Pet store step 1: stores, modules and settings

Start with your stores, the settings pet food needs (sub-units, expiry, lots), and the Services module that runs your grooming salon.

Before you start

• You have signed up and logged in (first login tour).
• You know your tax rates for goods and for grooming services (some places don’t tax grooming).

1. Your stores

1. Settings › Business Locations: edit the first location (store and grooming salon), then Add further stores.
2. Each location keeps its own stock, register and receipts.

2. Product settings for pet food

1. Open Settings › Business Settings.
2. Product tab: tick Enable Sub Units and Enable Product Expiry; set On Product Expiry (Keep Selling or Stop Selling n days before).
3. Purchases tab: tick Enable Lot number.
4. Reward Point Settings tab: tick Enable Reward Point if you run a points program (step 5).
5. Click Update Settings.

3. Switch on the modules

4. Staff

Create a user for each groomer, bather and cashier in User Management › Users. In User Management › Roles, a typical groomer role has Services: manage own appointments (staff) plus POS selling. See Users and roles.

Create Products › Selling Price Group entries such as Rescue pricing or Trade (trainers & daycares), then enter group prices or use them with customer groups. See Price groups.

Tip

Do the catalog next (step 2): categories and brands make discounts, reports and the online store much easier later.
