+No repair shop is complete without a couple of cash drawers. They make your life easier than ever but the real struggle is to manage them virtually on a POS. Luckily, RepairDesk allows you to map physical cash drawers to virtual cash drawers of your POS.
+
+We support cash drawers through Star TSP Printer. This means that cash drawers have to be connected to the printer. Through the printer software configuration, you can set up cash drawer to open every time the printer prints the receipt. It also assists with [start and end shift functionality.](https://repairdesk.uservoice.com/knowledgebase/articles/1822018-how-to-start-and-end-shift-in-ipad-app) By setting the cash drawer you can easily manage cash in each shift and keep the track record of cash management by employees working in shifts.
+
+Technically, RepairDesk iPad POS Register app will support any brand or model of cash drawer that can be connected to Star TSP Printer, as long as it supports the connection of a cash drawer.
+
+**How it Works?**
+-----------------
+
+Before proceeding, make sure that cash drawer is unlocked and Star TSP printer is connected with RepairDesk iPad POS Register app on the same network. To connect the printer, follow the link **[here](https://repairdesk.uservoice.com/knowledgebase/articles/1878283-how-to-setup-star-tsp-printer-for-repairdesk-ipad)****.**
+
+To make the cash drawer works, follow the steps below
+
+
+
+1. Once the printer is connected to RepairDesk iPad POS Register app, **Open Cash Drawer** button will be displayed on POS screen as shown below. By hitting the button you can get the cash drawer open.
+
+
+
+2\. To automatically open the cash drawer when the receipt is printed out, you have to enable this trigger from hardware settings screen as shown below.
+
+If the trigger is enabled, you will get the cash drawer automatically opened every time when the receipt is printed.
+
+
+
+**_Note: In case if the trigger is disabled, you will not get the cash drawer opened automatically on printing receipt. It will work only by hitting Cash Drawer button from POS when required_****_._**
+
+
+
+**Setting up Cash Registers**
+-----------------------------
+
+**1\.** Click on **Module Configuration >> Cash Registers** and **Enable** the module (if it is not enabled).
+
+ 
+
+
+
+
+
+**2\.** To **create** a new register, simply click on the **Cash Register** button in green (refer to the image above). A pop up will be shown to you where you can enter the register name and save the register.
+
+
+
+
+
+**3\.** On the **POS** screen, you will be shown the following pop up where you will be asked to select the register (on which you wish to start the shift).
+
+
+
+
+
+**4\.** Simply click on the **Start Shift** button against the register and your transactions will be logged in that register.
+
+**5\.** If you are using the shift and then login again from another browser or system, you will be shown the following pop up.
+
+
+
+**Note:** If you click on the **Make Transactions Without Shift** button, your transactions will be logged as opened from this browser. If you click on the **Continue Using Shift** button, your transactions will be logged in the same register and you will be allowed to end the shift from this browser as well.
+
+**6\.** If you want your employees to use the same register, simply click on the **Switch User** button and they will be allowed to make transactions in the same register.
+
+**How to Set Up a Cash Drawer / Till?**
+---------------------------------------
+
+**1\.** Click on the **Cash Drawer** in the **Cash Register** settings. Cash Drawer settings are based on currency, value and positions in the cash drawer to keep all the currency.
+
+**2\.** There are default cash drawer settings in $ currency. You can edit it based on your own currency, value and position of cash drawer. You can also add new lines to set it.
+
+
+
+
+
+**Setting up Configurations and Notifications**
+-----------------------------------------------
+
+**1\.** Click on the **Configurations** tab where you will view the settings for the cash register. With the help of configuration settings, you can make the start and end shift option as mandatory. This means that the user will not be allowed to make a transaction given the start shift trigger is enabled.
+
+**2\.** Similarly, the user will not be allowed to logout the system if the **end shift** trigger is enabled. They will have to end the running shift first.
+
+
+
+**3\.** An option of **automatically closing the shift register** has also been introduced in the register shift module. This will ask you for a time at which you want to automatically end your shift(s) for the day. An SMS / Email reminder will also be sent to the **selected employee** from the **Notification** settings if the last trigger is enabled.
+
+
+
+**_Please note that the shift will automatically be closed if the relevant trigger is enabled (whether the employee is using the system or not)._**
+
+**Updated Register Shift Functionality**
+----------------------------------------
+
+**1\.** Click on the **Edit** or **Create** button and you will be asked to update the register shift functionality where the **employee selection** will be mandatory.
+
+
+
+**Note:** Once you save the settings with the updated functionality, you won’t be allowed to shift back which means that the employee selection option will be mandatory when creating a register.
+
+
+
+**2\.** After saving the register, the names of the employees will be shown against the registers.
+
+
+
+**Note:** In order to update or create a cash register, please make sure to close all your running shifts first.
+
+
+
+**3\.** An employee started a shift on **Register 1.** In the following pop up, that employee will only be shown the registers against which they are given access.
+
+
+
+
+
+**4\.** Another employee who has access to **Register 1** logs in. In this case, they will be shown the option to **join** the already running shift.
+
+
+
+Now both the employees will be able to make transactions in **Register 1.**
+
+**_Please note that the user who joins the shift will not be allowed to end the shift. They will be given the option to leave the existing shift. Also, they will have to join the shift again if the user or store is switched._**
