  2. Scan in the retail item: If you use a barcode scanner, simply scan in the item and it will go right into the shopping cart.  The barcode will register in the Barcode field in the upper right. *Any barcode scanner that connects through USB will work for use with Gingr. Bluetooth scanners will not be compatible but any USB scanner will work just fine.

    • Enter keywords in the Tags field to search by tags.

    • Or enter keywords in the Search field to search for an item by name.

    • You can also just browse the images of items, which you can toggle to view in list or grid form. 

  4. Click the + price button to add it to the shopping cart.

  5. Repeat, until you have entered all items for purchase!

From the Cart

If your facility uses a barcode scanner, simply scan the item's barcode while checking out in the cart and the item will be added. *Any barcode scanner that connects through USB will work for use with Gingr. Bluetooth scanners will not be compatible but any USB scanner will work just fine.

Important! You must place your cursor in the box that says Scan Barcode Here... before scanning the barcode.

FAQ: Check this out!

 

Can I sell/refund a retail item to a customer who is not in the system?

Yes, of course you can! All you have to do is put your retail items in the cart and check them out. Gingr does not require that you attach an owner to a transaction.

However, if you are doing a retail-only transaction with a customer who is in the system, it's generally a good idea to select the owner in the checkout window, because then the receipt is automatically sent to them and there's a record of their purchase in their transactions history. Also, if they have a card on file, you can use it to complete the transaction.
