How to Hold a Receipt in QuickBooks Point of Sale


A girl making a time out sign with her hands

There are times when a customer begins ordering items but has to break for one reason or the next. For example, a customer might need to pick up another item but will return to complete cashing out in short order. Waiting on this customer can really hurt the efficiency of your business so what do you do? You simply put the receipt on hold and then continue to process other transactions until the customer gets back. Here is how you do that using QuickBooks Point of Sale;


1. Click on 'make a sale'

Select make a sale to start the transaction.
