Cloud POS System — Installation & First-Day Setup Guide

Set up ACBIZ GLOBAL's Cloud POS for your retail or hospitality business — from product catalogue to first sale.

Accessing Your POS

The Cloud POS is browser-based — no installation needed. Access it at your dashboard URL provided in your welcome email, from any device.

First-Day Setup Steps

  1. Business Profile — Settings → Business Info: name, address, currency, and tax rates
  2. Add Product Categories — Products → Categories → Add (e.g. Electronics, Clothing, Food & Beverage)
  3. Add Products — Products → Add Product: name, price, SKU, category, and opening stock quantity
  4. Create Staff Accounts — Users → Add Staff: assign Admin, Manager, or Cashier roles
  5. Payment Methods — Settings → Payment Methods: enable Cash, Mobile Money (MTN/Airtel/M-Pesa), and Card
  6. Configure Receipt — Settings → Receipt: upload your logo, business address, and footer message
  7. Test a Sale — New Sale → add a product → select payment method → confirm. Verify the receipt prints correctly.

Setting Up Hardware

  • Receipt Printer — any ESC/POS compatible thermal printer via USB or Bluetooth
  • Barcode Scanner — USB or Bluetooth HID mode, plug and play
  • Cash Drawer — connects via RJ11 cable through your receipt printer
Tip: Use an Android tablet with a stand as your POS terminal — it works perfectly and is far more affordable than dedicated POS hardware.
