Setting Up Account Information

For the system to accurately record and display operational data, configuring your store’s basic information is the first priority. Here’s how to do it:

From the main menu, click “Setting”
Navigate to the “General” tab

Here, you can fill out and update your essential store details, including:

- Store Name

Store Address

Timezone

Note: BettaMax defaults to UTC-8 or UTC-7. To avoid discrepancies in data processing times, it’s best to stick with the default setting unless your location demands otherwise.
