These controls define how the system responds to scanned inputs or typed queries:

*   Scanner Processing Delay

    Time delay (in milliseconds) before barcode scans are processed.

    Default: 100
*   Search Debounce Duration

    Time delay before triggering product or order searches while typing.

    Default: 400 — balances performance and responsiveness.

These options define how monetary values appear throughout the POS system:

*   Currency Symbol

    Set the currency used in your store (e.g., $, €, ₦, ₹, etc.).
*   Display Symbol on Right Side

    If enabled, shows price as 100$.

    If disabled, it will display as $100.
*   Currency with Decimals Display

    When enabled, prices show two decimal points (e.g., $25.00). Useful for precise billing.
*   Space Between Currency Symbol and Amount

    Adds a space like $ 25.00 instead of $25.00.
*   Shorthand Notation (e.g., 5K = 5,000)

    When enabled, large numbers display as shorthand (e.g., 5K, 12M) for cleaner UI.

    Example: mail@domain.xyz

    Choose from the available options based on your infrastructure:

    * SMTP – Supports authenticated sending via email service providers like Gmail, Zoho, Outlook, etc.
    * Mailgun – A popular transactional email API with scalable delivery. API key and domain must be configured.
    * Sendmail – Server-level mail delivery. Only recommended for dedicated or VPS servers with proper sendmail configuration.
    * Disabled – No email functionality. Useful for local or offline environments.
