Trying SellyPOS with a few products
FreeWhat SellyPOS does
Know where every sale stands when the power or internet fails
SellyPOS lets you finish a sale when the internet drops, and when the power goes it checks the last sale as soon as it starts again. Backups, restores and the keyboard are on this page too.
Every shop has a bad moment: the lights go out mid-sale, the internet drops at the busiest hour, or the computer is switched off by mistake. This page sets out what SellyPOS does at each of those moments, and what you see on the screen when you come back to it.
The sections run in the order a shop meets them: the counter first, then power cuts, backups, restores, the screen, the keyboard and the small things. Only a person with permission can start a restore.

Highlights
- Back up your shop data and check every copy A Windows reinstall cannot take your backups with it The Setup checklist has a row for this. It shows as done once the backup folder is on a different drive from Windows.
- Restore a backup and see what it will change first See what a restore will lose before anything changes A preview shows the counts and the dates of what would be lost. Only a person with permission can start a restore, and you type a word to confirm it.
- Sell and find your way around without the mouse Press F1 on any screen and find the shortcut you need Press F1 and a guide opens over the screen you are on. Type a word for what you want to do, and the matching shortcuts appear.
- Keep the counter open when something goes wrong Your counter keeps selling when the internet goes down You finish the sale as usual. A dead connection does not stop the counter.
- Know where the last sale stands after a power cut After a sudden shutdown, you see plainly whether the last sale went through When SellyPOS starts again, it checks the last sale and shows the answer plainly. A sale that went through is not entered a second time.
- Check what the screen and the records are telling you A finished sale stays as it was recorded A finished sale is locked. If someone tries to change it, SellyPOS refuses and says which rule stops the change.

Keep the counter open when something goes wrong
A dead connection does not stop the queue, and a wrong clock does not either. When the disk is full, the sale does not go through, and SellyPOS tells you why.
- Your counter keeps selling when the internet goes down
- A wrong computer clock does not stop you selling
- A full disk stops the sale with a clear message, not a damaged file
-
Know where the last sale stands after a power cut
When the power goes off in the middle of a sale, you need to know whether that sale went through. SellyPOS checks the last sale when it starts again, and shows you the answer before you ring up anything new.
- After a sudden shutdown, you see plainly whether the last sale went through
- After a power cut, you see which sale was left uncertain
-
Back up your shop data and check every copy
Set these up in this order the first time: choose a folder on a different drive, then back up and let SellyPOS check the copy. The history then keeps a record of each backup, so you can see what was made and when.
- A Windows reinstall cannot take your backups with it
- Back up the shop now, or once a day to a folder you choose
- Each backup is checked straight after it is made
-
Restore a backup and see what it will change first
A restore replaces the shop's data, so SellyPOS asks more of you before it starts. You see what would be lost first, and your current data is backed up before anything is replaced.
- See what a restore will lose before anything changes
- Your current data is backed up before any restore begins
-
Check what the screen and the records are telling you
These are the signs you will see while you work. Each one says what it shows, so you know when to act.
- A status strip shows your shop, till and connection at a glance
- A finished sale stays as it was recorded
- Get a warning while there is still room on the disk
-
Sell and find your way around without the mouse
The keyboard can take a sale from the first item to the last, and F1 opens a guide on every screen. An administrator can change or switch off the shortcuts for the whole shop.
- Finish a whole sale from the keyboard, without the mouse
- Press F1 on any screen and find the shortcut you need
- Change or switch off the shop's shortcuts from one tab
-
Small things that save time and keep screens easy to read
These work in the background. You notice them when you come back to a page, open a calendar, scroll a long list, or turn on high contrast in your computer's settings.
- Setup picks up where you left off after a power cut
- Screens that are easy to read, and that follow your computer's high contrast
- Going back to a page you opened does not make you wait again
Set the backup folder on another drive first, then check the row on the Setup checklist. Once the backup history has its first entries, look at one, so you know what a record looks like before you need it.
