Understanding sessions (end of day report)

Set up sessions from the app

The screens are from the Tunder app on a phone or tablet. The setting is specific to each device.

1. Open the session settings

   

   Close

   In the app: ☰ menu, then Settings, General tab, then tap the “Sessions” row. The list of your devices appears: tap “My device” or another device of the shop.

   • Summary: each line shows the device number, its mode (Automatic or Manual) and, if it applies, “Cash float tracking”.

2. Turn on cash tracking if you want to track the cash float

   

   Close

   Under “Cash management”, turn on “Track cash” to track your cash and easily record cash in and cash out.

   • What it changes: Tunder asks for the amount you put in the cash drawer when the session opens, and the amount you count when it closes.

3. Choose “Manual” or “Automatic”

   

   Close

   Under “Sessions”, choose how sessions open and close.

   • Manual: sessions are manually opened and closed.
   • Automatic: sessions are automatically opened and closed.

4. In automatic mode, set the closing time

   

   Close

   The “Automatic closing time” field gives the time when the session closes and the next one opens.

   • In manual mode: this field stays greyed out.

5. Read the explanation in the app

   

   Close

   On the same page, the “Understand sessions” button opens a card that sums up these rules.

Open and close a session

Only in the app: the back-office cannot open or close a session. In automatic mode, Tunder opens and closes the session for you at the set time.

1. Open the session list

   

   Close

   In the app: ☰ menu, then Activity, Sessions tab. Each line is a session: its number, its total, the date and the number of sales (“In progress” for the open session).

   • Filters: you can filter the list by user.

2. Open a session

   

   Close

   Tap the round button at the bottom right. The “Session opening” window appears: tap “Open a session”.

   • With cash tracking: Tunder asks for the amount you put in the cash drawer (“Enter an amount”). Enter it, then tap “Save”.
   • One session at a time: if a session is already open, Tunder asks you to close it before opening a new one. If you cannot see it, it may have been opened by another user: change the filters.

3. Sell as usual

   All the sales, payments and cash movements made during the session are attached to it. Several users can sell within the same session.

   • X report: open the current session from the list, then “More options” to print or send it without closing the session.

4. Close the session

   

   Close

   Open the current session from the list, then tap “Close session”.

   • With cash tracking: enter the “Cash in the cash drawer”. Tunder shows the “Amount recorded:” and, if there is one, “There is a difference of”.
   • A note: you can add one before you continue.
   • Confirm: tap “Continue”, then, at “Do you confirm closing your session?”, tap “Close session”.
   • Only the device that opened the session can close it, and only users allowed to “Close session” (roles setting).

5. Print or send the Z report

   

   Close

   Once the session is closed, tap “Send” to send the Z report, or “More options” then “Print”.

   • Your accountant: the Z report sums up the session, with the totals, the payment methods, the cash and the sales by user.

Record cash in or cash out

Only in the app, with cash tracking turned on, on the device that opened the session.

1. Open the current session

   

   Close

   In the app: ☰ menu, then Activity, Sessions tab, then the “In progress” session.

2. Choose “Cash in / Cash out”

   

   Close

   Tap “More options”, then “Cash in / Cash out”.

   • If tracking is off: Tunder offers to turn it on (“Enable cash tracking”). Tap “Enable”: you can also do it in Settings, Sessions, then your device, “Track cash”.

3. Enter the movement

   

   Close

   Enter the amount, choose “Cash in” or “Cash out”, add a note if you like, then save.

   • Amount: the sum that goes into the cash drawer or comes out of it.
   • Cash movement: “Cash in” adds money (a float, change); “Cash out” takes money out (a bank deposit, an expense).
   • Note: optional, to remember why the cash moved.

4. Check the confirmation

   

   Close

   Tap OK at the top right: the message “Cash movement recorded” appears. The movement shows in the “Cash” block of the session receipt (cash in, cash out, cash at opening and at closing).

Tip. To keep a record of cash movements, export them: in the app, ☰ menu, then Activity, Export tab, “Cash” row.

Export sessions

Only in the app.

1. Open the Export tab

   

   Close

   In the app: ☰ menu, then Activity, Export tab.

2. Choose “Sessions”

   

   Close

   Choose the period, then “Sessions” to export your session data. The “Cash” row exports the history of cash movements.

   • One tap: the cash movement history exports in a single step.

Set up sessions from the back-office

The back-office is at admin.tunder.co. Sign in with your shop's account. You can set up the sessions of all your registers there, without picking up the device.

1. Open “Sessions”

   

   Close

   In the left menu, click Settings. On the General tab, click the “Sessions” row.

2. Choose a register

   

   Close

   The list shows each register with its name, number, session mode, cash float tracking and automatic closing time. Click a register's name to open its form.

   • Several registers at once: tick the registers, then click “Set sessions” in the bar that appears. This only exists in the back-office.

3. Turn on “Track cash” if needed

   

   Close

   Under “Cash management”, the “Track cash” toggle turns on cash float tracking for this register.

4. Choose the session mode

   

   Close

   Under “Sessions”, choose “Manual” or “Automatic”. In automatic mode, set the automatic closing time (hours and minutes).

   • In manual mode: the automatic closing time stays greyed out.

5. Click “Save”

   

   Close

   The setting is saved, and the register receives it at its next sync. A message confirms that the device is updated.

   • Without Premium: clicking a register shows you the Premium offer instead of opening the form.
   • Only in the app: renaming or deleting a device.
