Sell a ticket at the counter

The 5-step sales flow, thermal ticket printing, finding a booking, cancellations and changes.

2 min readUpdated on 9 Nov 2026

The Counter screen is built for speed: big buttons, little typing, and the same live seat map as online sales. A seat you pick is held for you during the sale: it cannot be sold twice.

Important — Open your cash desk before the first cash sale (see Cash desk and offline mode).

Sell in 5 steps

Open Counter.

  1. Departure: tap one of today's departures (time, route, seats left). If the traveller only rides part of the route, choose their boarding and alighting stops.
  2. Seats: tap the seats on the map. They turn amber and are held. Hatched seats are counter-only: you can sell them.
  3. Passengers: each passenger's name and phone, category (adult, child…). The first number is the contact.
  4. Payment: Cash, Mobile money (the traveller confirms on their phone), Card terminal or Credit (enter the code). The total is shown large; for cash, enter the amount received and the screen calculates the change.
  5. Ticket: the thermal ticket opens in a new tab, ready to print. Tap New sale to continue.
