Getting Started Shouldn't Be Hard

One of the biggest fears business owners have about new POS systems is the setup process. Will it take days? Will I need an IT specialist? The answer should be no.

Pre-Setup Checklist

  • A Windows computer (desktop or laptop)
  • A receipt printer (USB or network)
  • A barcode scanner (for retail)
  • A cash drawer
  • Your product list with prices

Step-by-Step Setup

Step 1: Install the Software (5 minutes)

Download and run the installer. Follow the on-screen instructions. No technical knowledge required.

Step 2: Configure Your Business (10 minutes)

Enter your business name, address, VAT number, and logo. Set your currency and language preferences.

Step 3: Add Products (15-30 minutes)

Add your products one by one, or import from an Excel spreadsheet for faster setup. Set prices, categories, and barcodes.

Step 4: Connect Hardware (5 minutes)

Plug in your receipt printer, barcode scanner, and cash drawer. The system auto-detects most devices.

Step 5: Make Your First Sale

You're ready! Ring up a test transaction to make sure everything works.
