Create bookings using Easol’s ‘speedy booking’ POS interface

If you’re selling variants and/or extras, you can create walk-in bookings using Easol’s POS interface.

The POS interface is a tablet-friendly selling screen designed for fast, in-person sales. It automatically reserves inventory and allows you to:

• Take payments using Easol’s integrated Stripe card readers
• Mark payments as paid off-platform (e.g. cash or external card reader)

Note: The POS interface can’t be used to sell bundled packages or edit existing bookings.

Before you start

Make sure your POS is set up and your team has access.

Invite your team

1. Invite team members to your Easol dashboard
2. Give anyone managing POS configurations the Manage POS permission
3. POS operators are added when creating a POS configuration

Create a POS configuration

POS configurations define what can be sold and who can operate the POS.

1. Go to Settings → Point of sale
2. Click Create POS config
3. Enter a name (e.g. Merch Desk)
4. Add operators (team members handling on-the-door sales)
5. Select the variants and extras you want to sell

Launch the POS

1. Open a POS configuration
2. Click Launch
3. Select your user (if prompted)

Note: If the POS is idle for 15 minutes, the cart will reset.

Create a walk-in booking

1. Select the guest count and (if applicable) date/time slot
2. Add a customer (first name and email are required)
3. Add items to the cart — inventory is reserved immediately

Take payment

Click Take payment, then choose one of the following options:

• Card payment via reader
• Mark as paid off-platform (cash or external card reader)
• Custom amount (e.g. deposit)
• Even split (for groups paying separately)

Receipts are automatically emailed to the customer after payment. Customers can also scan a QR code on screen to access their receipt.

Reporting

• POS bookings appear as Point of sale in the Bookings report
• The team member who created the booking appears in the Created by column
• Card reader payments show Terminal as the payment source
