Practical from day one

Made for a store computer, not a constant internet connection.

Pahal Retail runs locally on Windows with a PostgreSQL database configured for your store. Daily billing can continue without internet when the local application and database are running.

01

Start with your productsImport a catalogue from CSV or add products as you go.

02

Set up your teamGive staff their own access and register billing counters.

03

Protect your recordsPlan regular database backups as part of store operations.

Windows early access

Try Pahal Retail on your store computer.

Download the Windows application and PostgreSQL from their official sources. Pahal Technologies will help configure the database, activate your store and create the first administrator.

02 / DATABASE

Install PostgreSQL

Pahal Retail stores your business records in a PostgreSQL database on the store computer. Use the official Windows installer, which also includes pgAdmin.

Open PostgreSQL download PostgreSQL is installed separately and is not included in the Pahal Retail download.
BEFORE YOU STARTWhat you need
  • 64-bit Windows 10 or 11
  • PostgreSQL installed and running
  • An empty database and database login
  • A Pahal Retail license for this computer
Get installation help

First installation: Windows may show an unknown publisher or SmartScreen message because the current early-access executable is not yet code-signed. Internet is needed to download the installers and exchange the license; everyday billing runs on the local computer.
