# 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](/getting-started/pro-license.md). Without Pro, reconcile from `WP Admin → WooCommerce → Analytics`.

## The short version[​](#the-short-version "Direct link to The short version")

1. **Stop taking sales** so nothing lands mid-count.
2. **Count the drawer** — every denomination. That's your *counted cash*.
3. **Open Reports**, filter to today (and your cashier/store), and read the **Cash** and **Card** figures from the Sales Summary.
4. **Reconcile cash:** *Opening float + cash sales − cash refunds − cash drops* should equal your counted cash.
5. **Reconcile card:** the card terminal's batch total should match the POS card total. Settle the batch if your terminal is manual.
6. **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.
