Setup guide
How to use cloud POS with SwipeSynq
This guide shows how to use cloud POS with SwipeSynq — from signup to first successful sale — whether you run retail, a restaurant, a bar, or a mix.
Time to first sale
Most single-location merchants can complete basic setup the same day. Hospitality venues should budget extra time for floor maps, station routing, and staff device pairing.
Create your organization
Your country choice sets the tax engine, currency defaults, phone rules, and payment rails for everything that follows.
- Register with email and password at the onboarding URL.
- Select your country profile.
- Enable industry packs: Retail, Restaurant, and/or Bar.
Add locations and devices
Locations own stock, terminals, and shifts — get them right before you import a catalog.
- Create each physical outlet.
- Assign terminals and the payment methods allowed in your country.
- Pair floor devices for Waiter or the kitchen display where needed.
- Invite managers and staff; set PINs and roles.
Build your catalog
Import from Shopify if you already have a catalog — or create everything locally.
- Retail: products, variants, barcodes, categories, and tax or HSN fields as required.
- Restaurant: menu items, modifiers, courses, and station routing.
- Bar: alcohol flags, recipes and measures, glassware, and happy hour rules.
Take orders
Four order modes, one ledger.

| Retail counter | POS register | Scan or add → discount → pay → receipt |

Collect payment
SwipeSynq only shows payment methods valid for your country profile — for example UPI and EDC terminals in India, and card and cash focused rails in the UK, GCC, and USA. Split tender, wallets, and gift cards are available where enabled.
Run the business day
The daily loop that keeps reporting trustworthy.
- Open and close shifts, and reconcile cash.
- Watch kitchen and bar tickets on the display.
- Transfer stock between locations.
- Review sales and tax reports.
- Process returns or refunds with an audit trail.
Connect channels (optional)
Channels are additive. Nothing here is required to trade.
- Connect Shopify for import or bidirectional sync.
- Enable delivery marketplace connections available in your country.
- Embed the reservation widget on your restaurant website.
- Watch the roadmap for QuickBooks, SAP, and other enterprise connectors.
QuickBooks, SAP, and other enterprise connectors are on the roadmap — they are not live integrations today.
