   Settings > Payments before using the card reader.
 * "Payment amount must be a valid number and >= grand total" — the cash entered
   is less than the bill. Enter the full amount or use Split Payment.
 * The receipt didn't print — open More > Hardware to reconnect the printer,
   then Reprint receipt. See POS hardware: receipt printer, barcode scanner,
   cash drawer [https://launchmystore.help.center/article/1117].
