# Set Up Zentrix Cloud POS: Counter Configuration Guide

> Download the Zentrix Cloud POS app, connect it to your account, and configure your first counter with products and payment methods.

Getting your first Zentrix Cloud POS counter running takes only a few minutes. Follow the steps below to download the app, connect it to your account, and configure your counter with products and payment methods — so you're ready to serve your first customer right away.

<Steps>
  <Step title="Download the App">
    Get the Zentrix Cloud POS app free from the **Microsoft Store** and install it on your Windows device. Alternatively, open [admin.zentrixcloud.com](https://admin.zentrixcloud.com) in a desktop browser to use the POS without installing anything.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Sign In">
    Launch the app (or open the browser version) and sign in with your Zentrix Cloud account credentials. If you don't have an account yet, register at [zentrixcloud.com](https://zentrixcloud.com) before continuing.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Create a Counter">
    In your dashboard, navigate to **Settings > POS > Counters** and click **Add Counter**. Give it a clear name that identifies the device or location — for example, *Main Counter* or *Branch 2*.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Assign Products">
    Your product catalogue syncs to the POS automatically. Verify that your products and variants appear correctly on the POS screen. If a product is missing, check that it is marked as active in **Products > Catalogue**.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Enable Payments">
    Go to **Settings > Payments** and confirm that Zenso Payments is enabled for this counter. Zentrix Cloud POS supports the following payment methods:

    * **Card** — tap, chip, or swipe via a connected card reader.
    * **QR** — customer scans a QR code to pay from their banking app.
    * **Pay-by-Bank** — direct bank transfer initiated at checkout.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Start Selling">
    Open the counter on your device. Select items, choose a payment method, and process your first transaction. Your sales data and inventory levels update in real time across your entire account.
  </Step>
</Steps>

<Tip>
  Zentrix Cloud POS works on your existing Windows hardware — no proprietary terminals or specialised equipment required.
</Tip>

<Note>
  Each counter can be assigned to a specific location so your sales reports are automatically filtered by branch, making it easy to track performance per site.
