First login to Tracepos,

From the navigation menu on your left, select Settings

This will take you to the “Settings” page.

The fields in red are mandatory, while the fields in black are optional.

You, change your company name, address, phone, email, and return policy. If you want to, you can also add a logo, website URL, and fax.

Then click the Submit button at the bottom.

After that, you want to enter your tax rate(s). Since we’re in Nigeria, we only have one tax: a 7.5 percent value-added tax (VAT). So we’ll enter “VAT” and “7.5”
