Getting started

Install PharmaPOS on your device

Get the app icon on your home screen, launch fullscreen, use it offline-ready.

PharmaPOS is a Progressive Web App (PWA) — no App Store, no Play Store, no install file. From any modern browser you can pin it to your desktop or home screen and launch it fullscreen like a native app.

On Android (Chrome, Edge)

  1. Open pharmapos.org in Chrome.
  2. Tap the browser menu (⋮) and pick Install app or Add to home screen.
  3. Confirm. The PharmaPOS icon appears on your home screen.

On iPhone / iPad (Safari)

  1. Open pharmapos.org in Safari — not Chrome, which lacks PWA install on iOS.
  2. Tap the Share icon at the bottom.
  3. Scroll and tap Add to Home Screen. Confirm.

On Windows, Mac, Linux (Chrome, Edge, Brave)

Look for the small install icon in the address bar (a computer with a down-arrow). Click it. On macOS, PharmaPOS lands in your Applications folder and dock; on Windows, in the Start menu.

What you get vs a browser tab

  • Own icon, own window — no browser chrome, no tab clutter.
  • Faster launch — the app shell is cached locally.
  • Keyboard shortcuts don't collide with Ctrl+T, Ctrl+W, etc.
  • Auto-updates in the background whenever we ship — you never install a patch by hand.
Offline billing is not enabled yet. Reads stay responsive on flaky networks but committing a sale requires connectivity — this prevents duplicate invoice numbers. See the roadmap in the FAQ.
