Check an ID

When a sale has beer or cigarettes in it, the Merchant Display asks for the customer's age before it takes the money.

A product marked as age restricted shows its age on its tile, such as 21+. Ring the sale as usual. When you take the payment, the Merchant Display stops and asks.

Scan the ID

The panel says the age it needs, and your house rule, such as ask for ID from anyone who looks under 40. With the box Scan the ID selected, scan the barcode on the back of the licence. The Merchant Display reads the date of birth and says "Over 21" or "Under 21", with the age it needs. It also says ID expired when the card is out of date.

If the scanner cannot read it, type the date into Or type the date of birth. A passport's two printed lines scan too, on a scanner that reads them.

If your location requires a scan and the customer shows a passport or a military ID, which have no barcode, a manager, or a cashier the owner has trusted to, taps No barcode on this ID and types the date. The record says it was typed from an ID with no barcode.

Sell, or refuse

If the customer is old enough, tap the sell button, which reads "Over 21, sell" for that age, and the payment goes through as normal.

If the customer is clearly older than your house rule, your owner may have allowed a button that reads "Clearly over 40, no ID needed". Tap it and the sale goes on.

If they are under age, have no ID, or you would rather not sell, tap Under age, refuse. The restricted items come off the sale, the rest can still be sold, and the refusal is recorded. Cancel goes back to the sale with nothing changed.

Not sold now

If a tile says Not sold now, the owner has set hours for that kind and it is outside them. The Merchant Display will not add it.
