# Set up your store on Fold POS

> Canonical page: https://foldpos.com/setup · Markdown mirror. Seven short steps to open your laundromat, dry cleaner or tailor shop on Fold POS.

Stuck at any step? Email contact@foldpos.com and we'll do it with you.

## Step 1 of 7 — Create your store account (2 min)

Pick your shop type, add your address, and you are in. No card needed — the first 14 days are free.

Use the email you check every day. Sign in from any computer at **pos.foldpos.com**.

Open sign up: https://pos.foldpos.com/signup

## Step 2 of 7 — Open Fold POS on the counter computer (1 min)

Fold POS runs in the browser — nothing to install. Chrome, Edge, Firefox and Safari all work. Bookmark it.

Chrome can print straight to the receipt printer. Edge, Firefox and Safari use the small **Fold print helper** instead — step 4 sets that up in two minutes.

Open: https://pos.foldpos.com/login

## Step 3 of 7 — Bring in your price list (5–15 min)

Import it from Cents, CleanCloud or a spreadsheet, or start from our ready-made list and change prices as you go.

Coming from another system? Export customers and prices there first, then **Settings › Import data**. You can undo an import.

## Step 4 of 7 — Connect your receipt printer (2 min)

Plug the printer into the computer by USB. Then pick the browser you use:

- **I use Chrome** — Settings › Receipts › Connect printer, pick it from the list, print a test page. On Windows, if the list is empty, install the print helper instead.
- **I use Edge, Firefox or Safari** — install the Fold print helper: a small program that starts with the computer and prints whatever Fold POS sends. Run it, then type the pairing code from Settings › Receipts.

Works with Epson, Star and Bixolon receipt printers. Plug it in by USB and leave it at that — no need to add it in Windows or macOS settings.

## Step 5 of 7 — Add your staff (3 min)

Give each person their own login so tickets show who rang them up. Staff can check in and check out; only you change prices and settings.

Employees is in the left menu. Keep the **Admin / Staff** toggle in mind on the login screen.

## Step 6 of 7 — Customer texts (1 min)

Fold can text customers when an order is ready. It is on for you already — have a look at the wording and turn off anything you don't want.

Texts go out from Fold's number during the pilot. Your own store number comes later.

## Step 7 of 7 — Ring up a real order (2 min)

Check in, type a customer, tap the garments, then Continue to checkout. The ticket prints. Then Check out to take payment when they collect.

Try the mic: press it and say **"two shirts and a suit for Maria, ready Thursday"**. That is Hey Fold.
