Setting Up Your Point of Sale

Setting Up Your Point of Sale

The OneBookPlus POS module turns any tablet, laptop, or desktop into a fully functional point of sale system for your retail business.

Enabling the POS Module

1. Go to the App Store in the sidebar
2. Find POS & Retail and click Install
3. The POS option will appear in your sidebar navigation

Adding Products

Before processing sales, add your products:

1. Go to POS → Products
2. Click Add Product
3. Fill in:

• Name — the product name as it appears on receipts
• SKU — stock keeping unit (optional)
• Barcode — EAN or UPC barcode number (optional)
• Price — selling price (GST inclusive or exclusive)
• Category — group products for easy browsing
• Track stock — toggle on to manage inventory levels

1. Click Save

Setting Up Categories

Organise products into categories for quick access during sales:

• Go to POS → Categories
• Add categories like "Drinks", "Food", "Accessories", etc.
• Products are displayed by category on the sales screen

Barcode Scanning

OneBookPlus supports two scanning methods:

• Camera scanning — use your device's built-in camera to scan barcodes
• Bluetooth scanner — connect a Bluetooth barcode scanner for faster scanning

To enable camera scanning, grant camera permissions when prompted on the POS sales screen.

Quick-Add Items

For items you sell frequently, use the quick-add grid on the sales screen. These appear as large, tappable buttons for fast checkout.

Receipt Settings

Go to POS → Settings to configure:

• Receipt header — your business name and address
• Receipt footer — return policy, thank-you message
• Receipt format — thermal printer (80mm) or standard (A4)

**Tip:** Start by adding your top 20 products and organising them into categories. You can always add more later.
