Start with the setup guide for your business type. Each guide takes you in order through adding your locations, using the Product Library, importing prebuilt data, adding products and making your first sale. If your trade is not listed, follow Getting started and then turn on the modules you need. ### Is there a guide for my type of business? There are step-by-step guides for restaurants and cafés, marts and grocery stores, pharmacies, tech stores (mobiles and computers), AC, fridge and appliance stores, and electronics stores. Other businesses use the Getting started section together with the module pages. ### How do I let a customer pay in parts, for example 20 percent now and the rest later? Record the sale with a partial payment and SmartPOS Hub keeps the remaining amount as due on the sale and on the customer's ledger. You add each later payment against the same sale until it is fully paid. The Credit and part payments guide shows every step with screenshots. ### How do I turn on a module such as Restaurant, Repair or Bookings? A module works when three things are true. Your plan includes it, its switch is on in Settings, and your user role has permission to use it. Every module page has a How to turn it on box that lists all three. ### Is there a mobile app for my staff? Yes. The SmartPOS Business app lets owners and staff sell, scan barcodes, take payments, manage stock and customers, chat with shoppers and keep selling offline. Install it from Google Play on an Android phone or tablet. The Business app section explains signing in and each screen. ### Where do my customers get help with the shopping app? Shoppers have their own help site for the SmartPOS Shopper app. Your customers install SmartPOS Shopper from Google Play. These docs cover the business side, such as setting up your online store, order links, Scan and Go and chat, so your customers can use them. ### Why do the screenshots show different currencies? The screenshots come from sample businesses in different countries, so you will see dollars, dirhams or rupees. Your own screens show the currency you set for your business, and every step works the same way. ### Can I give these guides to an AI assistant? Yes. Every page has a Copy page button and a View as .md link that give you the page as plain Markdown, and the site publishes llms.txt files that list and bundle all guides for AI tools. ### How do I contact support if a guide does not answer my question? Use the contact page on smartposhub.com. The support team answers within four business hours in your market and replies in English, Urdu, Arabic or Spanish.
