Change the language, theme, text size, sounds and checkout options of the Android app.

Android: appearance and sound settings

These settings belong to this device. They change how the app looks and sounds, not how your business is set up. Receipts, taxes and formats are set in the Portal. This tutorial changes the language and the theme, and then lists what else you can adjust. It takes about 2 minutes.

Before you start

  • You are signed in on the device. Every cashier can open Settings from the Home screen.

Steps

Open Settings

On the Home screen, tap the Settings tile (Appearance, POS, device), or tap your name at the top right and choose Settings.

Open Appearance

On a phone, tap Appearance (Theme, transparency, motion and haptics). On a tablet it is already selected on the left.

Choose the theme

Under Theme, choose System, Light or Dark.

Choose the language

Under Language, choose System, Bahasa Indonesia or English. The app switches at once. On Android 13 and newer you can also set the app language in the Android system settings.

Set the text size

Use the Text size slider to make text smaller or larger across the whole app. The sample sentence shows the result.

Choose your sounds

Open POS (Product layout, sounds and confirmations) and switch Scan and add sound, Remove sound and Payment, error and notification sounds on or off. Changes are saved as you make them and the app shows Saved.

Appearance

  • Reduce transparency: use solid panels instead of frosted glass.
  • Reduce motion: fewer animations and no shimmer.
  • Haptic feedback: short vibrations when you tap, hold or finish something.
  • Pin store icon to home screen: adds a shortcut with your store logo and name. Confirm it on your home screen. If the launcher cannot pin shortcuts, the app says so. The logo, name and colour follow your store settings in the Portal.

POS

  • Product layout: Grid or List.
  • Show product stock: display the remaining quantity on product cards.
  • Confirm before clearing the cart: ask first so a cart is never emptied by accident.

Devices

Receipt printers and the cash drawer are set up in the Devices screen. Here you set:

  • Scanner Enter key adds the product for USB and Bluetooth scanners that end a scan with Enter.
  • Camera scanner to show the camera scan button in the POS.
  • Customer display to show the cart on a second screen when one is connected.

See Printer and devices.

About

About (Version, server and this terminal) shows the App version, Server, Terminal, Outlet, Business and Device ID, with a link to Device settings for unpairing, see Sign in as a cashier.

Updating the app

Bakasir for Android has no built in updater. Install the newest version from Google Play, or download the newest APK from the same Open POS window you used to install. Your pairing and settings are kept.

Tips

  • Bright counters. Choose Light and keep transparency on for the best contrast, or Reduce transparency on older devices.
  • Slower devices. Turn on Reduce motion for a calmer, lighter screen.
