In this guide, we’ll walk through how to set up and use the Odoo 18 POS PWA, with helpful screenshots from our tutorial video.
Steps to Use the Odoo 18 Point of Sale PWA
1. Navigate to the POS Module
To begin, open the Odoo 18 dashboard and navigate to the Point of Sale (POS) module. Here, you’ll find all tools and configurations related to managing your POS systems, including the new PWA options.
