Customize your Register app by using custom buttons to add Special Function buttons. Special Functions include options such as: order types, Club, To-Go Item, Print To-Go, Quick Payout, Price Override, Undo Admin Fee, Tax Exempt Item, and more.

  • Update: Checkout Fee is now Admin Fee. This change complies with major card brand requirements.

Special Functions are not available on your Register app by default; add them easily using custom buttons.

  2. The Custom Buttons work area displays. Tap Buttons to display and edit the Register buttons grid.
  3. Select an available button from the custom buttons grid. Available buttons have no label. If no buttons are available, a button can be made available by clearing it. To remove a function, item, service or promo from a button, see:  Custom Buttons: Remove a Function from the Register.
  4. Tap a special function listed in Function: to assign it to the button. Scroll or use Search to find a specific function.
