Cartpo app UI preview for this guide

Cartpo will not feel like a real register until your shop profile exists. This guide walks through first-time setup in the mobile app — where full shop editing lives.

1. Create your merchant account

  1. Install Cartpo from the App Store or Google Play.
  2. On Welcome, enter your email and tap Next.
  3. Confirm the OTP (valid for about 10 minutes).
  4. Create your unlock password — not a short PIN: 8+ characters with upper case, lower case, and a digit.
  5. If the email already has an account, you will be sent to Sign In instead.

2. Complete Settings (required fields)

Open the drawer → Settings. Fill and save:

  • Shop name (3–20 characters), business type, about
  • Phone (country code + number) and address with map pin
  • Shop currency (prices and checkout use this)
  • Mode of operation: online only, physical store, or both
  • Delivery areas: none / city / country
  • Opening hours (or Always open)
  • Cover image (required); optional featured images and intro video

3. Add Payment Methods for Direct sales

Drawer → Payment Methods → Add Payment. Label the provider (for example MoMo or Bank) and account number/name you actually receive money on. Cash sales work without this; Direct sales need at least one method.

4. Catalog note (Standard plan)

You can ring quick amounts on Standard. Adding menu/catalog products requires an upgrade (Premium up to 25 items; Pro/Max unlimited — confirm in-app plan cards). Subscribe in the app or at dashboard.cartpo.com.

5. Confirm you are ready

  • Calculator tab opens without “Setup Required.”
  • A test sale appears under Transactions.
  • Profile shows Today with cash vs direct.
