How to Set Up Your POS System for the First Time

A step-by-step guide to getting your point of sale system running. From adding products to processing your first sale, get started in minutes.

Setting up a POS system for the first time can feel overwhelming, but it doesn't have to be. With <a href="/features/offline-pos">JayaOS Offline POS</a>, you can go from zero to processing your first sale in under 15 minutes. Here is a straightforward guide to get started.

First, create your JayaOS account at jayaos.com. Registration is free and takes less than a minute. Once you are in, you will see the dashboard — your central hub for managing products, sales, and reports.

Next, add your products. Click on the Products page and enter the product name, sell price, and stock quantity. If your products have barcodes, you can scan them with your phone camera to add them even faster. You can also add the buy price to track profit automatically.

Once your products are in the system, you are ready to make a sale. Open the POS page, select the products your customer is buying, and complete the transaction. JayaOS deducts stock automatically and records the sale in your reports.

That is all you need to start. From here, you can explore additional features like supplier management, <a href="/features/barcode-scanner">barcode scanning at checkout</a>, and <a href="/features/sales-reports">sales reports</a>. Everything is designed to work intuitively, so you can focus on running your business.
