Configure WooCommerce in Idealpos Online

Introduction

WooCommerce allows a store or venue to integrate their current Idealpos Stock Items into an online store.

The current setup of Stock Items in Idealpos can be sent to WooCommerce by simply enabling the Web Store.

Stock Items can be sent to the Web Store with tags, variants (such as shirts that are available in different colours and sizes) and manage the Stock Levels of each Stock Item.

 

Note!

Part of this process may need to be completed by Idealpos.

Resellers can Create the Rest API within the site's WooCommerce, then send the details to interfaces@idealpos.co for the rest of the installation to be configured by Idealpos.
