QR table ordering for dine-in so customers place orders from their own phone.
