End-of-Day Reconciliation
At the end of a shift you close out the till: count the cash, compare it to what the POS says you took, check card totals, and file the record. WCPOS tells you what the drawer should hold — the cashier counts it and reconciles manually.
Pro Feature
The Reports screen used for reconciliation requires WCPOS Pro. Without Pro, reconcile from WP Admin → WooCommerce → Analytics.
The short version
- Stop taking sales so nothing lands mid-count.
- Count the drawer — every denomination. That's your counted cash.
- Open Reports, filter to today (and your cashier/store), and read the Cash and Card figures from the Sales Summary.
- Reconcile cash: Opening float + cash sales − cash refunds − cash drops should equal your counted cash.
- Reconcile card: the card terminal's batch total should match the POS card total. Settle the batch if your terminal is manual.
- Print the report, drop the cash, put tomorrow's float back, and sign off.
No built-in till sessions
WCPOS has no opening-float field, drawer-counting, or automated variance calculation — keep the float and drops on a sheet or spreadsheet at the till.
