Keep the counter open when something goes wrong

A dead connection does not stop the queue, and a wrong clock does not either. When the disk is full, the sale does not go through, and SellyPOS tells you why.

3 things it does

Your counter keeps selling when the internet goes down

In every edition

Can I finish a sale when the internet is down? Yes. A sale can be finished with zero network connection, so a dead connection does not stop the counter.

Without it

The internet goes down in the middle of a busy hour. If the till needs the connection to finish a sale, the queue stops with it.

With it

You finish the sale as usual. A dead connection does not stop the counter.

The till does not wait for the internet to come back before it completes a sale. A line that is down does not stop the counter, so the customers keep being served.

Other ways people ask this
  • pos works without an internet connection
  • can I still sell when the internet is down
  • offline point of sale for a shop

A wrong computer clock does not stop you selling

In every edition

What happens to sales if the computer's clock is set wrong? Selling carries on when the clock looks wrong. A clock warning appears on screen without stopping the cashier.

Without it

The computer's clock can go wrong. A warning that stopped the till would hold up the customer you are serving and the queue behind them.

With it

You keep selling. A clock warning appears on the screen, and the sales are still recorded while you carry on.

The warning does not stop the sale, so you finish the customer you are serving. The sales still go on record, and the warning does not get in the way of the till.

Other ways people ask this
  • software keeps working when the computer clock is wrong
  • pos clock warning wrong date on computer
  • sales continue when the system date is incorrect

A full disk stops the sale with a clear message, not a damaged file

In every edition

What happens to my sales if the computer's disk fills up completely? Selling fails safely with a clear message, and the data is not corrupted. Selling starts again once space is freed on the disk.

Without it

A disk that fills up in the middle of a sale can leave the shop's records in a muddle. You may not know what was saved.

With it

The sale does not go through. SellyPOS says plainly that it did not complete, and your cart stays as it was.

When the disk has no room left, a sale stops and SellyPOS tells you it did not complete. Your cart stays exactly as it was, so you can try again. The shop's data is not damaged. Selling starts again once you have made room on the disk.

Other ways people ask this
  • what happens to pos sales when the hard drive is full
  • software stops selling when the computer disk is full
  • sale not saved when computer storage is full
