eCommerce tab

The eCommerce tab displays any existing eCommerce Interfaces which have been configured as well providing the ability to configure new eCommerce Interfaces.

 

Enabling the eCommerce tab

The eCommerce tab can be enabled by going to the Subscriptions tab, pressing the "Update Plan" button next to the Subscription that requires the eCommerce Interface, adding the number of required ECommerce Interfaces and finally pressing the "Accept" button to apply the change.

The generic process involved in enabling the eCommerce tab is outlined in further detail below.

For further information about configuring a particular Interface, refer to the Interface's topic in the User Guide under Idealpos Online -> Settings -> eCommerce.

 

 

Go to the Subscriptions tab and press the 'Update Plan' button next to the Subscription as per the below screenshot.

 

 

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. If you'll only have one POS terminal processing eCommerce orders for one type of Interface, you'll only require one ECommerce Interface. If multiple terminals will be used to process eCommerce orders, 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 pressing the "Accept" button to update the plan, the eCommerce tab will appear.

 

Using the eCommerce tab to configure or modify an eCommerce Interface

Detailed steps involving the configuration for each type of eCommerce Interface are outlined separately on each interface's page in the User Guide.
