If you have a stable local network in the shop, you can install just one database on the main computer which is always on.

You can install a database on each computer for redundancy. The drawback is the changes in one database will be visible in another database 5 minutes later.

For the home computer, you should install the database, since it’s on a different local network.

Are you talking about inventory transfer between in-store locations? You will need the From location for transfer, but not for inventory adjustment. Please send us some screenshots by email.

If no database installed on your home computer, WooPOS will automatically connect to the cloud database. Or you can manually connect to the office computer database if you know how to set up TCP/IP port (1788) forwarding on the router.

If you install the database on your home computer (recommended), it will take about 30 minutes to download the first time. After initializing, the data should be synchronized across databases within 5 minutes if there’re no big changes like products importing.

There’s a “publish selected products from POS to web” button in Setup->WooCommerce. You can select products by building a query/filter.

When you do day end, the system will ask you if you want to delete all parked transactions. But the layaway transactions will never be deleted. You can void or recall instead.

[Benjamin]

You can do this way. But we recommend you create products in POS only. Just don’t publish the products in POS to WooCommerce.

You can park the transaction:

We have the dark theme and light theme for whole POS screen, but not for button styles. You can hide some buttons in POS by permissions. You can go Setup->Positions->Permissions->Point of Sale->Visible buttons. See bottom of this page:

Please send us a list you want to delete. We’ll add the feature later.

You should do the physical count in WooPOS. Manual stock changes (except web orders) on WooCommerce won’t be synchronized to POS.

This is a security feature required by PCI compliance. If you turn it off by setting up the re-login timer:

Staying Logged Into POS Between Transactions

You can also turn on switch 072 to disable strong password if it’s too annoying:

We don’t have the Email marketing integration now. WooPOS can automatically upload pos transactions and customers info to WooCommerce. You can then find a plugin to do MailChimp integration.

[Benjamin]

This is not needed if you don’t use WooPOS to upload images to WooCommerce. We have three options because some websites may have security settings which block access to certain resources. Please try all options, at least one of the option should work. The first option (Media API Plugin) should be the easiest one to set up. For more information, please check here:
