When you first access Stockenzo, you need to register your business. This sets up your company profile which appears on all invoices, receipts, and reports.
Step 1 — Business Details
- Click "Register Business" on the welcome screen
This is the first screen you see after logging in for the first time. - Enter your Business Name
This appears on all invoices, receipts, and the top of every page. Use your official trading name. - Select your Business Type
Choose the category that best matches your business: Retail, Restaurant, Salon, General, etc. This may affect certain default settings. - Enter your country and timezone
The timezone is critical — it determines how dates and times appear on invoices and reports. Choose carefully as this affects all historical data. - Set your Currency
Select your default currency (e.g. LKR, USD, INR, GBP). If your currency isn't listed, you can add it later under Settings → Currencies. - Set your Financial Year Start
Usually January 1st, or the start of your fiscal year. This affects your annual profit & loss reports.
Step 2 — Business Settings
On the next screen, configure operational defaults:
| Setting | Description | Recommended |
|---|---|---|
| Default Tax | Tax applied automatically to all products unless overridden | Set to your standard VAT/GST rate |
| Stock Accounting Method | FIFO (First In First Out) or LIFO — affects how cost of goods is calculated | FIFO for most businesses |
| Sell Without Stock | Allow sales even when stock quantity is zero | Off for product businesses; On for services |
| Enable/Disable modules | Toggle which features are visible (Purchases, Expenses, etc.) | Enable what you use |
Step 3 — Owner / Admin Account
Set up the main administrator account:
- !First name and last name
- !Email address (used for login and notifications)
- !Username (used to log in)
- !Password (minimum 6 characters)
Keep your admin credentials safe. The admin account has full access to all data, settings, and user management. Do not share it with regular staff — create separate user accounts for them instead.
After Registration
After completing registration, you'll be redirected to the login page. Log in with the credentials you just created. You'll land on the Dashboard, and from there you can start adding products, users, and making sales.
Next steps after registration: Add your business logo (Settings → Business Settings → Logo), set up your locations, add products, and create user accounts for your staff.
