Sign-up has five required steps, in this order: details, plan, shop settings, waiting, and ready. Until you finish, any attempt to open the dashboard sends you back to the pending step.
1. Create your account
Go to store.yammbo.com/alta. The screen reads “Create your account” — “Your business online, wired to your till. Two minutes to start.”
Fields:
- Your full name
- What are you in the business? — Owner / Partner / Manager / Other
- Business name
- Address of the place — “Start typing and pick from the list.”
- Phone
- Email — “We send a sign-in code there. Use one you read.”
Button “Create my account”.
Store doesn't ask your business type
Unlike Yammbo POS, you’re not asked whether you’re a restaurant or a shop: your account is always set up as a shop.
Possible errors:
| Message | Cause |
|---|---|
| ”That email already has an account. Sign in with it.” | An account already exists with that email |
| ”Some details are missing.” | You left a field empty |
| ”Enter a full phone number: we need it to reach you.” | The phone number has fewer than 10 digits |
2. The code by email
You’ll get a 6-digit code at your email. Getting it right moves you to the next step. See Signing in for expiry and attempts.
3. Pick your plan
“Change it whenever you like. No per-order commission on any of them.” You’ll see plan cards and a full comparison, under “Everything each plan includes”. Button “Choose this plan”, which takes you to pay the subscription through Stripe. At the bottom: “Prices in US dollars, taxes apart. Change plan or cancel whenever you like from your panel; no lock-in.”
See the real prices in Plan, add-ons and billing.
If you come back from Stripe and the payment hasn’t fully processed yet, you’ll see a waiting screen that retries on its own.
4. Tell us about your shop
“This is what we build your shop and till from. You can change it later.” Sections:
- The basics — name, “One line about your shop”, address, phone, time zone.
- Opening hours — with “Copy Monday to the rest” so you don’t repeat the same hours seven times.
- Delivery and pickup — “People can collect at the shop”, “You deliver”, “Minimum order for delivery”, with the note: “The shipping cost is worked out by the carrier based on weight and destination. You finish setting it up afterwards, in Shipping.”
- Social media — Instagram, Facebook, TikTok, WhatsApp.
Button “Send and finish”.
5. The wait: “We are building your till”
The dashboard appears blurred behind this dialog:
“With what you told us we are setting up your till, your catalogue and your online shop. We will email and message you the moment it is ready, usually the same day.” — “You do not need to wait here.”
You can close the tab
You don’t need to sit and watch the dashboard during this wait — we’ll email you as soon as it’s ready.
6. The ready email
Once Yammbo finishes connecting your till, you get the email “Your till is ready” — “You can start selling!” — with the button “Go to my panel” and a list of suggested next steps, including putting the prep screen on your packing tablet.
Your first test order
Before announcing your shop, it’s worth placing a real, small order: open your storefront, buy a cheap product with your own card, and follow it through to delivered. That way you confirm in one go that Loyverse, Shippo (if you ship) and Stripe are all connected properly before a real customer sees anything.
