Creating your account

Signing up takes about a minute. You need a phone number and a password — nothing else.

The app is in Khmer

Every button is labelled in Khmer. This page shows the Khmer text you will see on screen, with the English meaning next to it.

Steps

  1. Open ChouyLok and tap បង្កើតគណនីទីនេះ (Create an account here) at the bottom of the sign-in screen.

  2. Fill in the form:

    Field What to enter
    ឈ្មោះពេញ — Full name Your own name. Your shop is named after it automatically, and you can change the shop name later.
    លេខទូរស័ព្ទ — Phone number The number you will sign in with. Use one you can reach on Telegram — it is how you get back in if you forget your password.
    អាសយដ្ឋានអ៊ីមែល (មិនចាំបាច់) — Email (optional) You can leave this empty. If you add one, you can sign in with it too.
    ពាក្យសម្ងាត់ — Password At least 6 characters.

  3. Tap បង្កើតគណនី (Create account) to finish.

You are signed in straight away and land on your dashboard. There is no email to confirm and nothing to wait for.

What is created with your account

  • Your shop. Named "[Your name]'s Workspace" to begin with. Rename it in Settings.
  • One branch, called Main Branch. Add more later if you open another location.
  • The standard staff roles — cashier, stock keeper and so on — ready to assign when you add staff.
  • A shop for selling goods. Every new shop starts with products, stock and the POS. Restaurant screens are not switched on yet (see below).

Your shop is private at first. Nothing is listed publicly until you turn that on yourself.

Running a restaurant or café?

Signing up does not ask what kind of business you run. To use Tables, the Kitchen screen and a food and drink Menu, the owner turns on the ភោជនីយដ្ឋាន (F&B) (Restaurant) add-on in Settings → ការកំណត់ហាង → ទូទៅ → កម្មវិធីបន្ថែម (Shop settings → General → Add-ons).

  • Under the updated subscription policy, it is free during the one-calendar-month trial, then costs 20,000 ៛ per paid cycle for the whole shop, in addition to product and extra-branch charges. Follow the terms displayed in your account while the subscription update rolls out.
  • If enabled during a paid cycle, that cycle includes the full add-on fee even if switched off before invoicing. It cannot be switched off while restaurant orders or kitchen tickets remain open. See Billing.
  • If you only sell food and drink, also turn on លាក់ទំនិញ (ភោជនីយដ្ឋានសុទ្ធ) (Hide goods — restaurant only) to hide the goods POS and the Products list.

See Shop settings for the details.

Things worth knowing before you start

One phone number, one account. A number that is already registered cannot be used again. If you get an error about the phone number, you already have an account — use Signing in instead.

Your first account is the owner. It can see and do everything, including billing. Staff accounts are made later from Settings, and they only see what you allow. Only the owner can switch add-ons on or off.

Every branch shares the same setup. If you turn on the Restaurant add-on, every branch of your shop gets the restaurant screens.

Registration may show an optional guide to dedicated database hosting. You can skip it and start with shared hosting. Registering interest creates no database, move or hosting charge.
