I’m starting a new business and I already have an iPad. What else do I need?

Well you’re off to a great start, but in addition to your iPad you will most likely still need the following items:

Thermal Receipt Printer: To print customers’ receipts.
Barcode Scanners – For easy checkout and inventory counting.
Credit Card Readers – Payment processors for tap & go transactions.
Cash Drawer – A secure storage system to store your cash takings.

These items are of course dependent on the type of store you run, but what’s neat about Hike is that many hardware add-ons are plug-n-play, meaning that they work out of the box and fully compatible with Hike.

How time-consuming will setting up Hike on my iPad be?

Setting up your iPad with Hike is not a difficult process, but for someone new into retail and POS systems, it will take some time to ensure everything is running smoothly on your first day.

I have thousands of items in my product inventory, how hard will it be syncing them to Hike?

To import your product list (and customers and suppliers), you will need to do so from a CSV file, which is a spreadsheet or database, most commonly used with Microsoft Excel. So, your ability in successfully syncing products is somewhat reliant on how familiar you are with CSV files.

Yet to make things easy, we’ve created support guides on how exactly to import your products into Hike and even how to edit products in bulk, and you can always contact our live chat support team 24/7. Check out the following step-by-step guides:
