Updates from inside the app

When a new version is out, the till shows a message and updates itself when you tap Download. You only need to download from this page once.

Only real updates

Before installing, the till checks that the update really came from us and was not changed on the way.

Backups every day

We run the system your tills connect to and back up your records every day, so there is nothing for you to look after.
