First-time setup in BILL OS
The short setup wizard that runs the first time BILL OS opens, and the checklist that gets a shop ready to bill.
A new BILL OS has no business, no users and no demo data. The first screen is a short wizard:
- Welcome.
- Business: name and state, plus optional legal name, city, address and phone.
- GST: your GSTIN, which can be skipped if you are not registered.
- First store: name and code, which can be skipped.
- Owner login.
- An optional administrator login, not needed for a single shop.
- Finish.
The wizard runs once, on the computer BILL OS is installed on. Everything can be changed later in Settings.
Getting ready to bill
A checklist on the Overview walks through the rest: business profile, shop details, GST and bill format, logo, products, customers, staff logins, printer, payments, backups and your first bill.
Tips
- Add your best-selling products first; import the rest from Excel or CSV later.
- Create one login per person, with only the role they need.
- Set up backups before your first real bill.
