Use this page as the front door to Shemify documentation. It brings together the guides owners, managers, and rollout teams usually need first: product and service setup, browser-based checkout, printed or digital receipts, barcode-ready lookup, searchable history and refunds, reporting, team access, and device planning.
Start with the essentials
step 01
Build the catalog for the way you sell
Add products or services with clear names, categories, selling prices, and barcode or SKU values where needed. Clean setup at the start makes checkout, receipts, and reports easier to trust.
step 02
Choose the counter device and receipt path
Confirm whether the team will use phone, tablet, or laptop, then test printing or digital receipts from that exact device and browser before launch.
step 03
Set roles and run live-like tests
Decide who can sell, discount, refund, edit settings, or manage time clock, then run test sales and history lookups so the daily flow feels familiar on day one.
Core setup guides
Inventory management basics
Organize categories, variants, pricing, and barcode fields so search, receipts, and restocking stay clean.
Hardware & device compatibility
Plan browser, printer, barcode, and cash-drawer setup around the exact counter device you will actually use.
Receipt printing
Set up printed or digital receipts, test reprints or re-sends, and confirm the checkout flow before opening.
Barcode scanning & lookup
Prepare barcode-ready products and speed up item search with scan-friendly catalog data.
Sales reporting
Review daily totals, best sellers, expenses, trends, and export-ready records without digging through raw data.
Staff permissions
Separate cashier, manager, owner, and custom access so shared devices stay fast, readable, and controlled.
Still deciding between overall workflows or devices? Start with POS overview, Cloud POS software, and Mobile POS for the broad setup map before drilling into the task-specific guides above.
Guides by business type
Retail POS software
For shops that need faster checkout, cleaner returns, searchable sales history, and controlled discounts.
Restaurant POS software
For food and beverage teams using tables, tickets, printed checks, public menus, and reservations.
Café POS
For coffee shops, bakeries, and quick-service counters focused on speed, tips, and repeat visits.
Boutique POS
For apparel, beauty, and specialty retail teams managing variants, promotions, and seasonal catalogs.
Barbershop POS
For appointments, walk-ins, service menus, retail add-ons, tips, and staff workflows in one workspace.
Small business POS
For growing operators who want to start simple and add users, controls, and locations later.
Before you go live
The fastest setup path usually comes from the guide that matches your real workflow: retail catalog, café counter, restaurant tables and reservations, boutique variants, or service tickets. Starting with the right model keeps the rest of setup simpler.
Because Shemify runs in the browser, go-live planning should include the exact phone, tablet, or laptop, the browser version, printed or digital receipts, barcode behavior, and any cash-drawer steps used at the counter.
Before staff use the POS, check searchable history, refund steps, report views, roles, and any manager-only actions. That makes day-one follow-up easier when a customer needs a receipt, return, or explanation.
Free keeps core checkout, catalog, receipts, and daily history moving. Premium adds up to 5 app-access users with roles, advanced reports, logs, branded receipts, loyalty, gift cards, debts, time clock, payroll, and time-off tools. Enterprise adds per-seat access and multiple locations under one workspace. See Pricing when you are mapping users or locations.
Food and beverage businesses can configure a public menu and reservations page, tables, open tickets, and an embeddable reservation form. Service businesses can combine appointments, work orders, products, and tips in the same checkout flow.
Send your business type, catalog size, counter device, printer model, and any must-have workflow. We can point you to the cleanest sequence and the most relevant docs before rollout.
Common questions
Start with inventory management basics, hardware & device compatibility, and the guide that matches your business type. Most new setups also review receipt printing and staff permissions before launch.
No local install is required. Shemify runs in the browser on phone, tablet, and laptop. The practical fit depends on the exact device, browser, printer, and barcode workflow you plan to use.
Use receipt printing for printed or digital receipt flows and barcode scanning & lookup for barcode-ready catalog setup and faster counter search.
Yes. Use Retail POS, Restaurant POS, Café POS, Boutique POS, Barbershop POS, and Small business POS to start with the workflow that matches how you actually sell.
Set roles and permissions first, then test shared-device behavior, receipt access, refund steps, time clock rules, and the reports managers need to review.
