How do I set up my store in DingPOS?

The first time you open DingPOS, a setup wizard opens your store in two steps and a few minutes:

  1. Pick your country or region. The top of the list shows this iPad's region and the most common markets; below it are all 175 countries and regions where DingPOS is on the App Store, searchable by name in the app's language or in English. Your pick fills in the currency, tax rate, and tax mode.
  2. On Your store, enter the store name, optionally add a logo, and check the currency, tax rate, and tax mode (inclusive / exclusive). The currency defaults to your country's; tap it to choose from 130 currencies.

Tap Continue and you'll see “Ding! Your store is ready.” DingPOS also sets up two payment methods, Cash and Credit Card. Then add your products under Products and start ringing up sales.

Currency and tax mode can't be changed after setup; the tax rate can still be changed later in Settings. In the United States, Canada, Brazil, and Micronesia the rate depends on the state, province, or city, so the tax rate field starts empty and you enter the rate you charge (0 is allowed) to continue. The 175-country list and the currency choice arrived in v3.2; earlier versions offered 15 countries.
