Getting Started
Getting Started
Spectre POS is the point-of-sale app your pro shop uses to ring up sales. It runs in any modern browser and also installs as an app on your iPad, phone, or desktop. This page walks you through your first sign-in and a quick tour of the screen.
Sign in
- Open your store's POS URL (your administrator gave you this — it looks like
market.spectrebowling.com/your-shop/pos/). - Confirm or enter the store URL when prompted.
- Pick your store from the list (if you have access to more than one).
- Enter your username and password.
If you don't have a sign-in, ask your store administrator to create one for you under WordPress users.
Install as an app
Installing Spectre POS lets it open full-screen, work offline, and feel like a native app on iPad and phone.
- iPad / iPhone (Safari): Share button → Add to Home Screen.
- Android (Chrome): menu (⋮) → Install app or Add to Home Screen.
- Desktop (Chrome / Edge): the install icon in the address bar, or the menu → Install Spectre POS.
The installed app uses the SpectrePOS icon and runs in its own window.
The screen
After signing in you land on the POS screen. The drawer (menu) on the side gives you the main areas:
- POS — ring up a sale
- Orders — past sales
- Customers — customer database
- Reports — sales totals and charts
The header shows the current store name. Your user avatar (top right) opens a menu where you can:
- Switch Store — if you work in more than one store
- Settings — printer, scanner, theme, shortcuts
- Logout
Next steps
- Build your first cart: see the Making a Sale chapter.
- Pair a receipt printer or barcode scanner: Settings → Hardware (see the Troubleshooting page for setup).
