How to contact The Support Team

Written by Kevin Cheav

Hello, hi there!

Don't know what to do? You're in the right place!

Try these steps first

Before reaching out to our team, these steps resolve most common issues:

  1. Restart the POS app and the affected iPad or device.

  2. Check that all devices are on the same Wi-Fi network.

  3. For printer issues: open Printer Settings and confirm the printer shows a green tick and is toggled on.

  4. For sync issues: go to Settings > Connection on the slave POS and reconnect to the Master IP address.

  5. For login issues: use the Forgot Password link on the login screen, or email support@abacus.co for credential resets.

  6. For orders not appearing: confirm the Master POS is online and that sync is enabled under Settings > Connection.

If none of the above resolves your issue, use one of the support channels below.
