Completing a transaction on Register

Your First Transaction on Register

Congratulations on setting up your new Register account! We designed Register to make in-person transactions at your farm stands and farmers markets faster and more seamless. To place your first order, follow the instructions below.

How to complete a transaction on Register

First, if you have a customer that has shopped from you before from your online GrownBy Marketplace, you can add them to the cart following these instructions. It is ideal to add known customers to their orders so you can both easily track past orders and apply Farm Credit if they have any available.

Now that you have your cart ready for a known customer or walk-in customer, you can start adding their products to the cart. Select the items they would like to purchase and once their cart is full, you have the option to add a discount to their order or an order note.

Adding order notes to Register

After you've added what you need to your customer's order, tap Charge and it will take you to the checkout screen. The following payment options are available:

Tap to Pay
Stripe Card Reader
Fortis Card Reader
Cash
Manual
Farm Credit
SNAP/EBT* (available for Register soon)

The checkout screen shows the amount due at the top and the payment methods on the side. Choose how your customer wants to pay:

Card (Tap to Pay, Stripe Card Reader, or Fortis Card Reader) — press Start Payment, and your customer can tap, insert, or swipe their card whenever they're ready.
Cash — the amount field starts filled in with the balance due, and quick-amount buttons help you ring up round amounts. Enter what the customer hands you and the screen shows how much change to give back.
Manual — record a payment taken outside the app, such as a check or a market voucher. Pick the payment type, confirm the amount, and add an optional note.

You don't have to collect the whole balance on a single method — you can apply a partial payment on one method and cover the rest with another (for example, some Farm Credit and the remainder on a card). The header updates to show the amount still remaining until the order is paid in full.

When the payment is complete, you'll see a Order Created screen confirming the order is Paid, along with the total. From there, under Would you like a receipt?, you can Print Receipt (if a printer is connected) or Send Receipt via Text to the customer's phone. Tap Done to finish. That's all you need to do to complete your first purchase — enjoy using Register!
