# Point of sale (POS)

The Vivlab register records your in-store sales, issues receipts and prepares closings. It runs in a web browser with an internet connection, and each staff member unlocks it with their own PIN. What each person can do depends on their role: **Seller**, **Supervisor** or **Manager**.
