FAQ
Questions merchants ask before switching.
Didn’t find your answer? Email us at [email protected] .
Do I need constant internet to run Alpha?
No. All data lives in local SQLite on your machine. Internet is only used for online-store sync, software updates, and digital-payment operations.
How does LAN mesh sync work?
Pick one station as primary. The rest sync to it over your shop Wi-Fi or Ethernet. No cloud server or external IP needed.
Which payment rails are supported?
ZainCash, FastPay, SuperQi, and Payoneer are ready on day one. Integration uses each provider's official API directly, no middlemen.
Will Alpha work with my current printer?
Any ESC/POS printer (80 mm or 58 mm) over USB, Bluetooth, or network. We've tested over 40 models.
How many stations does Silver support?
Up to 5 POS stations with 3 warehouses. The Gold tier removes all caps.
Can I try Alpha before paying?
Yes. The Free tier gives you 30 days of full features with no credit card.
What happens to my data if I cancel?
It stays with you locally. Export everything to Excel or SQLite. No data hostage-taking.
