In a nutshell Step by step Create new users Next step

The first thing you need to do with your new cash register is to set up your administrator user.

In a nutshell

  • In the app, go to Settings > Users > Users
  • Select "Anna Admin 1234".
  • Change the name to your name/position
  • Enter a PIN that only you will know
  • Save your changes

Step by step

  1. Open the user management
    1. Tap "Settings" in the main menu, then on "User",

    2. and once again on "User".

  2. Now you can see our three standard users, Anna Admin, Tanya Team and Mark Manager. They all have the numbers "1234" in their names. This is the default PIN of every user.

    4. A keyboard has already appeared. Now enter your name. For security reasons, we do not recommend using the PIN as part of the name ;)

  4. Change the PIN
    To protect the cash register from unauthorized as well as unwanted changes by other users, please assign a new PIN directly under the name field. Enter the new PIN code in the field "PIN Code" and repeat it in field "PIN Code".
    Important: Please use only numbers - no letters or special characters! You will not be able to enter them later.
  5. Save your changes
    Now tap on "Save" in the upper left corner and confirm the changes again with "Save" in the next window.
