Getting Started With Timart Business App

This step-by-step guide walks you through setting up your merchant account on the Timart Business App, making sales, and verifying transfer payments to ensure your business is protected from fraud. VIDEO_LINK=https://www.youtube.com/embed/xbEYAhY_ksA ‎ How to Set Up Your Merchant Account and Make Sales via Transfer Step One: Accessing POS Settings Before you can receive payments, you need to configure your merchant account within the app. -Open the Timart Business App and tap the Menu icon (three horizontal lines) in the top-left corner. -Hover over POS Integration and select Add POS Settings from the dropdown menu. -Tap Proceed and then Continue through the introductory screens. Step Two: Generating Your Merchant Account Number You can choose to use the full Timart Smart POS device or simply generate a virtual account number for transfers. -Select Generate Account Number (if you do not yet have the physical POS device). -Verification: Enter your First Name, Last Name, BVN, NIN, and Date of Birth. -Review your information and tap Submit. -Link Your Bank: Enter the bank details where you want your confirmed payments to be settled. Select your bank, input your account number, and tap Submit. Step Three: Activating Transaction Verification To prevent fake transfers, you must ensure verification is active. -Go back to Menu > POS Integration > POS Settings. -Toggle Transaction Verification to ON. -Ensure both Transfer and Card Payment options are checked. -Tap Raven (or your designated provider) to view and copy your dedicated Merchant Account Number. Step Four: Making a Sale via Transfer When a customer is ready to buy: -Tap Sales on your dashboard and select the products for the cart. -Tap Go to Payment and choose Transfer. -Tap Pay and select Yes on the confirmation message. -Ask the customer to transfer the exact total to your Merchant Account Number. Step Five: Verifying and Attaching the Payment This is the most critical step to avoid "fake alerts" or edited screenshots. -Once the customer sends the money, wait for your standard bank credit alert. -On the Timart app, tap Refresh to load your recent bank transactions. -Find and select the transaction that matches the exact amount of the sale. -Tap Attach to Transaction. The sale is now verified and closed securely. Step Six: Printing or Exporting the Receipt After the sale is confirmed, you can provide the customer with a professional receipt. - If a printer is connected, the receipt will print automatically. - To do it manually, tap the transaction and select Get Receipt. Choose your preferred format: - Print Receipt (for physical copies). - Export as PDF. - Export as Image (ideal for sending via WhatsApp)

How to Set Up Your Merchant Account and Make Sales via Transfer

This step-by-step guide explains how to use the Timart Smart POS to verify bank transfers, manage staff safely, and complete your daily reconciliation to ensure every kobo is accounted for. VIDEO_LINK=https://www.youtube.com/embed/xbEYAhY_ksA How to Secure Your Business Using Timart Smart POS Step 1: Receiving a Transfer Payment When a customer wants to pay via bank transfer, do not rely on the screenshot they show you on their phone. Initiate the sale on your Timart Smart POS as usual. Select Transfer as the payment method. Ask the customer to make the transfer to your designated business account. Step 2: Verifying the Transaction (Anti-Fake Transfer) Before handing over the goods or boxing the item, you must confirm the money has actually arrived. On the POS screen, tap the Refresh button to pull the latest transaction data from your bank account. Look for the transaction that matches the customer's payment. Select the correct amount from the list of real-time incoming alerts shown on the device. Attach the transaction to the current sale. The system will only allow the sale to be "unlocked" and completed once a real transaction is linked to it. Step 3: Managing Staff Access You can allow your employees to handle sales while keeping your funds 100% secure. Assign Staff Roles: Your staff can use the POS to record sales and confirm incoming transfers. Restricted Withdrawals: Do not worry about staff moving money. The Timart system is hardcoded so that all withdrawals go directly to your registered bank account. Even if a staff member attempts a shortcut, they cannot "cash out" behind your back because the destination account cannot be changed by them. Step 4: End-of-Day Reconciliation Avoid the stress of manual calculations at the end of the business day by following these steps: Open the Reports section on your POS. Review the End of Day Reconciliation. The Timart POS automatically sorts your sales into categories: Cash, Card, and Transfer. Match the total products sold against the money that entered. The report will show you: Which product was sold. The staff member who handled the sale. The exact payment method used. Confirm that the totals match. Because every transfer was linked to a real bank alert in Step 2, your records will be "clear like daylight" without using a calculator. Step 5: Emergency Security (Lost or Stolen Device) If your phone or POS device is misplaced or stolen: Don't Panic: Your funds are locked to your bank account. Even with physical access to the device, a thief cannot divert your money to a different account. Log in to your Timart account from a new device to maintain control of your business data. Pro Tip: Use the "Business Shield" mode to ensure that no sale is ever closed without a verified payment. This keeps you r business "running and secure".
