Point of sale

Process in-person payments and sales directly from your dashboard.

The point of sale (POS) is Arketa's built-in checkout for in-person transactions. Use it to sell classes, packages, memberships, retail items, and gift cards — either to existing clients or walk-in customers.

Access the POS

Go to Point of Sale from the left sidebar of your dashboard. You can also launch it from the check-in screen when adding a client to a class.

Applying discounts and promos

At checkout, you can:

  • Enter a promo code to apply a discount
  • Add a gift card code to use gift card balance
  • Apply account credit from the client's profile

From POS checkout, staff can send a client a payment link by SMS, email, or both so they pay on their own device while you wait at the register. Class and appointment spots can be held for up to 15 minutes. See Send payment links.
