That PIN doesn't match anyone here

Likely cause: The PIN is wrong, or was never set for this business.

Fix:

Try again. A manager can set a new PIN under Staff, then the person, then At the till. After too many wrong PINs, the pad locks for a while.

Till PINs aren't switched on for this business yet

You can't do this at the till. Ask a manager.

Likely cause: Your till permissions don't cover it, such as opening a shift or paying out.

Fix:

Ask a manager to do it, or to change your permissions. See Set till PINs and permissions.

The till shows Offline, or says nothing was taken

Likely cause: The device has no connection. The sale is kept on the device, but payments, shifts and adding customers need a connection.

Fix:

Check the Wi-Fi or mobile data. When the till shows Online again, try the payment again.

The device's clock is ahead or behind

Likely cause: Orders use the device's time, so a wrong clock records sales at the wrong time.

Fix:

Set the date and time to automatic in the device’s settings.

A product is missing, or a price is out of date

Likely cause: The till hasn't synced since the change, or the product is sold out, archived or not sold at the till.

Fix:

In Products, check the product is On sale and sold At the till. Then wait for the till to sync. In the browser till, choose Sync now in Settings.

There's no Till tab in the app

Likely cause: The business has no register yet, or your role doesn't sell. Developer and analyst logins don't get the till.

Fix:

Ask an owner, admin or manager to make a register under Registers in the dashboard. Then close the app and open it again.

The till won't let me leave

Likely cause: The device is a dedicated till. Only the person signed in to Tuppence on it can leave, with Face ID.

Fix:

That person chooses Leave the till in the menu. Otherwise, choose Sign out and leave, or untick Dedicated till for the device on the dashboard’s Devices page.

The till says a feature is coming

Likely cause: Some features, such as scanning or selling by weight, aren't built yet.
