Getting started with eKaha is fast and straightforward. This guide walks you through the entire process -- from creating your account to processing your first sale.
Step 1: Create Your Account (30 seconds)
Visit app.ekaha.ph and click "Sign Up." Enter your email address and create a password. That is it -- no credit card required.
You will automatically start with a 14-day free trial of our Standard plan, giving you access to all the features you need.
Step 2: Set Up Your Shop (1 minute)
After signing in, you will be prompted to create your shop:
1. Shop name: Enter your business name
2. Industry: Select your business type (retail, cafe, restaurant, pharmacy, billiards, or hospitality)
3. Currency: PHP is set by default for Philippine businesses
Your shop is now created and ready to configure.
Step 3: Add Your Products (2-3 minutes)
Navigate to the Products page and start adding your items:

2. Enter the product name, price, and category
3. Set the product kind (finished good, raw material, or modifier)
4. Add unit information (pieces, kilograms, liters, etc.)
