Company name, logo, country, currency, language and financial defaults. See Business setup for details.

POS settings & appearance

Control how the sales screen behaves and looks:

  • Category First / Category colours layout for faster item finding
  • Order Types — show/hide dine-in, takeaway, delivery, pickup, table/room service on the New Sale bar
  • Modern Dashboard — a full-screen post-login launcher (optional)
  • Quick-sale buttons, item popup behaviour and quantity handling

Invoice & tax settings

Receipt/invoice layout (including the visual builder), numbering, tax rates, tax-inclusive pricing and tax-on-payment fees. Tax-authority integration is under Tax Integrations.

Printer & notification settings

Assign receipt and kitchen printers, configure the cash drawer, and set floor/category printer routing. Notification settings control the in-app bell and email alerts (sales, low stock, subscription and more).

User, branch, language, currency & integrations

Manage users and roles, branch-specific options, interface language and currency, and third-party integrations (online ordering, tax authorities, TaxBridge API where applicable).

Frequently asked questions

How do I hide order types I don’t use?
Open POS appearance settings and toggle the Order Types pill — hidden types disappear from the New Sale bar. The setting is saved to your account and syncs to your devices.
What is the Modern Dashboard?
An optional full-screen launcher shown after login. Enable it in Settings; owners can also design per-store-type templates.
