Set up your first store

A store in Swipee is one place where you trade — a shop, a stall, a kiosk, or a delivery van. Every sale, every stock count, and every till device belongs to a store.

If you trade in one place, you still want one store. If you trade in five, create five and you get five sets of numbers you can compare.

Create a store

1. 1
   In the owner dashboard, open Stores.
2. 2
   Choose Add store.
3. 3
   Give it a name your team will recognise — "Mbare Stall", not "Store 2".
4. 4
   Add the address or area so it is easy to identify later.
5. 5
   Save.

What a store controls

• Takings. Sales are reported per store, so you can see which location earns.
• Stock. Items and stock levels are tracked per store, so a shortage at one shop does not hide a surplus at another.
• Devices. Each till device is bound to one store when it signs in.

Rename or update a store

Open Stores, choose the store, edit the details, and save. Renaming a store does not affect past sales — history stays attached to the store record, not the name.

Multiple stores

There is no limit on stores. A practical way to grow:

1. 1
   Start with one store and get your item library right.
2. 2
   Add the second store when you open it, then generate a till login code for its device.
3. 3
   Use the dashboard's store filter to compare performance.
