Use this article to find the object you need before you configure or extend a POS. ## Outlet, register, shift Selling is anchored by three records in a chain. An [Outlet](outlet-object-reference) is a physical shop. A [Register](register-object-reference) is a till within it. A [Register Shift](register-shift-object-reference) is one trading session on that register, from open to close. Every POS sale belongs to a shift, which is what makes end-of-day reconciliation possible: [Register Shift Total](register-shift-total-object-reference) records hold the counted and expected figures for the drawer. :::note A POS sale creates the same [cart](cart-object-reference), [order](order-object-reference), and [payment](payment-object-reference) records as a web sale. There is no separate POS order object. The difference is that those records point at the register and shift that took the sale. ::: Who may operate a POS is set per outlet. [Outlet User](outlet-user-object-reference) grants a user access and holds their PIN, and [Outlet User Type](outlet-user-type-object-reference) is the role that decides what they may do. ## Screens are configuration, not code The second half of this domain is how the POS looks, and all of it is records rather than deployed code. A [POS Layout](pos-layout-object-reference) is a configured screen. Its [fields](pos-layout-field-object-reference) say what appears and how, and its [filters](pos-layout-filter-object-reference) narrow what it lists. Buttons come from a [POS Action Group](pos-action-group-object-reference) holding [action items](pos-action-item-object-reference). Anything the POS prints is a [POS Print Template](pos-print-template-object-reference). For the actions an item can invoke, see [POS actions reference](pos-actions-reference). For custom Liquid rendered inside the POS, see [POS View](pos-view-object-reference). ## Objects in this domain | Object | API name | Purpose | |--------|----------|---------| | [Outlet](outlet-object-reference) | `s_c__Outlet__c` | A physical shop. Holds its address, receipt details, and the stock it sells from | | [Outlet User](outlet-user-object-reference) | `s_c__Outlet_User__c` | Grants a user access to an outlet, with their PIN and role | | [Outlet User Type](outlet-user-type-object-reference) | `s_c__Outlet_User_Type__c` | A named role at an outlet, controlling what the user may do in the POS | | [Outlet Stock Location](outlet-stock-location-object-reference) | `s_c__Outlet_Stock_Location__c` | Sets which stock location an outlet sells and receives from | | [Register](register-object-reference) | `s_c__Register__c` | A till within an outlet. Sales, shifts, and receipts belong to one | | [Register Shift](register-shift-object-reference) | `s_c__Register_Shift__c` | One trading session on a register, from open to close | | [Register Shift Total](register-shift-total-object-reference) | `s_c__Register_Shift_Total__c` | A counted or expected total for a shift, used to reconcile the drawer | | [Register Shift User](register-shift-user-object-reference) | `s_c__Register_Shift_User__c` | Records a user working a shift | | [Register Fulfillment Category Station](register-fulfillment-category-station-object-reference) | `s_c__Register_Fulfillment_Category_Station__c` | Routes fulfillment work taken at a register to a station | | [POS Layout](pos-layout-object-reference) | `s_c__Pos_Layout__c` | A configured POS screen, controlling what appears and in what order | | [POS Layout Field](pos-layout-field-object-reference) | `s_c__Pos_Layout_Field__c` | One field shown on a POS layout, and how it behaves | | [POS Layout Filter](pos-layout-filter-object-reference) | `s_c__Pos_Layout_Filter__c` | A filter applied to what a POS layout lists | | [POS View](pos-view-object-reference) | `s_c__Pos_View__c` | A client-side Liquid view rendered inside the POS | | [POS Action Group](pos-action-group-object-reference) | `s_c__Pos_Action_Group__c` | A menu of POS actions, such as a button group on a screen | | [POS Action Item](pos-action-item-object-reference) | `s_c__Pos_Action_Item__c` | One action in a group, and what it does when tapped | | [POS Print Template](pos-print-template-object-reference) | `s_c__Pos_Print_Template__c` | Markup for something the POS prints: a receipt, a label, or a report | | [Printable Label](printable-label-object-reference) | `s_c__Printable_Label__c` | A label definition the POS can print for a product or shelf | ## Where it meets other domains - **Fulfillment and inventory.** An outlet sells from a stock location through [Outlet Stock Location](outlet-stock-location-object-reference), and work taken at a register routes to a station through [Register Fulfillment Category Station](register-fulfillment-category-station-object-reference). See [fulfillment and inventory objects](fulfillment-and-inventory-objects). - **Orders and checkout.** Carts, orders, and payments are shared with the web. See [order and checkout objects](order-and-checkout-objects). - **Catalog.** A product must have a price book entry to be sellable at POS, the same rule as the web. See [catalog objects](catalog-objects). - **Customers and accounts.** POS operators are [users](user-object-reference), and a POS sale can be attached to an [account](account-object-reference). See [customer and account objects](customer-and-account-objects). --- ## Follow StoreConnect - [Email Newsletter](https://storeconnect.com/c/lp-newsletter) - [LinkedIn Newsletter](https://www.linkedin.com/build-relation/newsletter-follow?entityUrn=7444956928444862464) - [YouTube](https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCngKdP2x8l1wcbAKW3tvU8g) - [LinkedIn](https://www.linkedin.com/company/storeconnect) - [X / Twitter](https://x.com/storeconnecthq) ## Popular Links - [Partners](https://storeconnect.com/partners) - [Become a Partner](https://storeconnect.com/become-a-partner) - [News](https://storeconnect.com/articles/news) - [Events](https://storeconnect.com/articles/events) - [Live Events](https://storeconnect.com/live-events) - [Feature Comparison](https://storeconnect.com/how-we-compare) - [Download a free trial](https://appexchange.salesforce.com/appxListingDetail?listingId=a0N3A00000FMkeKUAT) - [Book a Demo](https://storeconnect.com/contact) ## Documentation - [Help documentation](https://support.storeconnect.com/help-documentation) - [AI agents](https://support.storeconnect.com/ai) - [Videos & tutorials](https://support.storeconnect.com/videos-tutorials) - [Developer reference](https://support.storeconnect.com/developer-reference) - [Release notes](https://support.storeconnect.com/release-notes) - [Troubleshooting](https://support.storeconnect.com/troubleshooting) - [Trust Center](https://trust.getstoreconnect.com/) - [Status Page](https://status.storeconnect.com/) ## Contact - info@getstoreconnect.com - US +1 415 745 3230 - AUS +61 2 8365 2308 100 S Ashley Dr, Suite 600-2461 Tampa FL 33602-600 USA Level 22, Sydney Place 180 George Street Sydney, NSW, 2000, AUS ## Machine-readable - [Site index for agents](https://storeconnect.com/llms.txt): curated map of the StoreConnect site in llms.txt format - [Documentation index for agents](https://support.storeconnect.com/llms.txt): full technical and product documentation map Every page and article on this site has a Markdown rendering: append `.md` to its URL.
