Install guide

Configure a Network POS Setup

The same installer/runtime is used for standalone and multi-device shops. The key difference is the database URL: every POS client points to the same central MySQL server.

Download Start trial

Choose the database machine

Use one reliable computer or server as the MySQL host. It may also run Saleculator as the main POS if the shop needs that.

Allow LAN access

Permit MySQL access from the POS devices on the local network and create a database user with the required Saleculator permissions.

Install each POS

Install Saleculator on every counter machine using the same release package.

Use one database URL

In First Run Setup or the configuration screen, set every machine's db.URL to the central MySQL host, port, and database.

Checklist

Before handing over the POS

Use static IP or reliable local DNS for the MySQL host so POS clients do not lose the database after router changes.
Test billing from each POS machine before go-live.
Back up the central database regularly because all counters depend on it.

Using an AI agent?

Copy this prompt to install Saleculator safely.

If you use an AI assistant or technician to set up Saleculator, give it this prompt so it follows the customer install flow and does not skip trial, receipt, device, and backup checks.

Guided setup support

Professional setup guidance for shops and partners.

Saleculator can be evaluated by a shop owner, installed by a reseller, or prepared by a hardware vendor. Start with the right business type, confirm the counter devices, complete the trial activation, and test one full billing flow before go-live.

For shop owners

Download the Windows installer, enter business and receipt details during setup, start the 30-day trial, then test billing, receipt printing, reports, and backup with sample products.

For resellers

Prepare the customer profile, device list, receipt format, tax settings, users, and backup plan before handover. Confirm the customer can complete daily billing without depending on the installer.

For hardware vendors

Use the vendor package for controlled rollouts on POS devices, Linux, and Raspberry Pi class hardware. Validate display, printer, scanner, cash drawer, network, reboot, and recovery behavior before delivery.

For network shops

Use a reliable central database machine and connect every counter to the same shop database so products, sales, and reports stay consistent across counters.
