Some Notes about the Add Store Form
The Add Store form allows you to specify base information about your store.
- Each store is linked to al least one location for storing inventory items. You can specify a location in the Location field.
If you leave the Location field empty, YumaPOS automatically creates new location and links it to the store. The location name is set to the store name. - After entering the store address, YumaPOS automatically detects the geographical location of the store, and displays it on Google Maps.
Important: when you enter the store address information, ensure that you correctly specify the store region. You can select an appropriate region from the preliminary created Region list. For more information, see the “Regions” section in Advanced Parameters of Stores. - You can add up to six high resolution photos of your store. To add a photo, click and follow the provided onscreen instructions.

Business Day Settings
To ensure that Back Office generates correct reports on key business data and marketing activities, we recommend you to observe the following rules:
- From the Time Zones list, select the correct time zone for your store. This information is important, especially if you have several stores located in different time zones.
- If your store closes before midnight (12:00 a.m.), set the Business Day Start value to 12:00 AM. This ensures that all reports will provide correct information for any specified date.
- If your store closes after midnight or works 24/7, set the Business Day Start value to the store closing hour or the shift end hour. For example, if your store closes at 02:00 AM., set the Business Day Start value to 02:00 AM. In this scenario, in YumaPOS reports, all transactions and sales performed from the midnight to 02:00 AM. will belong to a previous date. For example, the reports consider an order processed on December, 20, at 01:15 AM as if it were processed on December, 19.
Legal Entity Settings
To ensure that Back Office generates correct information on balances of all your stores and legal entities, for each store, select a legal entity from the Legal Entity list.
NOTE Some of your store information (such as address, photos, geographical location or the store opening hours) is visible for customers that use their Mobile applications or your web site. Ensure that this information is correct.
Additional Registration Information
The Add Store form allows you to configure only basic settings of your store. To manage your store with YumaPOS solution, configure the advanced settings. For more information, see Advanced Parameters of the Store.
