# Open a sale

> Start a sale by entering a custom amount on the Register Open Sale keypad.

Use **Open Sale** when you want to charge a custom amount without picking catalog items. The amount is added as a **Custom Item** when you continue to payment.

## How to get here

1. From Home, tap **Register**.
2. Select **Open Sale** in the bottom navigation (or use it as your [default Register view](/taliup-pos/settings/general)).

## Charge an amount

<Steps>
  <Step title="Enter the amount">
    Use the number pad to enter the sale amount. Use **CLR** to clear. You can append `.00` with the decimal shortcut when available.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Apply taxes (optional)">
    In payment mode, turn on **Apply Taxes** if the amount should include tax. When enabled, the keypad shows the amount including tax.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Pay">
    Tap **Pay**. Taliup POS adds the amount to the cart as a **Custom Item** and opens the payment screen.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Collect payment">
    Choose card, cash, or another available method. See [Take payment](/taliup-pos/register/take-payment).
  </Step>
</Steps>

## Table orders on Open Sale

If you opened Register from a table:

* Guest chips appear (for example **Whole Table** and individual guests).
* Use **Save** to keep the open order without taking payment yet.

## What Open Sale does not show

Many [Options side menu](/taliup-pos/register/options) actions are hidden while you are on the Open Sale tab (for example print entire bill, add custom item, save order, send to kitchen, open scanner). Switch to Menu/Catalog or work from a saved order when you need those tools.
