The process of most sales will follow three simple steps;

Select items

At this step you decide and input what your member wishes to purchase. It can be any number of products, or something more advanced like an account deposit, outstanding charges, or a general sale.

Make a payment

If the payment can be processed in GymMaster then use the [Charge Member] or [Bill Member] button. This is the same button, but will have different functions depending on whether the member has billing details registered.

If not, then record how the payment was taken via the [Make Payment] button. This marks the charges as paid and keeps a history of how the payment was taken, used in your financial reports.

Finalise the sale

If you're happy with the items in the sale, and have made payments equal to the due amount, click [Complete Sale] to finish the transaction. If not, you can cancel the transaction at any time using the [Cancel] button.
