Getting started

This page takes you from a new account to your first sale. It takes about ten minutes.

#Sign in

LiteShop has no separate password. You sign in with your Google or Facebook account.

When to use: the first time you open LiteShop, and on every new phone or computer.

1. Open https://pos.liteshop.app, or open the LiteShop app.
2. Tap Continue with Google (or Continue with Facebook, where it is shown).
3. Choose your account and allow the sign-in.
4. In the Windows app, your web browser opens. Sign in there, then come back to LiteShop.

#Create your business

Your business (company) holds all your shops, items, customers and sales. You create it once.

When to use: right after your first sign-in, if nobody has invited you.

1. On Create your LiteShop space, type your Company name. Customers see it on receipts.
2. Check the Currency, for example MMK.
3. Check the Timezone (IANA). It is filled in for you. In Myanmar choose Asia/Yangon.
4. Tap Launch LiteShop.

#Setup questions

Right after you create your business, LiteShop asks a few questions so it only shows the tools your shop needs.

When to use: once, after Launch LiteShop. You can answer again any time in Settings → Features.

1. What do you sell? Pick the closest: General retail, Grocery, Clothing, Phones & electronics, Pharmacy, Digital codes & top-ups or Other.
2. Answer Yes or No: Do you deliver?, Do you sell online?, Do you sell on credit?, Do you sell by weight?, Do you repair or service customers’ things?, More than one shop?
3. Pick How many staff?: Just me, 2–5 people or 6 or more.
4. Tap Continue. LiteShop shows We turned on: with the tools it turned on.
5. Tap Start selling.

For example, a grocery that sells on credit and by weight gets the Credit book, the Weighing scale, Batches & expiry and Barcode labels. A shop that delivers and sells online also gets Delivery, the Online store, Payment links and Courier COD. A shop that answers Yes to repairs gets Repairs & service.

#Add a shop

A shop is one place where you sell. You need at least one shop before you can sell.

When to use: after you create your business, and when you open another branch.

1. Open Settings. On a phone, tap More first.
2. Tap Business.
3. Under Shops, tap Add shop.
4. Type the shop Name.
5. Type the Default tax rate (%). Type 0 if you don't charge tax.
6. Tap Save.

See Shops for more shop settings.

#Invite your staff

Staff who use their own phone or computer get an invitation by email address. Staff who share your register can use a passcode instead (see PINs).

When to use: when a manager or cashier needs their own sign-in.

1. Open Settings, then tap Team.
2. Tap Invite by email.
3. Type the staff member's Email. It must be the email of their Google account.
4. Choose a Role.
5. Tap Send invitation.
6. Tell the staff member to sign in to LiteShop with that account. They tap Accept.

#Roles

Each person has one role. The role decides which pages they can open.

When to use: when you invite someone or add a team member.

#PINs

A PIN (passcode) lets several staff share one register. Each person taps their name and types a 4–6 digit passcode, so every sale shows who made it.

When to use: when cashiers share a phone, tablet or PC that is signed in with the owner's or a manager's account.

1. Open Team.
2. Tap Add member.
3. Type the Name and choose the Role.
4. Type a Passcode (4–6 digits).
5. Tap Save.

More details: PINs and passcodes and Register lock.
