# Sales Transaction Passwords

### Sales Transaction Passwords

By default, less commonly used sales transactions (cash sale, force post, and swiping the payment card) require the Merchant password before they can be processed. You can choose whether or not to require the Merchant password, depending on your preference.

#### **To select password protection for certain sales transactions:**

1. From the main screen, touch the **Menu** button.
