Flowhub Cashier ID Scanning enables employees to quickly and securely scan customers' IDs, eliminating the need to manually create a customer profile. This helps your team move quickly and reduces user error

This feature is only available with the Greet+Stash subscription. If you are unable to check in a customer using the steps in this article, please contact Flowhub's Product Support team to enable this feature.


Check In a Customer via Cashier ID Scanning

  1. In Maui POS, navigate to the Cashier view.

    1. Important: Make sure the queue sidebar is open. If the queue is closed, scanning an ID will be interpreted as a product scan, not a customer lookup.

  2. With the queue open, scan the barcode on the customer’s driver’s license or state-issued ID.

  3. Flowhub will either:

    • Locate the matching customer in the queue and automatically open their cart in the Cashier window

    • If the customer is new to the store, the Edit Profile page will appear, allowing you to add the new Customer to Flowhub.

    • If the customer has been to the store previously and their ID was scanned previously / State ID info in the profile matches what’s on the ID, the customer will be checked into the store.
