Quick Setup

This guide takes you from a blank account to a completed test sale in under five minutes. No prior configuration needed.

Step 1 — Create your account

Go to pos.flexotium.com and click Get Started Free. Enter your business name, email, and a password. Your workspace is created instantly — no credit card required for the trial.

Step 2 — Add your first product

Once logged in, navigate to Inventory → Products and click Add Product.

Fill in the minimum required fields:

  • Name — e.g. House Blend Coffee
  • SKU — e.g. COFFEE-HB-001 (or let the system generate one)
  • Unit Price — e.g. 3.50
  • Category — e.g. Beverages

Click Save. Your product is now available at the register.

Step 3 — Open a register

Navigate to POS → Open Terminal. You'll be prompted to enter an opening float (the cash in your drawer at the start of the shift). Enter any amount — £50.00 works for testing.

Click Open Shift. The checkout screen loads immediately.

Step 4 — Process a test sale

In the checkout screen:

  1. Type the product name or scan a barcode — your product appears in the basket
  2. Click the product to set the quantity if needed
  3. Press Charge (or F2 on desktop)
  4. Select Cash as the payment method
  5. Enter the tendered amount and click Confirm

The sale is recorded and a receipt is displayed. Your inventory is updated automatically.

FlexotiumPOS works fully offline. If you lose internet during a sale, the transaction is queued locally and syncs automatically when the connection returns. See Offline Mode for details.
