A cash tender of KES 3,150 gives KES 100 change for this example. Check the actual sale settings; this worksheet does not determine the merchant’s tax treatment.
Read the receipt in order
- Confirm the merchant’s configured name and public business details.
- Check that Keyboard and Mouse have clear quantities and unit descriptions.
- Compare the total, payment method and any cash change with the completed sale.
- Check the sale date, branch and counter context against the POS records.
- Place the cashier display name at the receipt footer; avoid exposing the cashier’s personal email.
Test the actual printing route
Use Print / save PDF for a sample receipt and inspect the paper size, margins, text size and clipped columns. Test your intended printer and browser together. A browser print preview is not certification that every thermal printer, paper cutter or cash drawer will work.
Sales receipt and fiscal invoice are different
eTIMS submission is not connected. The sales receipt must not imply that KRA accepted or validated it. Do not add a fabricated tax control number or claim fiscal integration on a sample receipt. Provider onboarding and a tested authorised connector are separate from the receipt layout.
Receipt acceptance sheet
These checkboxes are a temporary reading aid. Refreshing the page clears them.
Business-specific detail to keep visible
The POS does not maintain individual serial custody or software-entitlement records. Keep warranty and licensing documentation separately.
Product fit for this business
Separate sizes, colours and models can use separate items. Serial numbers, IMEI custody, warranty and repair ledgers are not included.
All amounts and product movements on this page are illustrative. The public demo uses sample records. Use an isolated test installation for rehearsal and replace sample prices and counts before real trading.
Try the workflow before choosing your setup
The launch software licence is KES 4,999 once for one business installation, including its branches and tills. Hardware, installation, hosting, support and future upgrades have separate terms. These planning guides do not activate a licence or deploy an installation.
