How Dongdok App Works

Understand how Dongdok App works, from initial setup all the way to your first sale


Overview

Dongdok App follows 3 main steps: Set up your store โ†’ Add products โ†’ Sell and track. You can start accepting orders within 10 minutes of registering.

Step 1 โ€” Create an Account and Configure

Register

Create an account with your phone number or Google. Takes under 2 minutes. See the registration guide for step-by-step instructions.

Configure Your Store

After registering, set up the basics for your business:

  • Currency โ€” Choose LAK, USD, THB, or all the currencies you accept
  • Tax rate โ€” Set a percentage or turn it off if not applicable
  • Business type โ€” Cafรฉ, restaurant, retail, or street stall
  • QR Payment โ€” Add your bank QR code for digital payments

Step 2 โ€” Add Products

Create Categories

Group your products with categories โ€” drinks, food, desserts, etc. Categories make finding items faster at the point of sale. See how to create a category.

Add Products

Create product listings with:

  1. Name and price
  2. Category assignment
  3. Photo (optional)
  4. Modifiers โ€” e.g. size (S/M/L), sweetness level, toppings

See how to create a product for detailed instructions.

Step 3 โ€” Take Orders

The Sales Flow

Taking an order in Dongdok App is straightforward:

  1. Select items โ€” Tap the products the customer wants, adjust quantity on the spot
  2. Apply modifiers โ€” If a product has options, the app prompts you to choose
  3. Choose payment method โ€” Cash, bank transfer, or QR
  4. Confirm โ€” The system calculates totals, tax, and issues a receipt immediately

Payment Methods

QR PaymentDisplay your QR code โ€” customer scans and pays

  • Print a receipt via Bluetooth thermal printer

How Data is Stored

Free Plan โ€” On Device

All data is stored on your Android device. If you uninstall the app, the data is gone. Best suited for single-device use.

Pro/Business โ€” Cloud Sync

Data is automatically synced to the cloud, letting you:

  • Access data across multiple devices
  • View sales from the Web App (dongdok.app)
  • Keep data safe even if your phone is lost

Offline Mode

This is one of Dongdok Appโ€™s key strengths. When internet is unavailable:

  1. You can continue selling normally
  2. Data is saved locally on the device
  3. When connection is restored, data syncs automatically (Pro/Business)

Reports and Analytics

Dongdok App generates reports for you automatically:

  • Daily sales summary โ€” Total revenue, order count, and average order value
  • Top products โ€” See which items drive the most revenue
  • Revenue by payment method โ€” Cash vs transfer vs QR breakdown
  • Trends (Pro/Business) โ€” Week-over-week and month-over-month comparisons
