Step 1: Connect a Point-of-Sale System
- If you have a POS, we strongly recommend you start by connecting it first - this will save you setup time and will help to prevent duplicate data errors later on.
- When you connect a POS, we sync your company info (like your business address), your sales data, and your employees to Homebase from your POS
