BLAZE uses terminals to track inventory and cash drawers.
Overview
Terminal Types Explained
- By Active Device Terminal: If you have a storefront with a few iPads with Budtenders that float between the different devices with fixed cash drawers, this is the setting for you.
- To Assigned Employee's Terminal: If you want your employees to have their own cash drawers that record their specific sales, this is the setting for you. BLAZE recommends this setting to best keep track of specific employee activity.
- To Assigned Terminal of Employee Who Completed the Transaction: If you want your device's terminal to be assigned to the employee who last completed the transaction, this is the setting for you.
