Overview:
Before you start ringing up customers, it is crucial to ensure your Point of Sale (POS) device is connected to the correct physical store and location. Because Eaglecart allows you to run unlimited locations from a centralized admin panel, setting your location ensures your inventory and sales data are tracked accurately.
Here is how to configure your POS settings.
Step-by-Step Guide to Changing POS Settings
Open Settings: Look at the bottom left corner of your POS screen and click on the Gear Icon (Settings).
Select Your Store: In the Settings menu, click the dropdown under Stores and select your main store name (e.g., "yourstore").
Select Your Location: Next, click the dropdown under Locations and choose the exact physical location where this specific POS device is being used (e.g., "Industrial area no 11").
Save: Click the blue Save Changes button to lock in your location.
Additional POS Preferences
While you are in the Settings menu, you can also customize how your POS looks and functions:
Languages: Use the dropdown menu to change the language of the POS interface to best suit your staff.
Dark Mode: Working in a low-light environment? Click the toggle switch next to Dark Mode to flip the screen from white to dark grey, which can help reduce eye strain.
Reset POS Settings: If you ever experience a syncing issue or need to clear the device's local data, click the red Reset POS Settings button at the bottom of the screen. (Note: This will log you out, and you will need to log back in).
