Who Is This For?
StoreHub merchants who need to add customers to transactions, redeem store credit or cashback, edit customer details, or set up QR-based loyalty redemption on POS.
Overview
This article covers how to manage customer records directly from your POS register. You will learn how to add new customers, select existing customers, add customers via QR code or barcode scanning, redeem store credit (Retail) or cashback (F&B) after adding a customer, edit customer details, and set up the QR Display for Loyalty Redemption feature so customers can redeem cashback by scanning a QR code.
Before You Begin
You must be signed in to the StoreHub POS app with your 4-digit PIN.
Same-day cancellations can only be done while the shift is still open.
Refunds and cancellations only apply to offline POS transactions (not e-commerce, Beep Delivery, or online orders).
For pre-orders: the pre-order must be collected (completed) before it can be cancelled or refunded.
Step-by-Step Guide
Cancel a Transaction from POS (Same Day)
Use this when the transaction was made during the current shift and the shift is still open.
Notes:
You can only cancel transactions on the same day.
If the shift is closed, you cannot cancel transactions from that shift, even if it is the same day.
For transactions from previous days, the 'Cancel Transaction' button will be greyed out. Use 'Issue Refund' instead.
1. On your POS, tap the menu icon on the top left, then tap 'Transactions'.
2. Find the transaction you need to cancel. Tap on it and check the details.
3. Tap 'Cancel Transaction', then tap 'OK' to confirm.
4. Select a reason for the cancellation from the list, then tap 'Confirm'.
The transaction is now cancelled. You will see the updated status on the Transactions screen.
Understanding the Cancellation Receipt
After cancelling, you can print or email a receipt to the customer.
Printed thermal receipt: clearly shows the transaction has been cancelled.
Emailed receipt: the subject line will say 'Cancellation Receipt' (not 'Invoice'), and the specific cancellation reason will be included.
Note:
The updated email cancellation receipt with the cancellation reason applies to non-BIR receipts only.
Change an Item or Modifier in an Existing Order
If a customer wants to change an item in their order before it is completed:
1. In the 'Transactions' list, tap on the order you want to change.
2. Tap on the specific item you need to edit.
3. Adjust the modifiers as the customer requested.
4. Tap 'Update'.
5. A new kitchen docket will be printed. The changed modifier will appear with a strikethrough on the docket.
Cancel a Transaction from BackOffice
Use this only when you cannot cancel from the POS. Cancelling from BackOffice is not recommended because it may cause your Sales Over Time and Shift Reports to not tally.
Notes:
This only applies to offline POS transactions.
Cancellations from BackOffice will not sync back to your POS.
We recommend cancelling same-day transactions from POS instead.
1. In your BackOffice, go to 'Transactions'.
2. Select the transaction you want to cancel.
3. Tap 'Cancel Transaction' on the top right corner of the page.
4. Type the word 'CANCEL' in the confirmation field, then tap 'Cancel Transaction' to confirm.
Notes:
The Transaction Details page will show 'Transaction Type: Sale (Cancelled)'.
The Transactions list will also show the cancelled status.
Refund a Transaction from POS
Use this to refund a completed transaction. The refund is linked to the original transaction.
Note:
Refunds can only be done once per transaction.
1. In the StoreHub POS app, go to 'Transactions'.
2. Select the transaction to be refunded, then tap 'Issue Refund'.
3. Remove any items that should not be refunded, and edit the quantity if needed.
4. Make sure the remaining items and quantities are correct, then tap 'Next'.
5. Select a refund method and a refund reason (or tap 'Other' to type your own reason), then tap 'Confirm'.
6. The refund is complete. View the refund transaction in 'Transactions'. The original receipt number will appear when you tap the refunded transaction.
Note:
Tap 'Refund for# XXXXXXXXXXX' to return to the original transaction.
7. In your BackOffice, decide whether to restock the item back to inventory or write off the stock. See 'Complete a Return in BackOffice' below.
Refund Items Manually on POS (Manual Return)
Use this when you need to refund an item that is not linked to a specific transaction. A manual refund creates a new refund transaction.

Cancel a Pre-Order on POS

A pre-order that has not been collected cannot be cancelled because it is not a complete transaction.

FAQs
1. What is the difference between cancelling and refunding a transaction?
Cancellation voids the entire transaction on the same day while the shift is open. A refund reverses a completed transaction (full or partial) and can be done on a different day.
2. What is the difference between a manual refund and a transaction refund?
A transaction refund is linked to an existing completed transaction and uses the original receipt number. A manual refund lets you select any item from the register screen and is not linked to any specific transaction.
3. Can I cancel a transaction from a previous day?
No. Use Issue Refund instead for transactions from previous days.
4. Do I need to restock returned items?
Yes, you should decide in BackOffice whether to restock the item (add it back to inventory) or write it off (keep inventory as is).
5. Can I cancel a Beep Delivery or online order from POS?
No. Cancellations and refunds on POS only apply to offline POS transactions.
6. Why does the emailed receipt say 'Cancellation Receipt' instead of 'Invoice'?
An Invoice means a sale was completed. A Cancellation Receipt clearly shows the transaction was voided, avoiding confusion for you and your customer.
