Business Profile

Update your business information that appears on receipts and your profile:

Setting	What It Controls
Business Name	Name shown on receipts and your dashboard
Business Type	Retail, Wholesale, Restaurant, Services, etc.
Address	Shop address (shown on receipts)
City	Town or city (shown with the state on receipts and invoices)
State	Choose from the 36 states and Federal Capital Territory (shown on receipts and invoices)
Phone Number	Your registered phone number, shown on receipts. It cannot be changed here
Email	Contact email shown on receipts and invoices, and where subscription emails are sent. Changing it does not change the email you sign in with

Note

Tip

Set up your business profile so that your receipts look professional. Customers see your business name, address, and logo on every receipt.

Preferences

Customise how SabiBooks looks and behaves:

Setting	Options	Description
Theme	Light mode or Dark mode	Dark mode is easier on the eyes at night and saves battery on OLED screens
Currency Display	How Naira amounts are formatted	Choose between ₦5,000.00 or NGN 5,000.00
Notification Settings	What your business sends, to you and to your customers	Owner only. Low stock alerts, sale and payment alerts, customer receipts, the daily sales summary
Receipt Preferences	Customise receipt header and footer	Add a custom thank-you message, include business logo

Tip

If you work late evenings, switch to Dark Mode. It reduces eye strain and uses less battery on newer phones with OLED screens.

Low Stock Threshold

Set a default reorder level that applies to all new products. You can still override this for individual products in Products.

1. Open Settings

   Go to Settings.

2. Find Low Stock Threshold

   Find “Low Stock Threshold”.

3. Enter a number

   Enter a number (e.g., 10).

4. Save

   This will be the default reorder level for new products.

Tip

How to calculate the right threshold:

Use this simple formula:

Reorder Level = Daily Sales x Days to Restock + Safety Buffer

Example for Mama Chidi’s Peak Milk:

• She sells 5 tins per day
• Her supplier delivers in 3 days
• Safety buffer: 5 extra tins (in case of delays)
• Reorder Level: 5 x 3 + 5 = 20 tins

When stock falls below 20, SabiBooks alerts her. She then has enough stock to last until the new delivery arrives, even if the supplier is a day late.

Notification Preferences

Only the business owner can change notification settings. They decide what the business sends, to the owner and to customers, whoever records the sale. Each notification has a switch for SMS, WhatsApp and Email (Push is coming soon).

Group	Notification	Default	Description
Sales	Sale Completed	On	Tells you when a sale is recorded
Sales	Customer Receipt	On	The channel a receipt uses when it goes to a customer. Sending one automatically after each sale is not switched on yet; share the receipt from the sale screen
Sales	Customer Invoice Sent, Customer Invoice Paid	On	Sends the customer their invoice, and confirms when it is paid
Sales	Daily Sales Summary	Off	An email at 9 pm with the day’s sales, sent to the owner. Email only; switch it on to receive it
Inventory	Low Stock Alert, Out of Stock Alert	On	Warns when products fall below their reorder level or run out
Credit	Credit Payment Received, Credit Reminder Due	On	When a customer pays off credit, and when a payment reminder goes out
Billing	Subscription Confirmed, Invoice Generated, Invoice Overdue, Renewal Reminder	On	Your SabiBooks subscription and its invoices
System	Account Security	Always on	Sign-in and account changes. These cannot be switched off
System	Plan Limit Warning	On	When your business is close to a plan limit

Press Save Changes after moving a switch. Your choices apply to every sale and reminder your staff record.

Receipt Customisation

Make your receipts look professional and match your brand:

1. Open your preferences

   Go to Settings > Preferences.

2. Write your receipt footer

   Receipt Footer Text is the message at the bottom of every receipt, for example “Thank you for shopping at Mama Chidi Provisions! Come again soon.” or “No refunds on perishable goods”. You can write it on more than one line. Emoji and symbols are left out of the PDF and image copies of the receipt.

   Your business name, address, phone number and logo come from Business Profile and Branding in Settings.

Tip

Emeka says: “I added my Instagram handle to the receipt footer. Customers follow me and see when I get new stock. It is free marketing!”

POS Integration Settings

If you have a physical POS terminal, connect it to SabiBooks:

1. Open POS settings

   Go to Settings > POS Integration.

2. Select your provider

   Choose your POS provider (Moniepoint, Opay, Palmpay).

3. Enter your Terminal ID

   Enter your Terminal ID (ask your POS provider for this).

4. Follow setup instructions

   Follow the on-screen setup instructions.

5. Test with a small transaction

   Test with a small transaction to verify the connection works.

Once connected, SabiBooks can push payment amounts to your terminal automatically. See Payment Methods for how to use POS payments during sales.

Invoicing

Configure how customer invoices look and how customers pay you. Find this under Settings → Invoicing (owner only).

Field	What it does
Bank name, account number, account holder name	Shown to your customer on the public invoice page so they can pay by transfer. All three must be filled, or the bank panel is hidden entirely.
Default payment terms (days)	How many days from invoice date payment is due, by default. Each invoice can override it.
Invoice number prefix	Defaults to INV. Numbers reset every January.
Advanced settings → VAT registered + TIN + VAT registration number	Enables Tax Invoice mode. Most merchants don’t need this.

For the full feature walkthrough — creating, sharing, and getting paid for invoices — see Customer Invoices.

1. Open Settings

   Go to Settings.

2. Find the setup card

   You will see a “Complete setup” card showing your progress (e.g., “You’re 60% done”).
