Step 4. Setup System

In this step we make sure the configuration you set up in the manager portal in Step 1 is applied to the Sudzy POS app and that you can begin processing orders. First we will go to Sudzy POS to download your prices and employees. Second we will set security settings so you can track what your employees do. Third we will connect your devices (e.g. printer, cash drawer) and fourth we will test the devices. Fifth, we will do a test order.

1. Download your store configuration (prices and employees)

Any time you make a change to prices or employees in the portal, you have to download the changes in Sudzy POS.

  1. Go to the Dashboard page and click the hamburger icon in the top left.
  2. Click "Settings" in the expanded menu.
  3. In the Settings click "Update Store Configuration" to download your prices and employees.

2. OPTIONAL: Set Security and Preference Settings

The following step is optional. Go to Settings -> Preferences. These are optional settings you can enable or disable.

Here's a description of the less intuitive ones:

1. Show sub-ticket : If you want to track wholesale ticket numbers

2. Automatically split order by WF/WP/DC: This is NOT recommended if you do online orders. You can add all your items on the Dropoff page then it will split into multiple orders by type (WF, WP, DC).

7. Allow to select number of copies: By default it will print 1 store 1 customer copy. Turn this on if you want the option to print 0, 1, 2 or 3 tickets every order.

8. Show item category filter: On dropoff page filter by DC, WF, etc.

11. Require pre-pay on dropoff: Only turn on if customers prepay 100% of the time


Go to Settings -> Security. You have the option of requiring a pincode for any action listed here.

For example, you can see in the portal which employee opens the cash drawer at which time if you require pincode for opening cash drawer.

Enable event logging to see the activity in the owner portal.

3. Connect devices

IMPORTANT: Connect Ticket Printer

Go to Settings -> Devices and click "Default: Connect 650II Bluetooth." This will only work if you have already connected the printer to the iPad bluetooth in Step 2 Hardware.

  4. Below where it says Set Printers, click Tags. Select SP700.
  5. Under Settings -> Printers turn on "Autoprint tags". This will print tags for you anytime you save an order with drycleaning or washpress items.
