Getting started with Achabs

Setting up Achabs takes a few minutes. You create an account for yourself, then a business, then choose what that business needs.

1. Create your account

Go to Get started and sign up with your email, or with Google, Microsoft or Apple. Confirm your email address from the message we send you.

Your account is yours, not your business’s. The same login can later own or work in several businesses.

2. Create your business

After signing in, you’re asked what you want to set up. Choose a business and fill in its details, such as its name and industry.

3. Choose your modules

Pick the modules the business needs. Core, which covers users, roles, approvals and chat, comes with every plan. Some modules need others, and those are added for you. You can see the monthly price as you choose, and you can add or remove modules later.

Not sure where to start? Most businesses begin with one of these:

• A shop: Retail & Point of Sale and Inventory
• A salon or clinic: Services and Online Storefront
• An office with staff: HR and Payroll
• A firm that bills for time: Project Management and Finance

4. Pay or start your trial

Pay through Paystack by card, mobile money, bank transfer or USSD, or start a free trial if one is offered. Longer billing cycles come with a discount.

5. Bring in your records

Rather than typing everything again, use the Excel templates to bring in staff, customers, items and accounts. See Importing your existing records.

6. Invite your team

Invite the people who will use the business and give each one the roles they need. See Inviting staff.

Adding another business

You can create more businesses under the same login. Each one gets its own database, staff and modules, and you move between businesses without signing out.
