Create a new setting

For the majority of users it should never be required to add a setting but should the case arise please login to the POSable Backoffice and click the menu link API SETTINGS

Click the button Add Setting and then fill out the form and submit. The new setting will now be enabled for the POSable front of house App.

Current settings and settings you should configure.

POSable comes pre-built with settings that you will need to run the POSable front of house App.

To configure a setting click the edit button and complete the form. Leaving the name as it is and only entering text into the value field and changing the status to enabled.

We recommend that you enter values for the following settings;

business

store_address_line1
store_address_city
store_address_state
store_address_postal_code
store_address_country
store_telephone
store_email

The above settings are all business information details that will be printed onto receipts.

Scroll down towards the bottom of the settings page and set store_slug to a value that you would like printed on the receipt. For example; Have a nice day. Or Thanks for your purchase.

Next complete the following settings;

currency
timezone

These settings control what time is printed on the receipt and the currency you are taking. Use a currency symbol for the currency such as £ $ or €

For the timezone please refer to the following resource here[1]. For example, if you are in the UK enter the timezone value Europe/London

Now complete the following settings;

stock
stock_admin
stock_value
stock_overselling

These are the API settings for stock alerts and management. If you wish to receive email alerts for when a product has low stock then enter values and enable these settings.

For example;

I wish to be notified when stock is under a value of 10

I would therefore enable the setting stock and change the value disabled to enabled.
I enter my email address as the value for stock_admin and enable.
I enter the value 10 as the stock_value and enable.

This will then tell the POSable system to check the stock value number and if it reaches 10 or lower to email me so I know that the stock is running low.

stock_overselling – This setting allows for stock to still be sold should you have it but have not set the stock amount. This will continue until stock reaches zero and then go into minus figures.

stock and stock value MUST be enabled and set for stock alerts to work.

Next we have settings for TELEGRAM

This is a messaging app that you can obtain from the Google Play Store or Apple App Store.

By setting up Telegram with your own channel and telegram bot. You can also get stock alerts to your Telegram channel.

Follow the Telegram setup document here on how to set this up and then return to the API settings to enter your

telegram_bot_api
telegram_channel_id

and set telegram_notifications value to enabled and also enable it.

Also enable notifcations_enable and set to 1 with the setting enabled and set low_stock_threshold to the same value as stock_value

Telegram will now also send notifications for low stocks

Next we have the payment provider settings myPOS and Stripe
By default myPOS is enabled so if you wish to use Stripe you will need to disable myPOS and enable Stripe.

myPOS does not require any api keys whereas Stripe will require that you create a secret and private key.
Follow the instructions here to create your Stripe keys and then enter them into the stripe_sk and stripe_pk values and enable
Scroll further down the settings API page and set stripe_livemode to enabled. This is important as otherwise the Stripe system in POSable will assume you are still Stripe Development mode and will not process any card payments even though the system will go through the motions that it is taking a card payment.

The setting printer_type determines what receipt printer you intend to use with POSable.

By default it is set to USB so only change this if you wish to use a BlueTooth type printer.

For taxation set the vat and further down the option reduced_vat options to the value for your country. For example for the UK this would be 20.00 and 5.00
Enable both if you intend to charge vat on your sales.

Finally we have some administration settings

max_login_attempts is for your POSable Backoffice. This allows you to control how many failed times someone can attempt to login to the Backoffice before been told to wait.
two_factor_required. If enabled this will require all Backoffice users to use 2FA to login.
email_notifications. If using the above setting max_login_attempts we recommend that you leave this set as 1 enabled so that you receive notifications from the POSable Backoffice.

default_language – If you selected a different language other than English EN when you registered or logged in then this will automatically get updated to your chosen language.
