How to set up in backend Notes: Before going into details about how Web POS and Inventory Management Integration works, please notice that: - 1 warehouse is 1 sales location. Many sales locations assigned to a warehouse aren’t supported. - 1 POS User can work in only 1 sales location. Therefore, he/she can create shipment from 1 warehouse only. Other cases such as 1 warehouse with different sales locations, 1 sales location for 1 POS user who is assigned to different warehouses, etc. aren’t supported by default. Therefore, please contact us if you want to do some customizations. 2.1. Install Web POS and Inventory Management successfully After installing both Inventory Management and Web POS extension successfully on your site, you will see a tab to control Web POS in backend like this: Copyright (c) 2009-2016 www.magestore.com Inventory Management and Web POS Integration – User guide (Turn on your Bookmark bar in PDF reader software to view the manual’s navigation) 4 The system will sync sales locations in Web POS with warehouses in Inventory Management.

Show in-stock products Click on Web POS Checkout tab, then use your account to log in. The system will only show products which are in stock for the warehouse so that POS user can avoid ordering unavailable products by mistake.
