Hardware shop POS questions, answered
Can I sell several quantities in one line?
Yes. Set the quantity per item — sell 50 nails or 3 metres of pipe in a single line.
How do I track small items?
Each product keeps its own quantity; sales reduce it automatically and alerts warn you before it hits zero.
Can customers pay with mobile money?
Yes. Accept M-Pesa, Airtel Money, Tigo Pesa and HaloPesa alongside cash.
Do I need special hardware?
No special hardware is required — a phone, tablet or computer with a browser is enough.
