Box of your company in the Address field.  Then enter the remaining parts of your company’s address in the City, State, Zip, and Country fields.   There are also fields available to enter your Phone / Fax Numbers, Company Email, and Company Website.  All contact information should be company specific to best support your customer service and marketing endeavors.

Add your Company Logo into the Logo field if you would like it to appear on various reports, receipts, and screens:

Use the Import Logo button to upload your company logo image. While various image formats will work, we suggest using the .PNG or .PICT formats for best results. Setting the image at 200 dpi works best for printing. Once you upload/import the image, it will appear in the Logo field.

Tax Info

The Tax Info tab is where you will set your store’s city and state taxes.

Within this tab, you will see two lines for taxes, where you can establish up to two default tax rates. These are typically used for City and State tax rates, but can be used for any type of tax rates your location requires. Enter the Tax Title and Percentage Rate for each tax type, and then set a Title for Combined Tax (typically Total Tax or similar) and the Tax Calc (calculation) Type. The options for your calculation type are Exclusive, which means that tax is added on top of the retail price at time of the sale, or Inclusive, which means that the tax is included in the displayed retail price of the item.

Within this tab, you will also see a Define Tax Codes button on the right side of the screen. This will open the Tax Information screen, where you will have the option to set up multiple tax rates for multiple locations.
