The till app in the browser – pairing a device
Turn a tablet or PC into a fixed till with the till app in the browser (*Kasse-appen i nettleseren*). The device is paired with a code, and staff sign in with their till PIN.
The till app in the browser turns a tablet or PC into a fixed till – with nothing to install. The device is connected to one register with a one-time code, and staff sign in with their till PIN (kasse-PIN) instead of an email and password. It works the same way as the till app on Android.
Before you start
- The feature must be switched on for your store by Cmerce. If it is not, you will not see the browser section in «Par enhet» (Pair device).
- The register must already exist. See Registers and locations.
- Staff need a role with till access and a till PIN. See Users, roles and permissions.
How to pair the tablet or PC
- Open the admin panel on another device and go to «Kasse (POS)» → «Kasser» (Registers).
- Press «Par enhet» on the register. Under «Kasse-app i nettleseren (nettbrett / PC)» (Till app in the browser – tablet / PC) a code in the form
XXXX-XXXXand a QR code are shown. - On the tablet: scan the QR code with the camera. Or open your store's address followed by
/kasseappin the browser. - The «Koble til kasse» (Connect to register) screen appears. If you did not use the QR code, type the code in «Paringskode» (Pairing code).
- The device connects to the register and shows the sign-in screen.
- Add the page to the home screen so it opens as its own app.
The code is valid for 10 minutes and can only be used once. Close and reopen «Par enhet» for a new code.
How staff sign in
- Tap your name under «Trykk på navnet ditt» (Tap your name).
- Type your till PIN. With a 6-digit PIN you are signed in as soon as the sixth digit is typed.
If it says «Ingen ansatte har kasse-PIN ennå» (No staff have a till PIN yet), an administrator must set one under «Innstillinger» (Settings) → «Tilgang og sikkerhet» (Access and security) → «Brukere» (Users) → edit the user → «Kasse-PIN».
Locking the till and switching operator
Press «Lås» (Lock) at the top of the till to lock it or let another employee sign in.
- If the same employee signs in again, the sale carries on where it was.
- If a different employee signs in while a sale is in progress, the sale is parked automatically with the label «Operatørbytte» (Operator change). A sale is never split between two employees.
- If the sale cannot be parked, only the same employee or a manager can sign in.
- The till cannot be locked while a card or Vipps payment is in progress.
See Parking and recalling sales.
Automatic locking
The till locks itself and asks for the PIN again after 5 minutes without being touched. You can change the time per register:
- Go to «Kasse (POS)» → «Kasser» and edit the register.
- Under «Enhetsbinding» (Device binding): fill in «Lås kasse-appen etter (minutter)» (Lock the till app after, minutes) (1–240).
- Save. An empty field means the default (5 minutes).
Good to know
- The register is bound to the device. If you pair a new device to the same register, the old one is disconnected automatically.
- The ordinary web till still works. «Åpne kasse» (Open till) in the admin panel opens the web till with normal sign-in, alongside the till app in the browser.
- If you clear the browser data on the device, it has to be paired again.
- The device appears under «Enheter» (Devices) with the platform «Nettleser» (Browser). If you revoke it there, it has to be paired again. See Managing and retiring devices.
- After the end-of-day report the till app in the browser returns to the same register.
- A till PIN only gives access to the till. An employee signed in with a PIN cannot get into the admin panel.
