If the eCommerce tab is already visible, you can skip this step.

In order to use the Tyro Connect Interface in Idealpos Online, an ECommerce Interface needs to be added to your Idealpos Online Subscription. Doing this will enable access to the eCommerce tab in Idealpos Online.

If you've already added the eCommerce Interface to your Idealpos Online subscription and can see the eCommerce tab, you can skip this section and move onto the next section below which goes through setting up the Tyro Connect Interface.

 

Login to Idealpos Online by going to https://online.idealpos.com.au/app/login

Enter the registered email address and password.

 

 

Once logged in, click on "Settings" located at the bottom-left corner of the page.

 

 

Within the "Subscriptions" tab, select the "Update Plan" button next to the Subscription that contains the Terminal which will process orders received by Tyro Connect.

 

 

The Pricing screen will appear. Press the '+' button on the ECommerce Interfaces row to increase the ECommerce Interfaces to the number of required ECommerce Interfaces.

If required, the '-' button can be used to decrease the number of ECommerce Interfaces. Typically, you'll use one interface for each POS Terminal, however, it should be noted that it is possible to configure multiple eCommerce Integrations for a single POS Terminal. If multiple terminals will be used to process orders that are placed via your eCommerce site, ensure that you select the required number of ECommerce Interfaces. Press the "Accept" button once you have finished selecting the required number of ECommerce Interfaces.

 

 

Shortly after Accepting the change to your plan, you will return to the Subscriptions tab and you will see that the eCommerce tab is now displayed on the far-right side of the Settings page.

 

After the ECommerce Interface has been added to the Subscription, the eCommerce tab will become visible.

If you aren't already on the Idealpos Settings screen, click on "Settings" located at the bottom-left corner of the page.

 

 

Click on the Pos Terminals tab.

Ensure that the Pos Terminal(s) you intend to use with Tyro Connect are currently in an Online state. Should the Pos Terminals appear as Offline, check that they're turned on, have internet access and ensure that the Idealpos Service/Idealpos Upgrade Services are running.

 

 

Go to the eCommerce tab.

 

 

Click on the "Add Service +" button towards the top-right corner of the eCommerce tab to configure the Tyro Connect Interface.

 

The Add Service screen will be displayed.

Enter the required settings:

 

Enabled: Enable Checkbox.

Type: Tyro Connect.

Location Id(*): Enter the Location ID supplied by Tyro.

Table Section: Table Section allows orders from a specific Table Section in the venue (e.g. Indoor, Outdoor, Bar, Restaurant, etc.) to be processed to an assigned POS Terminal. By utilising the Table Section functionality, multiple services can be setup in Idealpos Online using the same Location ID. Note that if the Table Section functionality is required, it will need to be setup by the provider (e.g. Tyro Connect) and the details will need to be provided to Idealpos to configure within the eCommerce Setup.
- If only one service is setup in Idealpos eCommerce and the Table Section is left blank, all orders will be received by the POS Terminal configured for that service.
- If the Table Section is populated, when eCommerce orders are received by Idealpos, they are checked for that Table Section tag. If a match is found, an order is received. E.g. ROOFTOP. Multiple Table Sections can be added to a single Order Service separated with a semicolon (;). E.g. ROOFTOP; GARDEN.

Pos(*): Select the POS Terminal from the dropdown box which will be used to process orders placed from Tyro Connect.

Price Level(*): Select the Price Level that will be used by Tyro Connect. The Price Level that is configured here should be the same as the Price Level that is configured in Idealpos

Location(*): Select the Location from the dropdown list where you want Stock Levels to be deducted from for any orders placed by Tyro Connect. Note that Idealpos also contains a Web Order Location setting in Setup > Global Options > Interfaces > eCommerce. The Location configured in Idealpos is used for reporting sales.

Delivery Item Code: If using a delivery service to deliver ordered items to a customer, enter the Delivery Item Code which will be used for recording and assigning delivery charges to.
