A note on optional features​

Simple POS is used by many kinds of businesses, from salons to shops, so some screens only appear if your store uses that feature. Whenever a page or button depends on a feature, you'll see a box like this:

🔓 Optional feature: Appointments You'll see this only if Appointments is turned on for your store. Ask your admin to turn ON IsAppointmentEnabled (under Appointment Settings) in the back office settings. If the setting is not available, please contact Invoay Support.

So if something in this guide doesn't appear on your screen, it usually means the feature is simply switched off for your store. Nothing is broken.
