Settings — configure Fexl Lite
Most defaults in Fexl Lite are sensible enough that a fresh install can ring its first sale without any configuration at all. But every retailer has the handful of settings that turn a generic POS into your shop’s POS — the most-edited tabs are General, Sales, Printer, and Security, and most stores never touch the rest after the initial onboarding.
The ten tabs
Settings is one long page split into tabs across the top. Each tab is its own deep dive — what follows is a one-liner per tab so you can find the right one fast.
- General — store name, tenant ID, currency and currency formatting, business day start hour. The first stop after install.
- Sales — payment methods, partial and split payments, VAT, bonus items, delegates and commission, stamp cards, deferred revenue, return policy.
- Inventory — global low-stock threshold, cash drawer behaviour, defect inventory rules.
- Invoice Templates — the visual editor for A4 PDF invoice templates and thermal receipt layouts: logo, header, footer, columns, language.
- Printer (ESC/POS) — connect a USB or network thermal printer for receipts, configure paper width, character set, and cut behaviour. Desktop-only.
- Payment Terminal (Nebula) — pair the Nebula card terminal so card payments at the till settle directly through the integration. Desktop-only.
- Notifications (WhatsApp / Telegram) — outbound notification channels for invoice send, low-stock alerts, debt reminders.
- Security (Users / Roles / PIN) — user accounts, role-based permissions, PINs, auto-lock timeout, master-PIN reset.
- System (Backup / Sync / Updates) — license, server panel (desktop), backup and restore, cloud sync, paired devices, app updates, disconnect device.
- Accounting — chart of accounts and the retroactive migration tool that posts journal entries for any historical data created before accounting was enabled.
Permissions
If a switch or input is greyed out for the user you’re signed in as, that’s the permission system doing its job — switch to a manager-or-above account, or have the owner grant the specific permission, then come back. There is no global “edit everything” toggle by design.
