Published how-tos

• What is Stockdey?4 min · Stockdey is an offline-first Inventory OS: POS, stock, staff, and money for African SMEs.
• Mobile app vs web / PC5 min · Phone is the full till. Web / PC is the Pro dashboard plus an installable POS terminal.
• Create an account and first store4 min · Sign up once. That account is used on the phone and on the web dashboard.
• Add your first products5 min · A till is empty until you have products with prices and, ideally, barcodes.
• Free vs Pro4 min · Free is a mobile till with caps. Pro unlocks web / PC, more products, staff seats, and back office.
• Open the till3 min · New Sale on mobile, or POS on web. Search, tap, or scan to build a cart.
• Scan barcodes and add to cart4 min · A matched barcode adds the line immediately. An unknown code tells you — it does not silently fail.
• Checkout and payments6 min · Split payments, discounts, loyalty redeem, wallet, and on-account credit — with permission keys.
• Sell while offline5 min · After one online hydrate, sell all day with no signal. Sales queue and sync when you are back.
• Receipts, holds, and reprints4 min · Print or share from the local sale. Park a cart. Reopen a receipt without the cloud.
• Products, variants, and barcodes7 min · Build the catalogue: goods vs services, sell modes, wholesale, and barcodes the till can scan.
• Adjust and restock6 min · Restock from the Inventory hub: quantity, cost, supplier, and paid / unpaid batches — without a full stock take.

• Credit, wallet, and loyalty8 min · Open balances, credit limits, wallet spend, and points — including how the web till keeps them correct offline.
