Getting started

This section is for the store owner (or whoever is setting things up) the very first time Simple POS is installed on a device.

You only have to do this once per device. After that, your staff just log in each day. See Logging in.

  1. Activate Simple POS on a new device: the full first-time setup, start to finish.
  2. Main counter or extra counter? Choosing your setup type: what "Server", "Client" and "Server + Client" mean, in plain words.
  3. Pair your card machine (WorldLine or Razorpay editions): only if your Simple POS came with a card payment machine.
  4. Book a free demo: not a customer yet? Start here.

What you'll need before you begin​

  • ✅ Your Chain Owner email and password. These are the login details you received when you signed up with Invoay.
  • ✅ Access to the phone number linked to your account, in case you're asked for a one-time code.
  • ✅ An internet connection.
  • ✅ Your receipt printer, switched on and connected (if you use one).
  • ✅ Your backup file (ends in .invy), but only if you're moving from an old computer and want to bring your data across.
