# Car Wash Configuration

The Car Wash section is located under C-Site Management > Site Management > (Select Site) > Forecourt. Car Wash feature is used to buy a Car Wash by different methods, at the POS, at the dispenser or at the car wash controller (if the site has the option available). When a customer purchases a car wash the system that is used for the purchase is forced to print a receipt because it prints the Car Wash code on the receipt. Car Wash code is entered at the Car Wash Controller when the customer decides to redeem the code for the Car Wash.

When Car Wash is integrated with Verifone Commander™ Verifone Commander the following is some information on how this works:

* Car Wash “items” must be sold as PLUs.
* Car Wash items can be sold at POS or at dispenser where consumer is led through the required steps for purchase.
* Car Wash code (for redeeming the car wash) prints on the receipt and so ticket printing is forced.
* The PLU Promotions feature may be used to automatically discount Car Wash when the configured requirements for fuel purchased in the same transaction are met.
