How to Download and Use the Take App Mobile App

The Take App POS mobile app lets you sell and manage your business anytime, anywhere. Turn your phone into a powerful point-of-sale (POS) system to create orders on the spot, accept payments, and manage daily operations with ease.

The app is designed for fast in-person selling, making it perfect for restaurants, pop-ups, markets, and home-based businesses.

Before you start

You'll need:

  • An iPhone (iOS 13.0 or later) or an Android Phone

  • App installed

    • iPhone → Download here

    • Android → Download here

Note: You can start using the keypad right away without signing in. To create and save orders, you'll need to sign in with your Take App account email.


Try the keypad without signing in (Guest Mode)

When you first open the app, you'll land directly on the keypad screen. You can enter amounts and explore the interface without creating an account.

As a guest, you can also save orders locally (they won't sync to your store until you sign in). To complete an order that is saved to your store, you'll be prompted to sign in. A login modal will appear where you can enter your email and receive a verification code.

Other tabs (Orders, Customers, Settings) will show a prompt to log in or sign up when accessed as a guest.

Sign in

To sign in, enter the email address you used to create your Take App store. If you have not created a store yet, go to https://www.take.app/ and set up your store first.

After entering your email, you will receive a login code. Enter the code to sign in. If you have access to multiple stores, you can select the store you want to manage. You can switch between stores later from within the app.

You can also sign in at any time from the login modal that appears when you try to perform actions that require an account (such as marking an order as paid). Tap "Sign up" if you don't have an account yet — this will take you to the Take App website to create your store.


Keypad and Items tabs

When you're signed in, the New order tab has two modes at the top: Keypad and Items.

Keypad — Enter an amount, choose a payment method (Cash, QR, or payment link), and tap Mark as paid. Best for quick, amount-only sales. If your store has no product categories, Keypad is the default.

Items — Browse your product catalog, add products to the order (with variants and options if needed), apply discounts, attach a customer, then checkout. Use this when you need a full order with line items.

Switch between Keypad and Items by tapping the tab labels at the top of the New order screen.


Switch store

If you have access to more than one store, open Settings and tap the store name under the Store section. Select the store you want to use. The app will reload with the selected store's products, orders, and payment methods.


Settings

In Settings you can:

  • Store — Switch which store you're managing (if you have access to multiple).

  • Printer — Connect a Bluetooth thermal printer to print receipts directly from your phone. Set up a new printer, choose paper width (58mm or 80mm), run a test print, or disconnect. See Bluetooth Printing from Mobile App for a full guide.

  • Notifications — Turn push notifications on or off for order and payment updates.

  • Support — Open the Help Center, send feedback, or view Privacy Policy and Terms of Service.

  • Sign out — Sign out of your account. You can continue using the keypad as a guest after signing out.

The app version and build info are shown at the bottom of Settings. As a guest, you can set your currency preference and log in from Settings.
