Introduction

The custom specific installation concept in Shoper 9 is aimed at installing customer specific

files, templates, etc. This document contains the guidelines to create Shoper 9 POS Custom-

ised Installer and setup Shoper 9 POS accordingly.

Customised Installation

To setup a customised POS installation, install the POSCustomisationSetup before installing

Shoper 9 POS.

The POSCustomisationSetup will copy .exe files, templates, logo, etc. to your system.

POS installation will use these files, templates, etc. to complete the installation as per your

requirements.

To configure installation as per your requirements, the contents of certain files in the

POSCustomisationSetup can be edited.

Customisation of Files

To customise the files, open the folder POSCustomisationSetup > WinRoot > POSCus-

tomisation.

The contents of this folder POSCustomisation are grouped under the extensions .zip, .ini,

.bat, .jpg, .dll and .exe. You can edit the contents of all the files except the .exe files.

Content of the POSCustomisation folder

zip files

The folder POSCustomisation has the following zip files:
