Getting Started
Here we'll show you how to set up your business account on Crypto PoS, and set up your first Point-of-Sale to use with customers!
First off, make sure that you have an account set up on CryptoPoS.
TIP: If you don't have an account, simply go to the home page and click "Register", then fill out the form to make an account.
Upon logging into your account, you should be greeted with the Master Dashboard page, which has a settings menu available to you, as well as a list of available Point-of-Sale's under your account (none will be listed if you have yet to create a PoS).
Now that our account is set up, it's time to show you how to create your first Point-of-Sale endpoint to enable crypto payments!
Let's head to the master dashboard
Now, click on "Add new PoS", and you'll be taken to a new page with a form to fill out.
Fill out the name of your PoS, select the first cryptocurrency type that you would like the PoS to offer, and fill in your wallet's extended public key for the selected currency.
IMPORTANT: Make sure that you double, even triple check that the address is correct, otherwise all payments made to your PoS will be going to the wrong address and thus be lost!
TIP: It might be easier to copy/paste your wallet's address, and then check by validating the first and last 10 characters of the address!
Click "Add new PoS" after confirming all the details are correct, and you'll be taken back to the master dashboard, where your new PoS system should now be listed!
Now that your PoS is all set up and ready for transactions, go ahead and click on it's name in the list on the Master Dashboard

Now you're met with a couple links:
- Cashier Page - This is a link to the page that your cashier will use to set up each crypto payment.
- Customer Page - This is a link to the page that your customer-facing device will display, which will show the resulting QR code to the customer once the Cashier has input the payment information.
- Add new payments - This is a link to a small form which allows you to add more crypto currency types that you'd like your PoS to support.
- Edit - This is a link to a form which allows you to edit the PoS's name and other details after creation.
Now that we know the basics of the PoS page, we can walk through a transaction!
First, navigate to the Cashier Page.

Now you're given some options for cryptocurrencies based on what your PoS currently supports, as well as options as to the fiat currency your prices are based on. Pick the currencies relevant to you.

Now, simply enter the price of the good/service that the customer is paying for (you can make something up if you're just testing out the PoS of course).

Now click on "Pay".

Now depending on your setup, you might be using one cashier-facing device and one customer-facing one. After clicking "Pay", the customer-facing device should display the proper transaction QR code (if the device has already been navigated to the customer page from the PoS menu).

If you're only using one device, you can use the switch at the top of the page to toggle between viewing the customer page or the cashier one, so you can switch to the customer page and display that to the customer for them to scan the QR code.

After the customer scans the QR code and completes the transaction, you should wait for the transaction to be confirmed on their wallet, and the proper amount should show up in your wallet for whichever cryptocurrency you used in the first step.
You are now set-up to accept cryptocurrency payments, congratulations!
