How to Run Your Business on Aide
Set up categories
Settings → Product Categories. Add groups like 'Drinks', 'Hair Products', or 'Accessories' so your stock stays organized.
Add your products
Inventory → Add Product. Give it a name and prices, snap a photo, pick a category — Aide generates the SKU for you.
Sell at the POS
New Sale → tap items to build the cart → choose Cash, M-Pesa, or Card → Complete Sale. Stock updates automatically.
Share the receipt
Print it, or let the customer scan the QR code to get the receipt on their phone and save it as PDF.
Watch your numbers
Dashboard shows today's revenue and profit live. Reports breaks down best sellers, payment methods, and weekly trends.

No internet? Keep selling — everything is stored on your phone and syncs safely when you reconnect. Use 'Sync now' to push immediately.
Export your records
