Get up and running

Create your account

Open the VendPod app and click Create one on the login page. Fill in your store details:

• Store name — the name of your business
• Your full name
• Email address and phone number
• Country — sets your default currency
• A secure password

Once you submit, you'll be taken straight to your dashboard.

Add your products

Go to Products in the sidebar and add the items you sell. Each product needs a name and price — SKU is optional but recommended.

Products are linked to order line items, so add them before creating your first order.

Add a delivery agent

Go to Agents and create a profile for at least one delivery agent. You'll need an agent before you can dispatch a batch.

Each agent tracks their own active batches, delivery history, and outstanding remittance balance.

Create your first order

Go to Orders → All Orders and click New Order. Fill in the customer's name, address, phone number, and select one or more products.

You can also set a preferred delivery date, which will surface the order in the Delivery Schedule view.

Dispatch a batch

Go to Batches and create a new batch. Select the orders to include, assign a delivery agent, and mark it as dispatched when it leaves.

From the batch detail page you can update individual order statuses as deliveries are confirmed.

Record a remittance

Once your agent returns from delivery, go to Remittances and log the cash they collected. This keeps their running balance accurate and your financials clean.

Outstanding balances are visible on each agent's profile so nothing falls through the cracks.
