Set up POS
Overview
The POS (Point of Sale) works in the browser both online and offline. A few steps need to be followed in setting this up before you can start using it, which will enable the POS to work offline. This document will help you in setting up the POS. You will learn how to find your POS ID and Key, how to bookmark the POS, and how to log into the POS.

If you are setting up the POS for the first time, you can change the default server password to something unique.

The POS will start syncing with Cin7 Omni.
Once synced, you will be taken to the standard login screen with your username and password.

Enter the password for your account.

FAQs
Do all users of the POS have to have a user account?
Yes. Every user must have a user account (and an email address) to enter the POS.
How do I customize POS receipts?
This can be done using the Receipt Builder. See the Customizing and Updating POS Receipts article for additional information.
Can I use an iPad as a Point of Sale?
Yes, that is possible. The Point of Sale is a browser based application, which means that it can be used with an iPad through a Google Chrome browser. However, you will need compatible wireless hardware for payment and printing.
I can't login to POS?
Unfortunately, Cin7 Omni will not be able to provide you with the Login and Server Credentials for POS as this is a security breach. If you would like these details, please contact an admin user for your account or contact Cin7 Omni Support.
