Set up in-store POS

The merchant dashboard has an In-store POS area for configuring checkout and opening the till. Store setup must be complete before the POS can take payments. A POS plan may also be required.

​

Configure POS

1. In the dashboard, open In-store POS → Overview. The page is titled Point of Sale.
2. Review the settings for orders and checkout, payment methods, outstanding payments, discounts, and PIN security.
3. Select Save Changes after changing a setting.
4. Use Settings → Staff to invite cashiers and choose their POS roles. Staff with POS access set their own PIN when they first open POS.

Select Open POS to launch the till for your current store. The Devices page also provides an install guide and QR code for the store’s POS link.

​

Install POS on a device

• Phone or tablet: Open pos.payam.africa in Chrome or Safari, then use Add to Home Screen from the browser menu or Share menu.
• Desktop: Open pos.payam.africa in Chrome or Edge and use the browser’s install button.

Use the store-specific link or QR code shown on In-store POS → Devices so the correct store opens. The POS can be installed as an app, and supported offline actions sync when a connection returns.

​

If POS is unavailable

If you see POS is not ready yet, the store owner must finish the dashboard setup checklist. Once activated, select Check again in POS while online. If the dashboard asks you to view or renew POS plans, open Subscription or ask someone with billing access.
