Questions about switching
Can I keep my tablets?
Yes. A station opens in the browser of any phone, tablet or computer at its own address, and nothing is installed. Card readers pair from your own payment provider's cloud terminal, and printers and scales are added in Peripherals or from the station's bar on the device they are plugged into.
Where do sales, drawers and reports go?
Every sale is a bill in your business's one record, its stock taken off through Inventory. Drawers are opened, counted and closed in Cash, with a Z report per currency and one Day Close for the business day, and Sales holds the analytics and reports, each currency on its own.
How do I set up the first station?
Open Templates and use the starting point for your kind of business, or Describe the Job, then arrange the till's layout, publish the station at its own address and invite the people who will work it. They accept the invitation, sign in at the station and start selling.
