# Cash Payment

When cash is selected as the payment method, the **amount due is automatically entered by default**, and the **change is shown as** €**0.00**. If the customer provides a different amount, you can manually enter the **amount received**, and the POS will calculate and display the change accordingly.

The **cash drawer can be opened**, allowing you to store the cash and issue the correct change.

{% hint style="warning" %}
Only users with the permission **“User can open cash drawer on POS”** enabled will be able to open the drawer.
{% endhint %}

> It is possible to configure the POS so that the **cash drawer opens automatically** when a cash payment is made. This setup is not accessible to users and must be configured by the appropriate support team upon request.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.bossithq.com/pos/order-creation/checkout/payments/payment-types/cash-payment.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
