Getting started

Your first day checklist

Prepare business details, approved policies, inventory, staff and the till before taking a sale.

On this page

Before you begin

Open Settings and work through Business details, Tax & returns and Counter setup.

Access

All staff. Company feature access and current setup requirements apply.

Step by step

  1. 1

    Save the real business profile

    Enter the shop and legal names, location, full address and customer contact details. Check the information that will be printed on receipts.

  2. 2

    Review operating policies

    Save the tax rate and its source, return policy and time zone. Have the owner review the policy confirmation rather than using example values.

  3. 3

    Review Counter setup

    Saved business inputs and counter approval are separate. Follow the approval status for this location and register; green profile checks do not authorize transactions.

  4. 4

    Prepare stock and people

    Add exact SKUs, receive actual quantities into bins and check prices. Give each staff member their own account. Set up and verify any card reader or online connection you will use.

  5. 5

    Count the opening float

    Once the counter is approved, open Sell, enter the cash physically counted in the drawer and open it. Review your first quoted cart before payment.

Keep in mind

Do not use documentation sample prices, tax rates or customer records as your shop’s operating settings.

An internet connection is required for confirmed actions. Local drafts can preserve item lists during a disruption; they cannot take payments.

If something goes wrong

Everything is checked but Sell is blocked

Open Counter setup and read the separate counter approval panel. Check whether approval is missing, pending, revoked or needs review after a profile change.
