A store is the first thing you need to set up in the NexxPOS Portal before you can start taking payments. This article walks you through creating a store and connecting it to your Nexxtap Merchant ID.

1. Log in to the NexxPOS Portal

Go to the NexxPOS Portal and sign in with your Merchant Account Credentials. The Portal is where stores, products, users, and everything else are configured, so this is the starting point for setting anything up.

2. Add a store

1. Click Add Store. This creates a new, separate store record, useful if you're setting up more than one location.
2. Fill in the store information.

3. Connect your Nexxtap Merchant ID

Connecting a Merchant ID enables Tap to Pay for the store. 

4. Set the cash register limit (optional)

The cash register limit defines the threshold for in-register cash. When this limit is exceeded, users are prompted to perform a cash drop, so cash on hand doesn't build up past a level you're comfortable with.

5. Enter the admin user information

This creates the first user for the store, with full admin access, these credentials are used for store login in the app.

Your store is now created. A few things are worth setting up next before you start taking orders:

• Set up tax, so the correct rate is charged on products. See Creating a tax.
• Add users and roles, if more than one person will be using the store. See User management and Role management.
• Set up the app on your device. See Setting up NexxPOS.
