In the Cube Register flow, tap Clear Cart to reset everything in one action, use the plus and minus controls to adjust quantities, check line item badges for product discounts and fees, tap the x on a cart-level fee or discount tag to remove it, and look for the Refunded badge in the order list to find returned orders.

## Key takeaways

- Tap Clear Cart once to reset the entire cart, including items, notes and fees.
- The quantity control increments on every tap; rapid taps are queued and none are lost.
- Product-level discounts and fees appear as badges on line items in the cart view.
- Tap the x on a cart-level fee or discount tag to remove it and recalculate the total.
- The order list shows customer names and a Refunded badge, with a filter to isolate refunded orders.

## Before you start

These steps apply to the Cube Register flow on a tablet or in a browser. Make sure your Station is running the latest version of the flow; you can check or upgrade from Station Home.

## How do I clear the entire cart?

Use this when you need to start a transaction over.

1. With an active cart open, tap **Clear Cart** in the cart panel.
2. All line items, applied fees or discounts and any cart note are removed.
3. The cart returns to an empty state, ready for a new transaction.

The Clear Cart button is disabled when the cart is already empty, so you cannot trigger it by accident.

## How do I adjust item quantities?

1. Find the line item in the cart.
2. Tap **+** to increase the quantity. The quantity increments on every tap and the total updates in real time.
3. Tap **-** to decrease it. Reducing to zero removes the line item.

Rapid taps are queued, so no increments are lost.

## How do I see product discounts and fees on a line item?

If a product has a discount or fee set at the product level, it appears as a badge on that line item in the cart. You do not need to open the item detail to confirm the adjustment carried through.

## How do I apply and remove a cart-level fee or discount?

To apply one, use the fee or discount controls in the cart summary panel. To remove one:

1. In the cart summary, find the fee or discount tag.
2. Tap the **x** on the tag.
3. The adjustment is removed and the total recalculates immediately.

You can remove a cart-level adjustment at any point before completing the transaction.

## How do I add a cart note?

1. In the active cart view, tap **Add Note**.
2. Type your note and save it.
3. Back in the cart view, the saved note appears as a badge in the cart header.

Long notes wrap or truncate in the header so they do not push the cart controls off screen. The full text is preserved.

## How do I find refunded orders in the order list?

1. Open the **Order List** from the register sidebar.
2. Each row shows the attached customer's name, or **Guest** if no customer record is attached.
3. Refunded orders show a **Refunded** badge on the row.
4. Use the refund status filter at the top of the list to show refunded orders only.

Both partial and full refunds show the badge; open the order detail to see the exact amount.

## Troubleshooting

| Symptom | What to check |
| --- | --- |
| Clear Cart is greyed out | The cart is already empty. |
| Quantity is not incrementing | Upgrade the flow to the latest version from Station Home, then refresh the session. |
| Cart note is not showing | Confirm you tapped Save. The badge appears only after the note is saved. |
| Customer name shows as Guest | The order was placed without a customer attached, or the customer record was deleted. |
