How do I start a cashier's shift on Veira?

Updated June 2026

Short answer

Have the cashier sign in under their own login on the terminal or device. From that point, every sale, void and discount they make is recorded against them and the shift, which is the basis for both performance tracking and spotting problems.

More detail

The single most useful habit is one login per person. It costs nothing and turns a shared till into an accountable one.

Once a cashier is signed in, you do not have to do anything extra: their activity is tagged automatically, so the end-of-shift picture is accurate without manual notes.

Related questions

Why use a separate login per cashier?
So every sale, void and discount ties to the right person and shift. That is what makes performance tracking and theft-spotting work.
Do I have to tag each sale manually?
No. Once a cashier signs in, their activity is tagged to them and the shift automatically.
