What is the difference between ending and closing the cash drawer?

I am not clear on the difference between ending a cash drawer and closing a cash drawer. All I see in the help files is that those actions are not the same. Can anyone explain these concepts to me? Thanks.

Hello @HBry

Thank you for posting in the Seller Community.

When closing a cash drawer, you are recording the actual amount when ending the drawer. Ending a cash drawer is simply clicking “End Drawer” and prevents you from taking payments.
