Our final step will be setting up the POS Settings. This tutorial will help you to navigate this section and understand how to customize your Floranext POS to your liking.
To start, we will navigate to Settings > POS Settings.
Ticket Options
Ticket Type: Select the kind of paper your tickets are printed on.
Ticket Format: There is two selections, "classic" and "new". We recommend "new".
Add Store Info To Ticket: If you would like to add your store logo and/or site url, select "Yes" from the drop-down. Otherwise, leave at "No".
Custom Message: Use this section to add text that will appear on the back of the folded card.
Ticket Left Margin: You shouldn't have to worry with this section - however, if you find your ticket is printing slightly off, you can adjust the margins by inches here.
Ticket Top Margin: You shouldn't have to worry with this section - however, if you find your ticket is printing slightly off, you can adjust the margins by inches here.
Card Message Options
Font: Choose the font style of the messages on your printed cards. You can pick between Script, Times New Romans & Arial.

Align: Choose where you want the card message to be aligned. You can choose between Center, Left or Right.
House Account Options
Statement Format: Choose the default for how your House Account Statements appear. We recommend "List View" - which will show you all of your House Account statements. However, you can also choose the "30/60/90 List" which is the aged view. This will break down your statements into 30 days, 60 days and 90 days.
Statement Invoice Number: If you have a customer that works with a business that needs to have an invoice number on the print-out, you would select "Yes" on this drop down. Otherwise, you can leave it at "No".
Add Store Address To Statement: If you would like your store's address shown on the House Account Statement, select "Yes". If not, select "No".
Add Store Info to Invoice: If you would like your store's information show on the Invoices, select "Yes". If not, select "No".
Custom Text For Statement: You can use this section to enter the "Payment Due" information on your House Account Statements. (For example, "Thank you for your business. Payment is due upon receipt and will be subject to a 5% late fee if payment is not received by Aug 1. 2014. Please remit payment to The Flower Shop.")
Print Select Invoices on House Account: If you would like to be able to print individual orders onto an invoice, select "Yes". If you would like to keep your House Accounts to printing only a full statement, select "No".
Generate Statements by: You can have the House Account statements generated by the day the order was placed, or the delivery date.
Email Statement Custom Text: You can use this section to enter the invoice number and other information on your House Account Statements. (For example, "Your invoice from _____ is attached. Thank you for trusting our shop with you order. Please submit payment as indicate on the attached document.")

(For instance, if they buy flowers for a "Birthday" event, an email will be sent to them next year to remind them to order more.)
Search Product Upgrades: If you set this to "Yes", whenever you search for a product, it will show it by all size (Good, Better, Best). If you choose "No", it will only show you the smallest size.
