Sell it — the record keeps itself.

A walkthrough of the Shop — ringing up sales on a till that knows firearms, checking certificates at the point of sale, and letting every sale file itself straight into your register.

The till

Ring up everything from one screen — a firearm, ammunition by the box, and accessories. The till knows what it's selling, so a firearm carries its record and ammo counts down your stock automatically.

Tip Ammo sells by the box; your register still counts individual rounds.

Certificate checked at the point of sale

Select the customer and RFD checks their FAC or SGC live — is it valid, does it cover this firearm, has it expired? A green tick means you're clear to sell; anything wrong is flagged before the sale can complete.

Tip The check runs automatically the moment a firearm is in the basket.

Take payment

Choose how they paid — cash, card, on account, or a split — and complete the sale. RFD records the tender and the totals, VAT included, and issues a receipt.

Tip Selling on account? It posts straight to the customer's balance.

It files itself into the register

This is the point: a firearm sold at the till disposes itself in your bound book, and the Form 11 goes to the force — automatically. The sale and the record are one action, so you never key it twice.

Tip One sale, one entry. The register and the till are the same system.

Products & inventory

Keep your accessories and consumables in order — prices, stock levels and low-stock flags — so the till always has what it needs and your shelves never run dry unnoticed.

Tip Set a reorder level and RFD flags a line before you run out.
