# POS Settings

**POS settings:** Settings in the POS changes this device only.

**Settings** is where you set up how the POS works on this device: the language and the way money is written, how tax shows, the printers, card readers and scanners at this till, a customer display, and how the POS looks. There's no Save button: a change takes effect as soon as you make it.

What you change here is kept on this device, the **Tax** rows included: a reload or a sync with your store keeps it. Another till keeps its own settings, so set each till up on that till.

Who can use the POS, the payment methods at checkout and your registers aren't set here: they're set in WordPress. See [Settings in WP Admin](#wp-admin).

## Open Settings[​](#open "Enlace directo a Open Settings")

On a phone, tap the menu (**☰**) at the top left, then **Settings**. See [On a phone](#phone).

On a wider screen, click **Settings** near the foot of the side menu, between **Store health** and **Support**. Settings opens on **General**, with its seven pages listed beside it. Click a page to open it. When you're done, click **POS** at the top of the side menu to go back to the till.

1. **Settings** — in the side menu, under **Store health** (the pulse with the red count) and above **Support**.
2. **General** — the store's name, the language, the default customer on a new cart, and how money is written: currency, decimals and separators. **Restore Server Settings** is at its foot. See [General](/es/settings/store-defaults.md).
3. **Tax** — what tax is worked out from, and whether prices show with or without it. See [Tax](/es/settings/tax/pos-tax.md).
4. **Printing** — the receipt printers this device prints to, and which printer each receipt template uses. See [Printers](/es/hardware/receipt-printers.md).
5. **Card readers** — the card readers this till takes payments with: connect, disconnect or forget one. Card readers come with WCPOS Pro. See [Card Readers](/es/hardware/card-readers.md).
6. **Customer Display** — pair a second screen that faces the customer. Customer displays come with WCPOS Pro. See [Pair a customer display](#customer-display).
7. **Barcode Scanning** — set up and test this till's barcode scanner. If a scan isn't picked up, or typing is taken for a scan, see [Barcode Settings](/es/hardware/barcode-scanners/scanner-settings.md).
8. **Theme** — the colours, the size of buttons and text, the icons and the fonts. See [Theme](/es/settings/theme.md).

Restore Server Settings replaces your changes

**Restore Server Settings** replaces the **General** and **Tax** values you changed on this device with your store's values, all but **Thousands Group Style**. Printers, scanners and the theme stay as they are. See [Restore Server Settings](/es/settings/store-defaults.md#restore-server-settings).

A row that reads **Set in WooCommerce** shows a value your store sends, such as its address or **Enable Taxes**. You can't change it here: press **Open** beside it to change it in WooCommerce.

7. **Theme** — see [Theme](/es/settings/theme.md).

## Keyboard shortcuts[​](#shortcuts "Enlace directo a Keyboard shortcuts")

There's no settings page for keyboard shortcuts, and they can't be changed. On the POS screen, press **Alt + /** to see them all. See [Keyboard Shortcuts](/es/sell/keyboard-shortcuts.md).

## Settings in WP Admin[​](#wp-admin "Enlace directo a Settings in WP Admin")

Who can use the POS, the payment gateways at checkout, registers and their floats, the emails sent for POS orders, and your store's tax IDs are set in WordPress, under `WP Admin > POS > Settings`, not in the app. See [WordPress Admin Settings](/es/settings/wp-admin-settings.md).

## If something goes wrong[​](#goes-wrong "Enlace directo a If something goes wrong")

**Another till looks or works differently.** Each device keeps its own settings. Open **Settings** on that till and set it there too.

**A value doesn't match WooCommerce.** Restoring replaces the **General** and **Tax** values you changed on this device with your store's values, all but **Thousands Group Style**. Printers, scanners and the theme stay as they are. Press **Restore Server Settings** at the foot of **General**. See [Restore Server Settings](/es/settings/store-defaults.md#restore-server-settings).

**No card readers are set up for this store.** Card readers are set up on the payment gateway's page in WooCommerce first, and they need WCPOS Pro. See [Payment Gateways](/es/settings/checkout/payment-gateways.md).

**Customer displays are a Pro feature.** Your store runs the free plugin. See [WCPOS Pro](/es/getting-started/pro-license.md). If it says **Customer displays need a newer version of WCPOS Pro**, update the Pro plugin in WordPress.
