We do understand that time is gold for business owners, so in order to make the set-up as quick and painless as possible, we recommend that you prepare CSV files of the following before starting the process:
- List of all products
- List of prices and tax information
- List of SKUs or barcodes
- List of customers

If anything, your data is actually safer when you store it in the cloud compared to saving it locally. Why? Because in case (knock on wood) something happens to your devices (i.e. you get the blue screen of death or they get stolen) you ll still be able to access and take control of your information using other devices that can log into CBAS.
