Store Settings

Settings groups your store's options in tabs. This tutorial covers Business, Preferences and Printing, plus the admin notifications and the in-app tutorials.

Everyone sees Business, Preferences and Printing, but changing them needs a permission: Edit settings for Business and Configure printer for Printing (see Users and Roles). The wallet, backup, system and help tabs are only for admins.

Business​

Store Information​

Store information shows your store's Name, Tax ID, Address, Timezone, Email, Phone and Logo. Click Edit, change what you need and click Save.

The Timezone decides which day each sale, refund and shift belongs to, and so what the Reports periods include. Set it to where your store is.

The Name, Address, Phone and Email can also be printed on your tickets (see Ticket Templates).

Currency​

In Currency, Change currency sets the currency of your prices. Changing it doesn't convert the prices you already entered, so review your products after the change.

Price step sets how many cents a price goes up or down when you adjust it; see Price Step.

Tips​

  1. In Tips, turn on Enable tips.
  2. Under Suggested percentages, click the percentages you want to offer at checkout. They start at 10%, 15% and 20%.
  3. To offer another one, click Custom, enter the percentage and click Add.
  4. Click Save.

At checkout, the Tip section shows these percentages, plus No tip and Custom for any other percentage or amount.

Preferences​

These two options are saved on the device and browser you're using, not for the whole store. Set them on each device.

  • Language: choose English or Spanish.
  • Display: turn on Disable animations to make Ambrosia faster on low-resource devices.

Printing​

Ambrosia prints the customer receipt automatically after each paid sale, on a thermal receipt printer (ESC/POS). For that it needs a ticket template and a printer that uses it.

Ticket Templates​

A ticket has no content until you give it a template.

  1. In Ticket templates, click Add.

  2. Enter the Template name.

  3. Click Add element for each part of the ticket, and choose its Type:

    TypeWhat it prints
    Header, Text, FooterThe Value you enter
    Line breakAn empty line
    SeparatorThe Value repeated across the ticket, for example -
    Table headerThe Value, for example Qty Product Price
    Table rowOne line per product sold, with its quantity and price
    Total rowThe discount and tip, if any, and the total
    QR codeA QR code of the Value
  4. To print your store's data, click the braces button next to Value and choose a field in Business Info: Name, Address, Phone or Email.

  5. Adjust the Alignment, the Size and Bold of each element. Preview shows how the ticket looks.

  6. Click Create.

To change a template, choose it in Templates, edit it and click Save. With a printer set up, Print test prints the template with sample data.

Printers​

The printer list shows the printers installed on the computer that runs Ambrosia. Install your receipt printer there first.

  1. In Add printer, choose the Printer and the Template. The Type is Customer, the receipt printer.
  2. Click Add. The printer appears in Configured printers.

On each configured printer you can change its Template, turn Default printer and Enabled on or off, or click Remove. The receipt prints on the default printer, which must be enabled.

The same printer prints the Z Report when you close a shift (see Shifts).

Notifications​

Admins get notifications about wallet activity, such as payments received or sent and channels closed. They appear in Notifications in the menu.

To choose how you get them, go to Settings → System → Notifications:

  • In-app: notifications inside Ambrosia.
  • Web Push: browser notifications on this device. The browser asks for permission the first time. Click Test push to try it.

Tutorials​

Ambrosia's in-app tours, such as the one that shows how to open your Lightning channel, can be replayed. Go to Settings → Help → Tutorials and click Replay.
