Getting started

The MediPOS Android app

Install the MediPOS Android app, sign in with your Cloud account, bill with the camera and a Bluetooth or Wi-Fi printer, and see what your plan allows.

The MediPOS Android app is the whole pharmacy on a phone. You can bill at the counter, enter a distributor's bill, add a medicine with its stock, count the shelf, recover udhaar and read the reports. It works with the MediPOS Cloud edition, on the same account as your counter PCs and the browser. A bill made on the phone is in the shop's stock and reports at once. This guide is for the owner and for anyone who will use MediPOS on a phone.

Before you start

  • An Android phone with Android 7.0 or newer.
  • A MediPOS Cloud account. Any Cloud plan includes the app, from Basic, and so does the free trial. The app does not work with the Offline edition, whose bills and stock are on the shop's PC.
  • Internet, by mobile data or Wi-Fi.
  • A thermal printer (optional): a Bluetooth printer paired with the phone, or a Wi-Fi (network) printer on the shop network.

Install the app

  1. On the phone, open medipos.pk/download and tap Download for Android.
  2. Open the downloaded MediPOS file. The app is not on Google Play yet, so Android asks once whether your browser may install apps. Allow it, then tap Install.
  3. Open MediPOS from the phone's apps.

Download the app only from medipos.pk. The download page shows the version and the file's SHA-256. A newer version, downloaded the same way, installs over the old one and keeps you signed in.

If you used the earlier test app, MediPOS Beta, uninstall it after installing MediPOS. The two are separate apps.

Sign in

Sign in with your MediPOS email or mobile number and password. If two-step sign-in is on, enter the code from your authenticator app. If you work in more than one branch, choose the branch; you can switch later.

A new pharmacy waits for the MediPOS team's approval before its trial starts, and the app says so until then.

A shared counter phone

A phone that stays at the counter can work like a counter PC: staff choose their name under Who is working? and enter their PIN, with no password typed. Set up the PINs as in Counter PIN and supervisor approval.

What you can do in the app

  • Bill: search by brand, generic or barcode, or tap the scan button and use the camera. Sell by the box, strip or tablet from the nearest-expiry batch, give a discount, take the payment or put it on a customer's udhaar, and print or share the receipt.
  • Sales and returns: every bill with its items and payments, and sale returns.
  • Udhaar: who owes you, largest first, each customer's khata and how late it is, a call in one tap, payments received and follow-ups noted.
  • Purchases: distributor bills with batch, expiry, bonus and T.P., purchase returns and suppliers' accounts.
  • Medicine database: find a medicine and use Add & stock to add it with its price, batch and stock in one step.
  • Stock: each medicine's batches and expiry, stock counts with the camera, adjustments and transfers between branches.
  • Money: cash shifts, expenses, accounts, the cash book and the day book.
  • Reports: today against yesterday, the reports of the web app and the drug inspector's registers.

Your plan and your role decide what you see

The app follows the same rules as MediPOS on the PC:

  • Your plan's modules. A screen that is not in your plan, for example stock transfers on a plan without them, is not shown. See Plan and billing.
  • Each person's role. A cashier sees billing; a pharmacist stock and expiry; the owner everything. Roles are set in Team and roles.
  • Several branches. With a plan that has several branches, the first figure on Home adds up all your branches, and you can open each branch's day.

When the free trial is running, a bar above the menu shows the days left. When the trial or the plan ends, the app shows your data but new bills and stock changes are paused until you choose a plan; tap Plans in that bar.

Open More → Receipt printer. Choose a Bluetooth printer that is paired with the phone, or type a Wi-Fi printer's IP address (port 9100 is used unless you add another). Print a test page to check it. See Setting up a thermal receipt printer for the printer itself.

Lock the app

Open More and turn on App lock. The app then asks for your fingerprint, face or the phone's PIN when it opens and after five minutes away. The phone needs a screen lock first (Settings → Security).

Common questions

Does the app work without internet?

No. The app works with MediPOS Cloud, so it needs mobile data or Wi-Fi. If the shop's internet is unreliable, see Offline or Cloud: choosing your edition.

Is there an iPhone app?

Not yet. On an iPhone, open medipos.pk in the browser and sign in.

What if I lose the phone?

With the app lock on, the app opens only with your fingerprint, face or PIN. Changing your MediPOS password signs the app out on every phone. An owner can also remove a staff member's access in Team.

The app says it is for MediPOS Cloud.

Your pharmacy uses the Offline edition. Its bills and stock are on the shop's PC, so the app cannot reach them. Use MediPOS on the shop's PCs, or ask us about moving to Cloud.
