Setting Up Your Branch

A branch is a physical store location. Every register (POS terminal) lives inside a branch, so you need at least one branch before you can process a sale.

What You'll Learn​

  • The difference between branches and registers
  • How to view your default branch
  • How to add a new branch with an address and a first register

Before You Begin​

  • You're logged in as the account owner
  • You have the physical address of the branch ready
For Owners

Branch management is an owner/admin task. Cashiers are assigned to branches but cannot create or edit them.

Step 1: Go to Settings > Branches and Registers​

From the sidebar, click Settings and then Branches and Registers. The URL will be /settings/branches.

The page has a two-panel layout:

  • Left panel — lists all your branches, each showing the branch name and how many registers it contains.
  • Right panel — shows the details, address, and registers for the selected branch.

Step 2: View the Default Branch​

When you registered, Point created a default branch for you. Click on it in the left panel to see its details in the right panel. You'll see three tabs: Settings, Branch Address, and Registers.

Take a moment to confirm the default branch name is what you want. You can edit it from the Settings tab.

Step 3: Click Add Branch​

To add a second location (or to replace the default branch with one that has a proper name and address), click the Add Branch button — usually found at the top of the left panel or as a button in the header.

The Add Branch form will open.

Step 4: Enter the Branch Name​

Type a clear, descriptive name for the branch — for example, "Riyadh Main Store" or "Jeddah Corniche Branch". This name appears in reports and on register sessions.

Step 5: Fill In the Branch Address​

Provide the full physical address of this branch:

  • Street Name
  • Building Number
  • Postal Code
  • Province — Select from the dropdown.
  • City
  • District

Step 6: Select the Currency​

Choose the operating currency for this branch. For Saudi branches, select SAR (Saudi Riyal). If you operate in another currency, select it here — you can manage additional currencies in Settings > Main > Currencies.

Step 7: Name the First Register​

Every branch needs at least one register. In the same form, enter a Register Name for the first POS terminal at this branch — for example, "Counter 1" or "Main Till".

Step 8: Click Add Branch​

Click the Add Branch button to save. The new branch will appear in the left panel, and its first register will already be created under the Registers tab.

Summary​

Branches are the physical locations where your business operates. Each branch holds one or more registers (POS terminals). When you add a branch, you give it a name, a complete address, a currency, and at least one register name — Point sets everything up in one go.
