# Setup Checklist

> Go from zero to a live POS in 30 minutes.

A complete onboarding checklist — work through these steps in order and your POS will be ready to serve customers.

## Before You Start

You must have created a DuitPOS account and signed in to your dashboard before following these steps. If you haven't created an account yet, see [Creating a DuitPOS Account](/getting-started/create-account). Once you're logged in, return here to complete your setup in the order shown below.

<Steps>
  <Step title="Log in as tenant admin">
    Go to your dashboard URL and sign in with the admin credentials provided when your account was created. [First Login →](/getting-started/first-login)
  </Step>

  <Step title="Create your first location">
    A location represents a physical branch or outlet. [Locations →](/features/locations)
  </Step>

  <Step title="Configure payment types">
    Add Cash at minimum. Add Card (EFTPOS) and any online payment methods. [Payment Types →](/features/payment-types)
  </Step>

  <Step title="Set up tax rates">
    Add your local tax (e.g. GST 6% in Malaysia). [Tax →](/features/tax)
  </Step>

  <Step title="Set order modes">
    Add Dine In, Takeaway, Delivery — whichever your business uses. [Order Modes →](/features/order-modes)
  </Step>

  <Step title="Set up transaction types">
    Transaction types define how sales, refunds, and voids are categorized. [Transaction Types →](/features/transaction-types)
  </Step>

  <Step title="Connect a printer">
    Add your receipt printer(s) so orders print automatically. [Printers →](/features/printers)
  </Step>

  <Step title="Build your menu">
    Add categories first, then products under each category. [Categories →](/features/categories) · [Products →](/features/products)
  </Step>

  <Step title="Add your staff">
    Create employee accounts with PINs for the POS login screen. [Employees →](/features/employees)
  </Step>

  <Step title="Go live">
    Open the POS app, log in with an employee PIN, and take your first order!
  </Step>
</Steps>

<Tip>
  Complete steps 1–6 before adding menu items — the POS requires at least one location, one payment type, and one order mode to process a sale.
