Benefits of Cash Drawers in Erply

The Power of Choice
Cash drawers are incredibly easy to set up in Erply, giving you more flexibility when it comes to the setup of your store. Add or remove cash drawers at any time while still keeping consistent day-to-day cash flow reports.

No Cash Drawer: Great for stores that allow customers to pay online and pickup in-store.
Hybrid Setup: Often used in stores that have dedicated cash registers and mobile employees.

Track Manual Cash Drawer Opens
Erply creates a record whenever the cash drawer is opened that can be viewed at the register or in the back office. Cash drawer records give detailed information, such as who opened the cash drawer and what time they opened it.
