Charges

Charges are an essential aspect of managing your business's pricing structure, allowing you to account for additional costs such as services, packaging, or other operational fees. LithosPOS enables you to set up various charges, such as packing charges, delivery charges, carry bag charges, and more, directly from the back office. These charges can then be easily added to bills during the checkout process in the POS.

By accurately applying charges, you can maintain transparency with your customers, ensuring they understand the cost breakdown of their purchases. This not only enhances customer trust but also helps you cover essential costs, contributing to the overall profitability of your business.
