Billoren Retail OS Cloud
========================


TO INSTALL

  Right-click "Install-BillorenCloud.ps1" and choose "Run with PowerShell".
  That puts Billoren Retail OS Cloud on this computer and makes a desktop
  shortcut.

  Nothing else needs installing. The program carries everything it needs, and
  it does not ask for an administrator password.

  If this computer already has Billoren (the offline counter), it is left
  exactly as it is. The two are separate programs with separate records.


TO RUN WITHOUT INSTALLING

  Double-click BillorenCloud.exe. It works exactly the same; you just have no
  shortcut afterwards.


SIGNING IN

  Use the email and password you made when you signed up on our website.

  Your plan says how many counters the shop may run. Every counter and phone
  in the shop signs in to the same books - signing in here does not sign any
  other counter or phone out.


THE INTERNET

  Keep this computer on the internet. Every bill, item and customer is saved on
  our server the moment it is made, and the bill number comes from the server,
  so every counter and phone in the shop sees the same books and no two bills
  can ever share a number.

  If the line drops while the counter is open, it goes on showing the shop as it
  was - bills, stock, customers, reports - but it cannot save anything, and a
  red line across the top says so. The bill you were typing stays on the
  screen; save it again when the line is back. Opened with no internet at all,
  it has nothing to show, because nothing of the shop is kept on this computer.

  If the internet at the shop is often down, the offline Billoren is the better
  choice. Ask us.


A BARCODE SCANNER

  Any USB scanner works. They behave as keyboards: plug it in, and scanning a
  packet on the billing screen puts that item on the bill. Give an item its
  barcode under Products & stock first - click the barcode box and scan.


YOUR RECORDS

  They are kept on our server, and nothing of the shop is kept on this
  computer. The counter reads the shop from the server each time it opens and
  holds it only while it is open. There is nothing here to back up, and nothing
  lost if this computer is.

  The only file it keeps is this computer's own sign-in and printer, so it does
  not ask for the password or the printer every morning.


TO REMOVE

  powershell -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -File Install-BillorenCloud.ps1 -Uninstall

  That removes the program. Your records are on our server and are untouched.
