The Take App POS mobile app lets you sell and manage your business anytime, anywhere. Turn your phone into a powerful point-of-sale (POS) system to create orders on the spot, accept payments, and manage daily operations with ease.
The app is designed for fast in-person selling, making it perfect for restaurants, pop-ups, markets, and home-based businesses.
Before you start
You'll need:
- An iPhone (iOS 13.0 or later) or an Android phone
- The Take App mobile app installed:
- A Take App account — you must sign in to use the app
Getting started
When you open the app for the first time, a short onboarding screen walks you through the key features. After completing onboarding, sign in with the email address you used to create your Take App store. You will receive a login code by email — enter it to access your store.
Sign in
Enter the email address linked to your Take App store. After entering your email, you will receive a login code. Enter the code to sign in. If you have access to multiple stores, select the store you want to manage. You can switch between stores later from within the app.
Keypad and Items tabs
When you're signed in, the New order tab has two modes at the top: Keypad and Items. Items opens by default; if your store has no product categories, Keypad does.
Keypad — Enter an amount, choose a payment method (Cash, QR, or payment link), and tap Mark as paid. Best for quick, amount-only sales.
Items — Browse your product catalog, add products to the order (with variants and options if needed), apply discounts, attach a customer, then checkout. Use this when you need a full order with line items. The product list stays open after each product you add, so you can pick several in a row and confirm them onto the order together — useful when an order has many line items.
Switch between Keypad and Items by tapping the tab labels at the top of the New order screen.
Switch store
If you have access to more than one store, open Settings and tap the store name under the Store section. Select the store you want to use. The app will reload with the selected store's products, orders, and payment methods.
Settings
In Settings you can:
- Store — Switch which store you're managing (if you have access to multiple)
- Printer — Connect a Bluetooth thermal printer to print receipts directly from your phone. Set up a new printer, choose paper width (58mm or 80mm), run a test print, or disconnect. See Bluetooth Printing from Mobile App for a full guide.
- Notifications — Turn push notifications on or off for order and payment updates
- Support — Open the Help Center, send feedback, or view Privacy Policy and Terms of Service
- Sign out — Sign out of your account
The app version and build info are shown at the bottom of Settings.
Payment methods
You can add and manage your store's payment methods from the app, including QR, link, USSD, and manual methods — see Add payment methods in POS Mobile App.
