How does Cash to Credit work for Leaders?

Parents can turn in the cash owed from Storefront sales or Scout sales by selecting the ‘Convert Cash to Credit’ option from the dashboard.

How To for Parents (Trail's End App)

1. Tap the green button for the cash you want to convert. Cash from individual Scout sales will all be listed together. Cash from storefront sales will be grouped by storefront.
2. You can convert up to the maximum amount of cash owed. 
   1. The amount available to convert at any given time during a storefront will be all cash sales to that point that have not already been converted. 
   2. If you would like to convert less than the maximum amount, type in the amount you want to convert. A minimum of $20 is required. 
   3. Once the correct amount is entered, tap the ‘Convert’ button.
3. Verify the cash you are taking matches the amount that is being converted. Once you have counted the cash, select the checkbox and tap the ‘Continue to Payment’ button.
4. Complete the payment with your credit card. You can use Tap to Pay, a Square reader, or through manual card entry
5. Once payment is complete, you’ll see a confirmation message. You can then take the cash that you converted.

Additional Notes

• Any cash sales prior to the Cash to Credit transaction can no longer be refunded.
• If parents do not use this option, the leader will also have the option to put remaining cash sales on their own card when closing out the storefront. Please see How do I closeout a storefront using the closeout guide?
• Leaders must closeout within 48 hours of the storefront.
• Cash to Credit points are split among the Scouts working that storefront. Please see: How do the cash to credit points work?
