2.2.3. Sign in to the Point-of-Sale App#

The point-of-sale app connects to a GNU Taler Merchant Portal account. The account and the password must already exist before the merchant can use the app. For the Merchant Portal setup, see the Merchant Portal tutorials. To obtain a hosted account on my.taler-ops.ch, see Obtain an Instance on my.taler-ops.ch. To try the app with the public demo Merchant Portal instead, see the sandbox instructions.

Open the app and enter the Merchant Portal URL and password.
