How do I require employee login to conduct sales on Square POS?

Hi all, thank you for your assistance.  How do I force the input of an employee passcode at the beginning of a shift and not allow any sales without the POS being logged in?   Thanks again!

@svdpuniontown Device Codes, team permissions, and security set to auto log out after say 5 mins in the point of sale app.  You require the passcodes and no one can ring anything up without logging in.

Hi @svdpuniontown - Thanks for reaching out! Iโ€™m so glad you could join our Square Community ๐Ÿ˜Š

 

As @Donnie-M  mentioned, you can enable certain settings in the app by going to More > Settings > Security to require a passcode. I hope this helps. If you need anything else, feel free to reach out!
