Ready to get started with Retail POS? This setup checklist will help you configure Retail POS for your store, so can start selling in no time. Run through the steps below to get started!



Settings-header.png

Set your general account settings

Setup-Article-Checkbox.png Set up outlets (stores and locations) and registers (tills).

Setup-Article-Checkbox.png Add in users (staff) — set level of access for different staff members.

Setup-Article-Checkbox.png Set up payments (e.g. cash, credit card, etc.). There are two ways to set up payments:

  • Integrated payments save time by linking Retail POS to your payment terminal and third-party payment services. Contact us here to discuss the best integrated payment option for you.
  • Non-integrated payments are more time-consuming and manually processed. These require you to type the payment amount into the payment terminal, then enter the payment in Retail POS to confirm the payment is accepted. We strongly recommend using integrated payments where possible.
