How is a demo business different from my own business?

A demo business is filled with example data so you can try every part of Deline safely. It needs no plan, nothing in it is sent to anyone, and nothing is filed with a tax office. You manage your demos in Settings → Demo businesses.

What can I do in Demo businesses?

  • Open a demo, or see You are in this demo beside the one you are in.
  • Try the … demo adds a demo for another country (Spain, Cyprus, Ukraine or the United States) when one is offered. You can have one demo per country.
  • Reset demo replaces it with a fresh copy of the example data.
  • Hold to delete demo: "Press and hold for one and a half seconds to delete the demo business." It is deleted at once and you go back to your own business.

What works differently in a demo?

  • There is no Plan & billing tab. A demo never needs a plan.
  • Emails, reminders included, are kept as captured and never sent.
  • Filing steps are refused, and saved returns show Demo: not filed.
  • The bank feed is example data: "This is a demo business: its bank feed is example data. Connect your real bank in your own business."
  • Nobody can be invited. Only you see your demo.
  • The AI assistant has a small allowance of its own, 25 requests a month, separate from any plan.

Which language is a demo in?

It is built in your interface language when you create it, and its reminders are written in that language too.

If something goes wrong

  • "The demo could not be filled completely. Reset it to try again.": press Reset demo.
  • "That did not work. Please try again.": try the button again in a moment.
  • A step says it is a demo: Deline shows a message such as "This is a demo business: it has no plan. Choose your own business to manage your plan." Do that step in your own business.
