{% hint style="info" %}
**Attention!** `Payment solution - Yes` option must always be set, even if no payment device is connected. Otherwise, sales will not appear in your SmVend personal account.

If no payment solution is connected, you need to set the price for the goods to 0 in your SmVend personal account to enable free preparation.
{% endhint %}

6\. Tap the back arrow button and restart the display to apply changes.

### Is it necessary to set the prices of goods on the machine?

No, as soon as you set the prices on the controller, they will immediately appear on the screen of the coffee machine.
