How to Manage Incoming QR Orders on POS

Who Is This For?

Cashiers and store managers who handle live QR Order and Pay orders on the StoreHub POS - adding items to a Pay Later table, cancelling an order, adding kitchen notes, and printing an order summary on the receipt printer.

Overview

QR incoming orders on POS screen

Day to day tasks on the POS:

  • 'Add items' to a Pay Later open order (e.g., extra drinks the customer wants after they have already ordered).

  • 'Cancel a QR order' directly on the POS without contacting StoreHub Support.

  • 'Add item-level or order-level notes' so the kitchen sees special instructions.

  • 'Print an order summary' on a receipt printer for every incoming QR order.

Note:

  • To configure online order notifications, set the main register, and toggle the QR channel online/offline, see here.


Before You Begin

  • QR Order and Pay must be enabled. See here.

  • Update your StoreHub POS app:

    • 'Adding items to Pay Later orders:' Android only.

    • 'Cancel QR order:' Android 'v1.24+' or new iOS POS 'v1.0+'.

  • Ensure the cashier signing in has permission to perform refunds/cancellations.


Step-by-Step Guide

Add Items to a Pay Later Open Order

When a customer at a Dine In Pay Later table wants to order more (e.g., another drink), the cashier can add items via the POS, no need for the customer to scan again.

1. On the POS, tap 'Open Orders' icon.

POS register top-left Open Orders button highlighted.

2. Tap the open order (table) you want to add items to.

3. A pop-up warns that 'promotions and cashback' on the original order will be removed. Tap 'Checkout' to proceed.

Note:

  • Tell the customer they will need to re-apply any promotions or cashback through the Beep app before paying.

4. Tap the items you want to add. The new items appear in a separate list labelled 'Placed by [Cashier Name]' below the original 'Placed by Customer' list.

Note:

  • You cannot add items with 'variable pricing' to QR orders. Variable pricing is POS-only and you will see an error if you try.

5. Tap 'Save' to lock in the order. A new kitchen docket prints for just the added items.

6. When the customer is ready to pay, tap the total amount at the bottom right to go to checkout.

Note:

  • If the customer is currently paying on their phone, the POS locks the order for 5 minutes (or until payment finishes). You also cannot merge, split, or move the table during this time.

You can cancel any QR order directly on the POS within '7 days' of completion. After 7 days, contact StoreHub Support.

1. On the POS, tap 'Transactions' then switch to the 'Online' tab.

2. Tap the QR order you want to cancel.

3. Tap the three-dot menu (top-right of the order detail) and select 'Cancel Transaction'.

What Happens After Cancellation

  • The cancellation 'fully reverses' the amount paid (including cashback, voucher, promotion, and inventory).

  • 'Partial refunds are not supported'. If you only need a partial refund, contact StoreHub Support via live chat.

  • For non-cash payments, the customer is refunded to the original payment method:

Customer-Side Notes (Beep App)

Customers can also add their own item-level instructions in the Beep app. Tap an item, then 'Add Special Instruction', type the note, then 'Save and Add to Cart'. Their note prints on the same docket.

Print Order Summary for Every QR Order

When you want a paper trail for every incoming QR order (separate from the kitchen docket), enable Order Summary printing.

1. On the POS, go to 'Settings'.

2. Tap 'Printer', then 'Search Printer'.

3. Select the receipt printer you want to use.

4. Toggle 'Order Summary Beep QR' 'On'.

POS Printer Settings with the Order Summary Beep QR toggle switched on.

5. (Optional) Repeat for additional printers. You can enable Order Summary printing on more than one printer.

Every incoming QR order (Pay Now, Pay Later, or Pay at Counter) now prints an order summary on the assigned printer.


Troubleshooting

Issue

What to do

I can't see the option to add items to a Pay Later order.

This feature is 'Android POS only'. Confirm the device is Android and the StoreHub POS app is up to date.

Customer's promotion/cashback disappeared after I added an item.

Expected behaviour - the promotion is removed when the order is edited. Ask the customer to re-apply it in the Beep app before paying.

Cancel Transaction is greyed out.

The order is more than 7 days old - contact StoreHub Support via live chat to refund.

Customer requests a partial refund.

Partial refunds are not supported on POS. Contact StoreHub Support via live chat.

Customer paid for an item that is now out of stock.

Negotiate a swap. If not possible, cancel the full order on POS (or contact Support for a partial refund). To prevent this, mark items out of stock via the SH Manager App.

Order summary did not print.

Confirm 'Order Summary Beep QR' is toggled on in the printer settings, and that the printer is online. Print a test page from ''Settings', then 'Printer''.

Notes are not showing on kitchen docket.

Confirm the kitchen station is mapped to the product (see here). Order-level notes always print to all kitchen dockets.


FAQs

1. Can I add items to a Pay Now QR order?

No. Pay Now orders are locked once paid. Only Pay Later orders accept added items.

2. Can I cancel only one item from a QR order?

No. Partial cancellations are not supported. You either cancel the full order or contact StoreHub Support via live chat for a partial refund.

3. How long does the customer wait for a refund?

Cash refunds are immediate (in person). Card and online banking refunds take 2 to 7 working days. GrabPay and Touch 'n Go take about 2 working days.

4. Can the customer add a note from the Beep app?

Yes. Customers add item-level notes in the Beep app via "Add Special Instruction". The note prints on the same kitchen docket as the cashier's notes.

5. Why are my Order-Level Notes not editable for QR orders?

For QR orders placed by the customer, the original Order-Level Note is locked. You can add a new Order-Level Note via POS, but cannot edit the original.

6. Can I have one printer for kitchen dockets and another for order summaries?

Yes. Assign your kitchen station printer in Kitchen Stations, and a separate receipt printer for 'Order Summary Beep QR' in POS Printer Settings.
