Switching to Zero POS
Switching your shop to Zero POS, step by step.
What switching POS systems takes, in the order you’d do it — from sign-up to your first sale.

The move
In order, from sign-up to your first day
Create your workspace
Sign up with your business name, your own name, your email and a password. Add your country, currency and VAT rate, and say whether your prices include VAT. Zero POS suggests a workspace code from your business name, and you’re signed straight in.

Straight after sign-up, Zero POS takes you from nothing to a working till: your business details, your first shop, how you charge VAT, how customers pay, a first product and a test sale. Any step can wait for later. After it comes an optional tour of the settings, one card at a time.
Import your product list
Fill in the template, or use your old till’s export: columns are matched by their headings, so “Sale price”, “RRP” or “PVP” all read as the price. Before anything is saved, you see row by row what the file would add, update or skip. Changed your mind? Undo the import.
Bring past sales across, if you want them
Your sales history can come in from one spreadsheet — sales, customers, products and sellers together. Choosing the file only shows you what it contains; when you import, it all goes in or none of it does, and each file can go in only once. Imported sales show in your sales reports, dashboards and customer files.
Add your team
Add each person with their role and the shops they work in. They get an email to set their own password, and after their first sign-in they can save a passkey: from then on it’s Face ID, Touch ID or their screen lock, with no password to retype.

Run both tills side by side
Keep your old till going for as long as you want while everyone gets used to Zero POS. Your card terminal stays where it is: take the payment on it as now, choose Card at the till, and the sale is recorded. At closing time, the end-of-day close shows what the terminal should have taken.
