Cash Drawer Basics

Cash Drawer Breakdown

Let’s take a look at an example cash drawer:

The date listed at the very top corresponds to the date the cash drawer was opened.

Below that is the name of the device that the drawer was opened on. Typically, this will correspond to the device that is utilized as your shop’s register and is a host device for a physical cash drawer.
