Good defaults for hardware stores
- Currency symbol placement: before the number for USD; AED and PKR stores often prefer the code before the number.
- Decimal places: 2 for prices. Quantities can allow decimals for units like metres or kilograms.
- Date format: MM/DD/YYYY in the USA; DD/MM/YYYY in the UAE and Pakistan.
Common questions
- Can I change the currency later?
- Change it before you record sales. After that, start a new business for a different currency so reports stay consistent.
- Do I need a card to sign up?
- No, the free trial starts without a card.
