Kontrol Help Center — Product Guides for Nigerian Businesses
Step-by-step guides for invoicing, POS, inventory, payroll, tax compliance, and more.
Customers
- Add a customer — Keep customer details in one place for faster invoicing and receipts.
- Find a customer fast (search the list) — Type a name, email, or phone to jump straight to the right customer.
Expenses
- Record an expense — Log what you spend so your profit and tax figures stay accurate.
Get Paid
- Create and send an invoice — Bill a customer in minutes and send it by WhatsApp, email, or a link.
- Record a payment against an invoice — Mark invoices as paid and keep each customer's balance correct.
- Set up a recurring invoice — Bill regular customers automatically — weekly, monthly, or on your schedule.
- Process a return or refund — Take back items and give the customer a refund or store credit — the safe, auditable way.
- Send a quote (proforma invoice) — Give a customer a price estimate, then turn it into a real invoice in one tap.
- Issue a credit note — Give a customer credit for a return or overpayment, fully recorded.
HR & Payroll
- Add an employee — Set up a staff member's profile for payroll, leave, and POS access.
- Run payroll — Pay your team and keep tax and deductions worked out for you.
Inventory
- Add a product (with sizes or colours) — List a product, set its price, and add variants like size or colour.
- Adjust stock or do a stock count — Fix stock numbers after a delivery, a count, or breakages.
- Import products from a spreadsheet — Load lots of products at once from a CSV instead of typing each one.
- Act on low-stock alerts — Spot items running out and reorder before you sell out.
- Products, services and raw materials — what's the difference? — Pick the right Item Type so stock, selling and production all behave correctly.
- Add variants like size or colour — Sell one product in several versions, each with its own price and stock.
- Add SKU and barcode — Give items a code so you can scan them and avoid duplicates.
- Restock a single item — Top up the stock of one product after a delivery.
- Search and filter your inventory — Find any item fast with search, voice and the Filters panel.
Locations
- Add a business location — Run more than one shop or branch with its own stock and sales.
payment links
- Create a payment link — Get paid without an invoice — share a link and the money lands in your account.
Point of Sale
- Take a payment at the till (POS sale) — Ring up items and accept cash, card, or bank transfer in seconds.
- Open and close your till (start & end of shift) — Start your shift with a cash count and close it cleanly at the end of the day.
- Build a cart and check a customer out (sales rep) — Help a customer pick items and complete their purchase on the floor.
- Take a bank transfer at the till — Accept payment by transfer and know when the money has landed.
- Get a manager's approval (supervisor override) — Handle actions that need a manager's PIN, like discounts or refunds.
- Keep selling when the internet drops — Carry on taking sales offline — they sync once you're back online.
- Choose which shop you're selling from — Pick the right branch when you sign in so sales and stock land in the right place.
- Scan, search and build the cart — Find products fast by scanning or searching, then add them to the sale.
- Choose how the customer pays — Take cash, card, transfer, split, credit (pay later), or cheque at checkout.
- Give a discount or change a price — Drop a price for a deal, or raise it for a custom job — with a manager's nod if needed.
- Add a customer to the sale — Tie a sale to a customer so it shows on their receipts, returns, and balance.
- Park a sale and pick it up later — Save a cart to finish later, hand it to a cashier, or wait for a manager's approval.
- Reprint or share a receipt — Print a receipt again, or send it to the customer by WhatsApp or email.
- Pick up where you left off (after a refresh) — Your till remembers your shift and PIN session if the page reloads.
Team & Roles
- Invite a team member and set their permissions — Add people to your business and control exactly what they can see and do.
Vendors
- Add a vendor — Register a vendor and track their onboarding requirements.
