What it's for

This guide takes you from nothing to a working account with your first store. You get a 14-day free trial with every feature, and you don't need a bank card.

Before you start

You need:

  • an email address you can open now (we send a confirmation link)
  • the name of your business and of your first store

Steps

  1. Go to the home page and choose Start free trial. The home page with the Start free trial button
  2. Fill in your business name, the first store name (for example "Cairo Road"), your name, email, an optional phone number, and a password of at least 10 characters. Each field is checked as you go: a tick means it's fine, and a red message says what to fix. The bar under the password fills up as you reach 10 characters; choose the eye to see what you typed. The sign-up form
  3. Complete the quick security check above Create account if it asks you to (it often passes by itself), then choose Create account. You'll see Setting up, while we create your business's private database and storage. This usually takes less than a minute. The setting up page
  4. When it's ready, you land on your dashboard. The banner at the top shows how many trial days are left. Once your tills are selling, the Overview shows today's sales, the top products, anything low on stock, and when each till last synced. See Sales reports and predictions for more. The dashboard overview
  5. Open the email we sent you and click the link to confirm your email address. A second email, is ready on Shitisha POS, lists what was set up and the three things to do next. Keep it for the links.
