# Configure custom POS buttons

Stores have the option to set up custom buttons in POS for common tasks, such as applying dollar or percent off discounts or tendering common cash denominations such as 20s, 50s, or 100s. Custom POS buttons display in the **Custom Commands** pane to the right of the POS window:

<div align="left"><img src="/files/AH5cY0ZJWWaGGIRCEMLS" alt=""></div>

{% hint style="info" %}
Custom POS buttons display in the Custom Commands pane only if there is no task pad assigned to the register. If there is a task pad assigned to the register or user, the task pad displays in the Custom Commands pane in POS instead of the custom buttons. To save space in the POS screen, click the arrow to hide the Custom Commands pane when it is not in use.
{% endhint %}

1. Identify the commands that contain the functionality you want to program into the button. Refer to the [**Commands reference guide**](/readme-1/customize-the-pos-screen/reference-commands.md) for more information.
2. In Store Manager, click **Setup**.
3. Expand **Hardware**.
4. Click **Custom POS Buttons**.
5. Click **New**.
6. For **Number**, enter a number representing the order in which the button should display in the Custom Commands pane, with 1 displaying at the top of the pane.
7. From **Style**, select **Internal Command**.
8. For **Caption**, enter the text that you would like to display on the button label, e.g., $10 Discount.
9. (Optional) Click **Load Image**, select an image to display on the button to the left of the button label, and click **Open**.
10. In the **Command** field, enter the command (or chain of commands) and any relevant command parameters.

{% hint style="info" %}
Starting with release 3.11.0 you can program Task Pads or Custom Buttons to execute a chain of commands when the button is clicked by adding a semicolon (;) between commands. For example, you might create a chain of commands to discount a transaction (command 1) and then automatically select a discount reason code (command 2). There is no limit to the number of commands in a chain. However, the commands should be chained together to follow a logical transaction process.
{% endhint %}

11. (Optional) Enter a **Description** of the command. This description does not display in POS. It is for reference only within Store Manager.
12. Click **Save And Close**.

## 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.rmhpos.com/readme-1/customize-the-pos-screen/setting-up-pos-buttons.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.
