Set up your business

In aPOS Settings → General Settings

What this is

The first pass after signup so the till can sell in Rufiyaa with the right GST.

Before you start

You need shop-owner access. Plan expiry blocks some create/edit screens.

Where to find it

Settings → General Settings, then Currencies, Tax rates, Payment Type, and Team.

Step-by-step

  1. Confirm General Settings (shop name, receipt, sale rounding).
  2. Open Currencies and keep MVR as the default unless you truly sell in another currency.
  3. Open GST → Tax rates and add 8% GST (and 0% if you sell exempt items).
  4. Open Payment Type and enable Cash, Card, BML, and Due if you use them.
  5. Open Team and invite staff with the right module visibility.

Good to know

Restaurants should also open Restaurant inventory setup before tracking recipes. Retail shops can skip that and start with products and a first sale.
